About this property

The Starboard at M | Historic Lost Bayou Retreat • Walk to Beach • Sleeps 6

The Starboard at M is a newly renovated, pet-friendly 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath home in Galveston's Historic Lost Bayou District — the upper-right unit of a beautifully kept triplex at 1705 Avenue M, less than 10 blocks from the beach in multiple directions. Sleeps 6.

THE SPACE — LIVING AREA & KITCHEN
A comfortable living area welcomes you with a leather sofa, generous natural light, and a smart TV — the perfect place to gather after a beach day. The adjacent dining area and full kitchen come equipped with stainless steel appliances (full refrigerator, oven, microwave, dishwasher, gas stove) plus a Keurig and starter k-cups.

THE SPACE — BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS
The primary bedroom features a queen poster bed with a backyard view, a ceiling fan, and a reading chair. The second bedroom offers two queen beds and a roomy closet. A full bath with a renovated stand-up shower and a separate half bath give everyone space to get ready. Linens and towels are provided, and an in-unit washer and dryer keep your suitcase light.

BED BREAKDOWN
- Primary Bedroom — 1 Queen
- Second Bedroom — 2 Queens

THE SPACE — OUTSIDE
Enjoy a covered front porch for morning coffee, a shared backyard to relax in, and an outdoor shower to rinse off the sand. An EV charger plug-in is available on site.

PLEASE NOTE — UNIT ACCESS
This property is one of three distinct units in a triplex. Guests booking The Starboard at M have exclusive access to the upper-right unit (address 1705) only — not the entire building. Outdoor common areas such as the front porch and backyard may be shared with guests in the other units if those units are booked during your stay.

LOCATION
In the Historic Lost Bayou District of Galveston, TX — under 5 minutes to the beach, Moody Gardens, and Schlitterbahn, and about 50 minutes from Houston via I-45.
