About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Findley

Host profile image
I am a mom of 2 beautiful kids with a husband of 18 and a Rotarian with a passion for giving back to my community. After completing a long career in the tech sector, I wanted to find a way to invest in our future while enjoying time with family and friends. Hosting a vacation home in Galveston fulfilled both of goals and allows me to share our family's beach house with families all over the world.

Why they chose this property

Our family vacationed in Pirates Beach for years making memories on the beach just steps away and enjoying this neighborhood so close to downtown Galveston for the food and nightlight but far enough away to feel like you are on vacation (Island Time).

When we had a chance this year to become residents of Pirates Beach we decided to open up our house to share a what we love – trading the daily routine for downtime, enjoying the sun, surf, and seafood, and making new memories.
