About this property
Stroll to Strand & Cafés, Cozy Market St. Stay Near Port
Newly updated home just steps from the popular Sunflower Bakery, The Original Mexican Cafe, and downtown Galveston. Enjoy a well-equipped kitchen, cozy backyard with shady trees and a surfboard shower, and a charming front porch perfect for evening relaxation. Situated on a corner lot for easy, convenient parking. Recent guest review: "The BEST! Don’t miss a chance to stay in the cleanest, best kept rental we’ve stayed in after almost 10 years of using this service!"
This property has special local compliance requirements which include a signed rental agreement, ID verification, and a security hold of $1000 (which is not a traditional security deposit, just a pending transaction). As an optional alternative to the security hold, you may opt in to purchase a non-refundable damage waiver provided by a third-party insurance company. The optional damage waiver is $40 for stays up to 10 nights, with an additional $2 per day for stays longer than 10 nights. Damage waiver purchases are optional.
To make this process easy for you, we use a secure and very simple, app-free platform called Happy Guest. It is not an app, and you do not have to sign up for an account - it’s a safe and secure website. It also gives you a guest portal with all the info about the home and all of my favorite local spots.
If you have any questions, just message us anytime! Happy to help!
