Owner info
Year Purchased: 2006
About the owner: Married for 44 years to my best friend. Together we have 2 daughters and 5 grandchildren. I grew up in Indiana and my bride grew up in Pennsylvania. We moved to Dallas for law school in the '70's. I wanted a place in the mountains and she wanted a place at the beach. She won. This has been our family's vacation home since we started building it in 2005. Over the past 10 years in Galveston we have survived a recession, Hurricane Ike and a couple of tornadoes. We rent to family and friends. We enjoy talking to every potential guest to make sure the property will be a good fit.
Why the Owner Chose Galveston, TX, USA:
Our family likes beach vacations, whether in the Caribbean, Mediterranean, Atlantic or Pacific. We especially like feel the sand between our toes in a natural, uncrowded environment. We do not like extended air or car travel anymore. The Texas Gulf Coast and the West End of Galveston Island was the closest place we could find that fit our time and money budgets. We wanted a "kid magnet" for parents, children, grandchildren, schnauzers and guests to make family memories at the beach. We named the house Anne Mare after the middle names of our two daughters.
The Unique Benefits at this Cottage:
A beach side location with no sea wall means you have to build on stilts, but in return you get a real beach with lots of birding, fishing, cycling and kayaking opportunities. Fantastic sun rises and sun sets. Hear the surf from the balcony. Enjoy the stars and the lighted fountains at night! Hike, bike or cart around the 1000 acre resort. Cook out under the house. Go surf fishing or crabbing. A beach resort community with the feel of a neighborhood.
