On the ground level under the house, there is covered parking for 2 cars, a charcoal grill with charcoal and grill tools provided, and a table and chairs for additional entertainment space. Also on the ground level under the house, we have just added a cool 7-foot kid's tube slide, 2 kid's swings, a porch swing, and a toddler swing.

We have always loved coming to visit Galveston through the years and finally decided to move here in 2009. We have been living in Galveston since 2009 and started in the short term vacation rental business in 2013. We also started an outdoor adventure company, Beachtowntours.com where we take guests on a variety of kayak tours and bike tours in Galveston. We know how important vacations and experiences are for guests so we make every effort to make your time at our rental, Beach Town Bay House and /or a kayak tour with our outdoor adventure company, Beachtowntours.com a memorable one.
Why they chose this property
Our property is located west of the city where there is less city noise and more open land so that you can enjoy the peace and quiet.

You are able to enjoy views of the beach and bay from decks on three sides of the house with just a short 4 block walk/drive to the beach.

One of the unique benefits of our rental is that you receive a free 2-hour kayak tour or use with our outdoor adventure company, BeachTownTours.com while you are at our bay house. This is a $50 per person additional value that you receive with the rental of our Beach Town Bay House
Another unique benefit we offer is allowing free late checkout upon request which provides an extra half day for you to enjoy the rental.
