Guest access
Please note that there is a separate garage apartment also located on the property- Breath Deep: Tiny Luxury Seaside Sanctuary. The garage (with access to the washer and dryer) is shared.

Other things to note
Regarding your pets, we are also dog-owners and dog-lovers, and understand how nice it is to have your four-legged family members welcome, too.

We appreciate the La Quinta policy- all breeds, all sizes, no charges. We have tried to adopt the same policy, and ask that you help us maintain it by:
(1) ensure your pets are flea-free,
(2) make sure pets are up-to-date on vaccines,
(3) keep the property in good shape, trying to keep the effects of shed to a minimum (i.e. no shedding pets on the sofa/bed if possible),
(4) clean up poo,
(5) respect other guests that may be staying in the garage apartment, and
(6) do not leave dogs that cannot be left alone, do not bring dogs that must be crated unless you bring a crate or dogs that have aggression issues unless you will be with them at all times when others are present.

THAT SAID, IF YOU WANT TO BRING YOUR PET(S) WITH YOU, YOU MUST TELL US WHEN YOU BOOK. We need to let our cleaning service know. If you do not, EXTRA FEES WILL APPLY.

Across the street(ish) from Queen's BBQ, a 2 blocks to Brick House Tavern & Tap and Joe's Crab Shack. Not a fan of the National Chains? Not a problem, we love our local restaurants and bars too! Gumbo diner, Bronco Burritos, SHRIMP n' STUFF!!! All so close. With all the delicious seafood, how will you chose! And, of course, the MAIN attraction, the beach is a short 2 blocks where you can get your sun on and ride bikes along the seawall for some breathtaking views (and STELLAR people watching!!!) The Historic Galveston Island Pleasure Pier is less than a 1 mile away (a SUPER easy bike ride), and the Historic Strand (2.3 miles) for more delicious dining options and CANDY at La King's! The Galveston cruise terminal is less than 3 miles and Schlitterban/Moody Gardens, as is less than 4 miles away. Pro-Insider tip, for a good free time with your family, take a ride (in your car, or on a bike) out to the ferry terminal to Port Boliver in the evenings and take a free ferry ride (15 minutes each direction) over (and back) and watch the dolphins jumping up and around the bay. The kids will love it.

There is street parking available for free. There are a variety of bicycle sizes for you to use in the garage, and you're welcome to store your own bikes in the garage. Galveston has spent a significant amount of time and money putting in easy to use bike paths throughout the East end making it very bike-friendly. It's often quicker to get around on foot/bike than it is to get stuck in your car on the seawall. Plus, your body and earth will thank you!!!
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Hosted by Frederick Reinhardt

Host profile image
50 year old wanna-be-hipster from Austin, Texas, dad of two, amazing paralegal.

We are four generations of born and bred Galvestonians. When not visiting our family on the island, our base is in Austin, Texas. When not staying in the "sticks n' bricks", we travel the country in our rolling "Brooklyn Apartment" taking in the sites and sounds of the best that the State and National Park systems have to offer making sure our kids spend as much time outside in nature as they do in front of the idiot box on their gaming systems.

What makes this property unique

2 blocks from the seawall/beaches, beach gear for playtime, and bicycles available at no extra charge for all guests on a first come first serve basis. Charming east end rental in the heart of it all. Walking distance to the beach, popular restaurants and the Pleasure Pier. Very near the Strand and cruise terminal.
