Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Beautifully updated, this 3BR/2.5BA home presents a modern basecamp within a short walk of The Strand and downtown Galveston’s historic sites. Highlights include stylish shiplap walls, plush furnishings, and a sleek kitchen with stainless steel appliances. Sip morning coffee on the covered front porch. Behind the home, find a grassy fenced yard and a charming deck with rocking chairs.
The convenient location keeps you close to a plethora of shops and restaurants as well as boat charters on the channel. Hop on the historic trolley just 2 blocks away for easy transport to Moody Gardens at the Seawall Beach Loop and shopping/dining at the historic Downtown Loop.
LIVING AREA
A comfy sofa and love seat invite you to unwind in the living area. Watch movies on the flat-screen TV.
KITCHEN & DINING
Stainless steel appliances sparkle alongside spacious granite countertops in the kitchen. Perch at the kitchen bar for four as dinner simmers on the gas range.
Share home-cooked meals around the table for four in the dining area.
BED & BATH
This two-story home sleeps six guests in three bedrooms.
Sleep soundly on a king-size bed in the primary suite. The en-suite bathroom boasts a double vanity and a walk-in shower.
The second bedroom holds two twin-size beds, and the third bedroom is furnished with a queen-size bed. The guest bathroom is configured with a tub/shower combination.
A half bath provides added convenience.
OUTDOOR AREA & AMENITIES
Kick back with a cold drink in a rocking chair on the back deck. The grassy, fenced backyard offers space to play outdoor games.
The covered front porch is furnished with a bistro table for two. The balcony has two Adirondack chairs and a lovely downtown view.
EXTRA PERKS & MORE DETAILS

THE LOCATION
Stroll 6 minutes to the heart of The Strand to admire Victorian houses, dine at tasty restaurants, and shop at unique stores. Downtown Galveston is also home to museums and historic sites.
Drive 5 minutes to Porretto Beach to soak up the sun by the Gulf.
