About this property
Surf Trip Studio Apartment
Summary:
Located just five blocks from Galveston’s iconic Seawall, The Botanical offers guests the comfort of a private room with the feel of a boutique hotel. Adjacent to UTMB Medical Complex and only minutes from The Strand Historic District, it’s a convenient and cozy base for short or extended stays.
The Space:
Our property features 21 cozy short-term rental units, all located within a two-hallway building that combines the convenience of a hotel with the comfort of home. Each unit comfortably sleeps two guests in a queen-size bed and includes a wall-mounted smart TV with streaming capabilities, a full-size kitchenette equipped with a Keurig coffee maker, blender, toaster, refrigerator/freezer, full-size microwave, dishes, glasses, coffee cups, and basic supplies. You’ll also find an iron and ironing board, a collapsible clothing rack for rooms without closets, a round table with seating for two, a nightstand with a lamp, and an individually controlled air and heating system for your comfort.
The bathroom is full-sized and includes a tub, hair dryer, shampoo, conditioner, body soap, hand soap, bath towels, and beach towels.
This listing is for Room #1 - Surf Trip Studio Apartment, featuring its own private full bathroom. Seasonal rates apply.
If you’re booking for a group event—such as a birthday, engagement party, wedding, or corporate getaway—ask us about reserving multiple rooms together. With 21 units in the building, The Botanical is well-suited to host larger groups while still providing each guest with their own space.
Guest Access:
We do not issue keys or provide access codes in advance. Guests will receive an access code for the keypad entry into the building and their own unique code for their rooms upon arrival. We want to ensure all guests are familiar with our lock system and feel comfortable settling into the building. Wi-Fi access code is included in the in-room instructions.
The Neighborhood:
The Botanical is in a quiet, walkable part of Galveston, just five blocks from the Seawall. You’ll be close to the beach, great local restaurants, and island attractions. UTMB is right next door, and The Strand Historic District is only a few minutes away—perfect for exploring, working, or just relaxing.
Getting Around:
Convenient street parking in front of the building.
Other Things to Note:
Guests staying more than three nights can request room service, including clean sheets and towels. Our building offers amenities such as an ATM, drink machine, travel brochure center, and a complimentary guest washer and dryer on-site. Security cameras are installed in the public hallways and outside the building.
