About the host
Hosted by Andy C.
Growing up going to Galveston and spending time at Stewart Beach, we love offering opportunities for guests to make memories in Galveston and have a fantastic time.
Why they chose this property
This neighborhood has many historic homes and is located just over 3 blocks from the beach. It is quiet and walkable to so much of what Galveston has to offer.
What makes this property unique
This home was built in the early 1900s and is full of historic charm. But perhaps the biggest draw is the the phenomenal outdoor area with the sparkling pool, large sectional, 55" TV, fire table, dining area, Weber grill, outdoor fridge, child playset, and so much more.
