About this property

Cozy Bungalow located 2 blocks from the beach-

Our home is located in the historic East end of the island. This cozy bungalow is within walking distance to the beach, close to many restaurants and bars and lots of great shopping. We are on a corner lot with street parking available as well as a single car garage.

We remodeled this home in 2012 and again in 2019. Every detail of the home has been taken into consideration. We put in a sidewalk and driveway. We resided and painted the exterior. We restored all the sash windows and landscaped the front yard.

My husband and I love to cook. Our home is equipped with lots of cooking utensils, pots and pans and gadgets. There is a charcoal Weber grill for our guests use. Pick a lime from our lime tree for a delicious beverage after a day at the beach.

The home is fully furnished with linens, towels, blankets and pillows, etc. We have provided boogie boards, sand toys, umbrellas for our guests. There are also a couple of beach cruiser bikes that our guests may use. There is a surfer shower located on the lower level that comes in handy after a day on the sandy beaches.
We have tried to think of everything.

Just pack your suit and come for a relaxing time on Galveston island.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

This cute little red house was exactly as perfect as it looked on the site!! It was a beach vacation dream. It was an easy walk in the morning to the beach for sunrise and a quick drive to anywhere else we wanted to go. The house had everything we needed for our stay and for the beach. We loved it!!

Love 'The Red House'

Just wish we could have stayed longer. It is so convenient to everything we wanted. Fell in love with ShyCatz just a few blocks away. Breakfast all day! 'nough said. Beds were comfortable and a/c cold. Galveston is our new beach destiny and 'The Red House' is where I will hang my towel.

Red House

Historic Home with some original features, clean and close to attractions! Owner informative and responds fast! No back yard but great location. Mattresses need replacing but wasn’t a deal breaker for us. AC works well.

Red House

We enjoyed our stay! The lighting was as our only problem! The lighting situation never worked correctly with the controller. Might be a short in King room not sure half the time the lights did not come on with the switch! Nice convenient walk to beach and enjoyed the breeze from the porch!

Nice older house 2 blocks to beach. Comfortable and convenient. Shower not the best but ok. Tub and kitchen sink looked bad. It appears both had been painted at some point and much of the paint had peeled off. We did enjoy our stay there.

Great location!!

We enjoyed our stay at the Red House! We had 2 couples, 2 babies and a 9 year old. We had plenty of space with the 3 bedrooms and open living area. The deck was large and great for relaxing, the breeze there was very nice even on a hot day. We loved having the outdoor shower to rinse off after the beach! There's bikes and a lot of beach equipment in the basement which many would find useful - toys, chairs, umbrellas, kickboards. Plenty of towels were available, and it was nice to know there was a washer and dryer if we needed it! The wifi worked great, as did the AC - we were actually quite chilly the first night. The owners were very helpful and quick to answer any questions we had prior to booking and during our stay. The location of this house is fantastic, only a short walk to the beach and restaurants - with the babies and all of our stuff we opted to drive. There is street parking available along the beach right at the end of the road for a reasonable price. We enjoyed going to this beach, the other beaches further East looked to be much more crowded!

Beautiful home in a great location

Traveling with babies isn't always the easiest task but Amy & Greg's home was perfect not for just 1 family but 2. The bedrooms were spacious enough to comfortably put up a pack and plays for both babies and my older son loved the smaller cozy room in the back. The location was perfect, literally a 2 block walk to the beach and pleasure pier. Everything you needed within walking distance is amazing for a beach trip and the price is unbeatable. Amy was quick to respond to and concerns or inquiries we had and was very understanding and reassuring with all questions. Would definitely stay here again if we get the chance to go back to Galveston!

About the host

Hosted by Amy Watts

Host profile image
We came to Galveston for Spring break and fell in love with this island and the people. We decided to buy this home to share with friends both old and new.

Why they chose this property

When we walked through the doors the first time, we knew we had found our family vacation home. It is comfy and cozy, the location is ideal and the neighborhood is friendly.

What makes this property unique

The beach is 2 blocks away from this home. Captain Jacks, Sky Katz, The Pier Club, The Sunflower, Mosquitos,Gumbo Bar -are all within walking distance. Not all neighborhoods are created equal, but this one is very safe and pleasant.
