SunnyG Get Away - Private Pool - Walk to Pleasure Pier
Its Island Time at the SunnyG Get Away. You are right in the middle of everything with the Seawall and Pleasure Pier an easy walk 1 1/2 blocks away. Spend the day at the beach splashing in the water and building sandcastles on the beach. For a little shade, picnic under the pier - so easy. Take a walk on the Seawall and stroll over to Murdochs for a little shopping and rocking chair action.
Wet your appetite at Fish Tales, Bubba Gumps, Chick Fil A, BLVD Seafood, Fish Company Tacos or Wendys - all in walking distance. Catch a ride on the trolley down to the Strand or to Moody Gardens. The Cruise Terminal is right down the street. Children and teens will enjoy Menard Park with a playground, basketball and skate park also in walking distance.
The SunnyG Get Away is a 1912 grand ole house that is completely and beautifully updated and furnished. The 3/4 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath house sleeps 12. The three upstairs bedrooms include a master with a queen size bed and 1/2 bath attached. Another very large bedroom sleeps 4 on 2 queen beds. Also upstairs is a double bunk room that sleeps 4. These rooms share a full bath. The very large dining room downstairs houses a queen size Murphy bed. Big pocket doors give privacy and easy convenience to the full bath downstairs make this a good room to double as our 4th bedroom.
There is plenty of room to hang out with family and friends inside and out. Relax out on the big front porch and view all the great Galveston events that pass right down the street. We are right on the Mardi Gras parade route. Sit on the big front porch, watch the marching bands and floats go by and catch plenty of beads!
The best kept secret is the lovely entertaining space in the backyard complete with a garden pool and outdoor kitchen. The 4' deep pool has a tanning ledge and sitting ledge designed for socializing. Hang out and enjoy the water features and color changing light.
Let the chef in the group cook a family meal on the great outdoor kitchen while everyone relaxes under the covered pergola. (Propane provided)
Everything you need will be at your fingertips from a fully stocked kitchen to linens, bath and beach towels and beach and pool toys.
Parking is no problem here. We can accommodate 4-5 vehicles with parking in front of the house and in the driveway. Parking permits are provided for street parking.
Our family loves our old house with its original wood floors. We ask our guests to please honor this home by not leaving wet towels or ice chests on the wood. Don't have glass in the pool, pick up your trash, rinse off the sand before entering, rinse and put up beach toys, don't mess with the pool equipment, lock up the house when you leave - just treat it as your own home. We hope that many families will experience a great time at our home.
There is so much to do in Galveston. We are always discovering something new. With its great location and awesome amenities, the SunnyG Get Away can be your escape from the big city for some Sweet Island Time!

This house was perfect. First of all, it stayed a very comfortable temperature. The owners thought about almost every need. The house was super clean, and I hope we left it almost as clean as we found it. The instructions were clear and our questions were answered with labels or detailed sticker instructions. The location was good. We felt safe. The pool was beautiful. It was still cold, but the kids braved the cold water. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was perfect for our needs. This is a great house, with great owners.

We appreciate you spending your time at the SunnyG and taking the time to write a nice review!
Our family had a wonderful time and enjoyed the home's proximity to the beach, Pleasure Pier, and various restaurants. The hosts were very nice and communicative, ensuring we had a good experience and understood the home's amenities. We would definitely like to stay here again.
We were able to use this beautiful house for a multi-family weekend getaway in Galveston. It was the perfect place with a great kitchen for making meals, plenty of rooms and beds for everyone, and a nice little pool to hang out in when we were not at the beach - which was only about a 5 minute walk from the house.

Thank you for the great review. So glad you guys enjoyed yourself. Hope the fishing was good!
We had a truly unforgettable time at Sunny G's. We will cherish the memories we made here. The home is inviting, pool is fabulous, and location simply couldn't be better. Thank you Denise and family!!
The Sunny G getaway was beautiful, historic feel with modern amenities! Comfortable sitting areas, plenty of room for everyone. The outside pool area was wonderful even though the water was too cold for us (haha)! We hope to stay again on our next long Galveston weekend get away!!
We loved this home, especially the pool and the great location near the beach and Pleasure Pier! It was our favorite place we've stayed so far for our annual family reunions in Galveston.
Perfect location to walk to the beach and carnival. We loved the pool!!

About the host
Hosted by Denise & Jim
As Air Force brats, moving to different cities was just a part of life. As a matter of fact, while I was born in Florida, Jim was born in California. When we were stationed in Hawaii, Jim's family was stationed in Alaska. Somehow we both landed in Biloxi, Mississippi and began our lives together. We love to vacation and have traveled many places around the world. What fun to experience the unique customs, local food, art, music, and the people. There is nothing better than discovering what makes a place so special.
Why they chose this property
Galveston has been the go-to place since the late 19th century. Experience its history, charm and relaxed way of life from the Historic Strand District to the beautiful beach front.
What makes this property unique
Soaking up all there is to do in Galveston is as easy as relaxing on the big front porch of our historic home. Take a dip in our pool. Refresh your body, relax your mind and reconnect with your family and friends all on Island Time!
