This beautiful home is perfect for your next retreat to Galveston Island! Its bright decor and modern touches (like the fabulous bathroom tile art) create an ambiance you'll never want to get away from. Relax every morning out on the furnished front porch with a hot cup of coffee. At night, listen for the ocean waves nearby while enjoying the private fenced-in yard, perfect for the kids (as well as fun-loving adults) can enjoy the complimentary beach toys during their stay!
What's nearby:
The scenic Seawall drive is less than a half-mile from this home, and that's just the beginning! This home is also just over a half-mile from the Galveston Community Pool at Lasker Park, allowing for fun breaks from the heat. Guests can enjoy the waterfront at the Galveston Island Historic Pleasure Pier, just over a mile away, while plentiful shops and restaurants are less than two miles from this home, including Gaidos, Nick's Kitchen and Beach Bar, and Miller's Seawall Grill. And take advantage of the amusement parks in town - from the atmosphere of Moody Gardens to the wet-and-wild rides of the Schlitterbahn Waterpark, just under four miles out!
Things to know:
Free WiFi
Full kitchen
Snowbird-friendly.
Parking notes: There is free parking available for 2 vehicles.
