This property has special local compliance requirements which include a signed rental agreement, ID verification, and a security hold of $1000 (which is not a traditional security deposit, just a pending transaction). As an optional alternative to the security hold, you may opt in to purchase a non-refundable damage waiver provided by a third-party insurance company. The optional damage waiver is $40 for stays up to 10 nights, with an additional $2 per day for stays longer than 10 nights. Damage waiver purchases are optional.
To make this process easy for you, we use a secure and very simple, app-free platform called Happy Guest. It is not an app, and you do not have to sign up for an account - it’s a safe and secure website. It also gives you a guest portal with all the info about the home and all of my favorite local spots.
If you have any questions, just message us anytime! Happy to help!

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Chris Wren
I am a native Texan and married to an Okie and we have 2 kids. Grew up on the coast of Texas around Houston. Galveston has been a part of my life growing up, from sailing with my father, to going to the beaches. We are foodies, Comic-Con nerds and love to travel checking out all the Diners, Drives-ins and Dives we can find along the way. We are here most of the time. Love getting to know people and their story, but also respectful to guests' privacy. When you arrive, you might find us on our balcony enjoying the fresh gulf air.
Why they chose this property
We selected Galveston for a couple of compelling reasons. Firstly, we have dear friends in the area, and after visiting multiple times, we developed a strong affinity for the region. Additionally, as I mentioned earlier, I have deep-rooted memories from growing up in this area, making it even more special to me.
Allow me to introduce myself: I'm Chris, and I've dedicated my entire career to the hospitality industry. However, my lifelong aspiration has always been to own a Bed and Breakfast (BNB). After careful consideration, we decided to pursue the route of short-term rentals (STR) because it aligns with today's trends and offers a more streamlined and turnkey approach compared to a traditional BNB.

What makes this property unique
What drew us to this home were its distinctive style and the charm of its age. Its central location was another appealing aspect. Additionally, the historical significance of being part of the 1900 storm rebuild added to its allure. Situated on a corner, we are fortunate to have more parking space than most properties on the island.
