About the host

Hosted by Kally & Orlando

Host profile image
We love Galveston. It's an interesting and fun island. There is a lot to do in the area and our property is centrally located, so we are close to everything. We personally suggest having a vehicle when you stay. This island is large and walking would be tiresome.

Why they chose this property

Our neighborhood is a multi-cultural neighborhood, centrally locally in Galveston. Because it's centrally located, you will sometime hear the sounds of sirens. In addition, our neighbors across the way enjoy the island vibe which includes listening to music and hosting small gatherings. They typically turn their music down by 9:00pm. When you're inside the home, you can barely hear the music. If you are sensitive to sounds, our property may not be the best option. If you enjoy experiencing liveliness and ethic diversity, then our property is perfect.

What makes this property unique

This is more than a little lime cottage. We have also a created a fun experience for your stay with us. We took our love of the ocean and created the Makin' Waves experience. In addition to all the fun but classy beach-themed touches throughout the cottage, we have also included 4 satin robes. Makin' Waves is perfect for a fun staycation, the weekend cruiser, a birthday celebration, the annual girls trip, or that romantic getaway! We know your stay in Galveston will be a sweet adventure. Hopefully, you'll find our home relaxing and stress free. We have stocked our kitchen full of coffee, tea and water. Along with a few breakfast items to start your day. We want you to consider our home your home, even it's only for a few nights. Feel free to reach out to us if you have questions or concerns. We are very quick to respond.
