As a child, I remember fishing in Galveston bay and watching the mullets skip across the sea. My dad would always proclaim "there goes the happy mullet!" Sure, it was probably just being chased by a bigger fish, but I'm going to stick to my childhood belief that he was jumping out of sheer joy of being in the ocean. That's what beach vacations are all about: building memories.
I grew up in the Houston area. I have so many happy memories of visiting Galveston, that as soon as we could, we bought property here. This is our second rental property in Galveston. At this house, all I have to do to get my beach fix is look out the window! The views are spectacular.
I love the funky island vibe, and the peace and quiet of the West End. This is my happy place. I'm content to just hang out at the house and read on the balcony, or pack up and go into town to experience some of the many activities and restaurants available in Galveston proper. There is so much to do, rain or shine!
Our kids have been coming here since they were babies, they've got Galveston memories to last a lifetime. We are so excited to share this wonderful island retreat with you!
