Like all career military families, we and our 4 children, lived a life of relocation.

New schools here. New friends there. But after 25 years of service, when it was time to choose a forever home, the decision to move to Galveston Island was an easy one for us.

We love the beach. We love the idea of a life with our toes in the sand on as many days as possible.

In fact, you can often find us doing just that, barefoot on the beach – with our toes in the sand and a drink in our hand, sharing good times with each other, local friends, or one or all of our now-adult children.

We are a fun, tight-knit family and although our children have now moved off the island for their education and careers, we enjoy our time on the beach when the kids come home.

Now that Jack has fully retired from aviation, serving an additional 15 years as a pilot with Southwest Airlines, we are able to devote more time and attention to living and sharing the Galveston Island lifestyle.

It wasn’t long after moving to the Island that we came up with the idea to invest in another vacation rental condo on the Galveston Seawall after having success with our condos in Gulf Shores, Alabama.

We added four additional condos to our short-term rental portfolio. Cat enjoys decorating the condos with coastal themes and bright colors, creating a beachy vacation rental vibe that guests enjoy.

With each new condo, we continue receiving five-star reviews from our guests. We are proud to receive the “Airbnb Superhost” Badge for our hospitality, attention to detail, cleanliness, value, and guest communication.

After nearly 20 years of being Galveston Islanders by Choice, we love providing our guests with a taste of Island life – morning coffee with a gulf breeze, golf cart trips to local restaurants, fishing on the pier, those amazing Galveston sunsets and toes in the sand as often as possible.
