Great place close to everything!

This was our first time visiting Galveston and we didn't know what to expect. We came here for a conference at the Grand Galvez and this house was about an 8 minute walk away. The seawall was about 5 minutes away by walk. We stayed another 5 days to experience the area and we're so glad we did. The kitchen was well equipped but we honestly never ate dinner in because the restaurants were outstanding. "Downtown" and "the strand" was about 5 minutes by car, so we spent lots of evenings there as well as a few on the Gulf side at those restaurants. Fresh fish and veggies with an array of different ethnic concepts from around the world. Culinary delight. The house was extremely comfortable and the WiFi was good enough for 2 remote works to run simultaneously. We spent many evenings sitting around the table in the secluded back yard enjoying the night breezes. Thanks for a great stay!

The property was perfect for my stay. The ability to bring my dog a bonus. We didn't use the children's room but it was very nicely furnished. The master bedroom bed was extremely comfortable. The shower is small but works as required. The spare room at the front of the house is perfect for pets but needs a little extra cleaning if someone is going to use the bed. There was lots of dog hair on the bed from previous renters. The back patio is perfectly private and offers a small grass area for pet needs. The hutch in the dining room has games. We enjoyed the cards and dice. Overall, the house has everything anyone needs for a comfortable stay.

About the host

Hosted by Edgar Alcocer

Hello!
My wife and I are teachers living near NASA, we have a small family consisting of our daughter, 2 dogs, and a turtle. We love the beach and everything about it!

Why they chose this property

We always wanted a home in Galveston to enjoy the beach, when we don't use it we want others to enjoy the house just like we do. It's two blocks away from the beach, driving distance from theme parks in Galveston. Less than a mile away from Pleasure Pier.

What makes this property unique

It's really close to the beach, in fact everything seems close by just walking, there is also a bike rental store at the end of the street, fun for our family. It was a mess before, the house was hit badly when Hurricane Ike passed by but then it was for sale and we decided to buy and fix it up. As mentioned, everything is new since it's completely renovated.
