Our beautiful newly renovated home, located in the Galveston Historic Lost Bayou District, is less than 10 blocks to the relaxing beach in multiple directions. Two bedrooms provide 1 king, and 2 queen beds, and an air mattress is available for extra sleeping area in the living room. The home has one full bath and one half bath for all your travel needs. Enjoy cooking meals on gas stainless steel appliances while enjoying the central AC inside or the patio outside. Cant wait to welcome you ! This home is located in the Galveston Historic district so here you get the best of both worlds, old Galveston charm, hard wood floors, but also the modern conveniences travelers like to have available to them. Not to mention being close to so many miles of beach a short walk away as well as superb seafood and dining. Guest will have access to the whole upper right unit as well as all areas of the outside of the property. Pets are 100 percent welcome to be with you during your stay at this location, but there would be a standard 25 dollar per night plus tax charge for this during your stay. When you book from us, we'll send a separate request to pay this fee. Galveston Hotel License GVR09194
I am only a message away and able to assist but like my guests to enjoy their relaxation time at the property.
Our location is located in the Historic Lost Bayou district of Galveston but don't let the quiet neighborhood fool you. It is in the center of everything. Close to Pleasure Pier, Seawall and the beautiful sandy beaches of Galveston, UTMB, Strand (our central historic downtown area), cruise terminal for Royal Caribbean and Carnival Cruises and all that our amazing beach island has to offer.
