Adjacent to the living room, there's a splendid dining area and full kitchen that has all the stainless-steel appliances one could ask for including a full refrigerator, oven, microwave, dishwasher, and stove, as well as a Keurig for those mornings when you need a boost.

The master bedroom includes one queen poster bed with a view of the backyard, along with a ceiling fan to keep you cool and relaxed.

There’s plenty of natural light in here too as well as a nice-sized closet to hide add any clothes or extra belongings to. No need to bring linens either, we have you covered on that.

There’s also a nice porch in the front for extra space to have that morning coffee.

The home is in a lovely older quiet safe neighborhood. I walked my little dog several times a day feeling very comfortable. The balcony was nice. The home is close to the seawall, places to eat, shop and have fun.

Clean, Cute, and Cozy
Shower is very nice (shampoo, conditioner, and body wash were provided), short walk to the beach and beds are very comfy! They even provided beach towels which was a huge plus as we don’t own any and did not want to purchase them!

Relaxing Stay
Great location within walking distance of both the beach and The Strand! Love the porch and enjoyed quiet evenings hanging out while the pups watched the neighborhood birds.
Charming property in a great location. One glitch, with some basics such as paper towels & TP missing, however management was quick to respond & rectify the situation. Would stay there again.
Nice place and neighborhood. Close to the beach, the strand and shopping.

Great Family Vacation Spot
We had a wonderful weekend before heading out for a big family cruise over Labor Day weekend! The accommodations were clean, we had everything we needed, and the owners were kind enough to inform us of some local events happening over the weekend. The location was great- we absolutely loved Shykats Diner for breakfast, and it was a very short walk for us to get there! Highly recommend!
Great property. The entire space can very easily accomodate 6. Has all amenities and is very close to the Cruise line/beach.

Great place to stay
The house and accommodations were exactly as advertised and my wife and I had an amazing time during our stay. All of our questions were answered swiftly and the overall customer service was top notch. I would 100% recommend Rest & Enjoy Vacation Rentals to anyone interested in finding a great place to stay while on vacation. Thank you.
Great location. Comfortable home. Great experience

Clean and cozy
We stayed overnight here to attend an event at Texas A&M Galveston. The upstairs duplex was clean and quick drive to campus. Everything was clean and restful. We appreciated the visit.
We enjoyed sitting on the front porch enjoying the view of the historical homes that line the entire block. You can get anywhere you want to go within minutes, beach, restaurants, shopping… It’s not a lot of fluff, it’s just right.

Our weekend was wonderful! The duplex was clean and in a perfect location. It was warm and cozy with plenty of room. We had plenty of sun and the porch was the perfect place to have our coffee. Will definitely be back!!

Great service!
Our stay had a bit of a rough start, but Gareth corrected the situation IMMEDIATELY! I was very pleased with his quick response and he made things right. Apartment is very comfortable! I would stay here again!
We stayed one night prior to our cruise. The house was clean and described accurately by the host. Close to everything in Galveston. Will rent here again for our next cruise if it’s available
The location was great, house was pretty, and the bedrooms were a generous size, and the neighborhood was quiet.
Cleanliness could have been better - several clumps of dog hair, primary bedroom should have better lighting (you have to stand on the bed to reach the very short chain on the ceiling fan) and only K-cups of coffee available.

Spring Break 24
Beautiful and relaxing historic house. Bedrooms are big with lots of windows. Upstairs balcony was great for morning coffee or sunset views. Kitchen is updated with everything needed for meal prep. Comfortable living space. Location was quiet and short walk to the beach.
