Home on the Isle - Dog Friendly!

Our home is a beautifully cozy 1940s Craftsman located just minutes from all the best that Galveston has to offer. A few blocks drive to both the Strand and Seawall, this home boasts multiple modern upgrades while maintaining much of its historic charm, such as portions of the original cabinetry, hardwood floors, and interior doors with glass door knobs.

When you aren't out enjoying all the sights on the island, kick back and relax in the cozy living room and watch your favorite show on the 58 inch cable TV. The updated eat-in kitchen is beyond bright and spacious and stocked with all the amenities of home, including a dishwasher and garbage disposal. The adjacent formal dining room seats an additional six, perfect for hosting family gatherings! The built-in hallway cabinet contains games and puzzles for family entertainment.

Bedroom 1 features a queen-sized bed with a set of twin bunks, complete with a nightstand, chest of drawers and a 32 inch Smart TV. Please note top bunk weight limit is 150 pounds. Bedroom 2 features a king-sized bed, nightstand, chest of drawers, 36 inch Smart TV and full-sized dresser and mirror (not pictured). Both bedrooms are equipped with a closet. An additional twin bed is located in the sunroom off of the kitchen.

The bathroom yields tons of storage space and is where you will find both bath linens and beach towels, a hair dryer, extra toilet paper, and a first aid kit. Multiple drawers are available for storing your personal items out-of-sight.

The large, private fenced backyard is perfect for those who enjoy outdoor entertaining and/or travelling with their dogs. Tons of room for both kids and pets to run and play. After a day at the beach, relax and enjoy a cold beverage on the huge covered back porch under the patio lights, all while watching the game on the outdoor TV! Dine at the outdoor table when the weather is pleasant. Laundry facilities and supplies are accessible to guests and located in the garage, as are beach items such as boogie boards and extra chairs, outdoor table umbrella, etc. This area is also perfect for storing empty coolers or hanging up sandy beach towels.

We couldn't have asked for a more amazing property. The house was beautifully decorated & completely stocked with anything you could need. The house is conveniently located to the beach, downtown historic district, and everything else on the island. The entire house is a quiet enjoyable retreat from the hustle of the island. The porch & yard is well kept and we enjoyed watching the lizards scurrying about. Looking forward to future visits to the island and staying at this property.

Perfect home away from home.

Was so neat. They were such generous host. Felt so comfortable. Such a cute home. Loved the sweet spot close to the beach and restaurants. Was a perfect 6 min to target and Walmart. Beach down the road. Parking was great! Sweet and peaceful. Would love to stay again. Host was very quick to communicate with. And everything was simple. Made our family trip so fun and memorable

Fantastic place to stay in Galveston!

My husband and I, along with our little dog, came to Galveston for a long weekend getaway and booked this cute little place. The house was so cozy, and extremely clean. The kitchen was well stocked, we had plenty of towels, the beds and furniture were comfy, and the backyard was perfect for our dog. We really felt at home here.

Nice Home

Kelly's Arts and Crafts home was a wonderful place to stay. We felt comfortable as soon as we walked through the front door until we departed at the end of our stay. The interior renovation was very well done with a good blend of original and updates.The house, and especially the kitchen, were well and appropriately stocked (the best we've stayed at!).The back yard with outdoor shower, was nice, tidy, and well maintained. Overall, a great place to stay.
