- Welcome to House for Waves, a charming Galveston Island cottage just a half-mile from the Seawall and beach. This private two-bedroom, two-bath retreat is perfect for couples, families, friends, and dog owners looking for comfort, convenience, and a relaxing island getaway.
Each bedroom features its own ensuite bathroom, offering privacy and comfort for every guest. Sleep soundly in the luxurious king bed or the comfortable queen bed with an adjustable base. Need extra sleeping space? The living room includes a queen sleeper sofa.
After a day at the beach, unwind in the fully fenced backyard while your dogs safely enjoy the outdoor space.

Guests love the convenience of free on-site EV charging, off-street parking, and a washer and dryer for longer stays.
The cottage is ideally located just a two-minute drive or an easy walk to the beach, with Galveston's restaurants, attractions, and entertainment close by. Enjoy your morning coffee with your choice of Keurig or drip coffee maker before heading out to explore the island.
