About this property

Reel close to the Beach - 2 blocks Pier/Beach

  • Why pay resort fees/parking and wait for what seems like hours for an elevator to stay in a condo, when you can have your very own beach house. We are centrally located to all the main attractions in Galveston and only 2 blocks from the Beach, Seawall Blvd and the Historic Pleasure Pier. You can hear the waves crashing from your front porch. All the great restaurants are within walking distance. Roll your beach wagon and boogie boards right from the front steps of your home to the beach.

Daughters Birthday/ Summer vacation

We had so much fun , house was so cute and comfortable. We loved being at the beach and the fact that it’s only a short walk from the house made it amazing. Would love to stay here again in the future.

Very comfortable and welcoming with charming decor. It truly is only about 3 short blocks to the beach with nearby dining, ice cream, & entertainment options. The kitchen was well-equipped for cooking and we made appreciative use of the washer & dryer. Our dog loved the fenced in yard - so wonderful to drink coffee on the front porch watching her wander around sniffing & sunbathing. Evan responded within minutes every time. A minor maintenance glitch was fixed within 15 minutes. The house was a wonderful home base for the beach life and all that Galveston has to offer.

Cozy beach cottage

We stayed here for a long weekend and enjoyed the beach. It was as just a short walk and super convenient to get the Pleasure Pier area by foot and not have to worry about parking. The house was cute with everything we needed. Host tried to let us check in early but we didn’t end up needing to. Would book again!

perfect for us

My husband and I loved staying at this adorable little home with our dog! Chill beachy decor, front porch, and small fenced yard filled with tropical plants were all perfect for us. Great location with short walk to the beach and longer but very doable walk to the strand! We were a little thrown off by a delayed checkin time and had to improvise a bit, but the owner was in frequent communication and all turned out fine. We really enjoy Galveston and had a lovely stay here! Thanks!

The house itself could use some updates and there were some minor things that didn't work. Overall it's a nice house with a great location. The property owner was very quick to respond with any questions. I would for sure recommend it to a friend.

Overall okay

Overall the stay was okay, I had let the owners know we would be checking in late but I never received the check in information and they had said they would be sending it in the morning. Never received instructions so I had to text super late that evening. Then when we arrived we were not told the off street parking was super small we managed to fit but a heads up would be have great. It was freezing in the home, so had to figure out where heaters were or if they worked. The stove/oven wasn't working and the fridge was off and warm. When I texted the owners I did tell them not to worry about it but still frustrating when you come with food.As for location to pier it was great. There were issues on the street that the house was located on but that isn't something the owners can control. Overall it fit for our little family but not what we had in mind from the pictures.

I loved my stay here. I came down for just two nights, and I arrived very late to the property. It’s just 2 blocks to Seawall, and in a very cute neighborhood. The check-in process was very easy, and I had no issues getting in and getting settled. The house is much bigger than what the photos show, and even cuter in person!! It’s very well accommodated, and the AC is very cold. The front porch area is equipped with a powerful overhead fan that made the hot humid nights pleasant. The yard is completely fenced in, which was a plus for letting my dog out. The kitchen is fully equipped, with a real working oven and stove, full size fridge and dishwasher. I brought bottled water because I can usually taste a difference in water closer to the ocean, but that wasn’t an issue here!! The water pressure was great in the shower. As for the hosts, they were very quick to answer, before booking, and during my stay, and were very helpful when there was a storm rolling in the day of checkout. It’s a beautiful place, and I look forward to going back to stay there again!!

We’ve stayed in many homes over the yearly visits here, but this was by far my favorite location wise. You can see the pleasure pier just down the street and can easily walk to the beach in a few minutes. The house had everything basic we needed and a little yard for my dog to use the bathroom easily and conveniently. Would definitely stay again!
