    • We`re sorry, but we cannot accommodate early check-ins or late check-outs. We`re a small, family-run property, and our housekeeping ninjas need every minute they can get to make your room sparkle.

    • We happily welcome one furry friend! Please check the pet box and pay the pet fee. We kindly ask that paws stay off the furniture and that furry friends do not enjoy solo vacations in the room while you`re out.

    • Under absolutely no circumstances are illegal substances allowed in, near, around, above, below, beside, or anywhere associated with the building. Just don`t.

    • If you lose your key, there will be a $150 rekeying fee. Please keep track of it like it`s the last taco on earth.

    • Please do not set the A/C below 68°. It may freeze up, and while we`re good at hospitality, we`re not magicians. Unfortunately, no refunds will be issued for frozen A/C units.

    • Quiet time is from 10:00 PM to 8:00 AM. Cinderella had to be home by midnight; we`re giving you until 10.

Located within walking distance to everything downtown! Property is so well maintained too. There wasn't sand or rust on everything. They actually clean the room & fluff pillows between guests. Place is picture perfect & bed is memory foam. Soaps/coffee/hairdryer/speaker/iron included.

Banana Bay is AWESOME!

Hands down one of my favorite stays in Galveston. The location can not be beat - and the apartment is WONDERFUL. So beautifully decorated, and outfitted perfectly with everything you need to be comfortable. WAY better than most hotel rooms. Emily was super nice and accommodating. This property has been bookmarked for future visits!

Galveston get away

This property was fabulous! Exactly as represented online. We were able to walk to many restaurants and shops and only got back into the car to go to the beach. Check in was a breeze and communication with the owner was super quick! Would definitely stay again.

Thus property was clean and safe. The decor was awesome and we didn't want to leave. It was a cool oasis in the middle of a Galveston heat wave.

Fell in love!

My husband and I had a quick overnight stay celebrating our anniversary. We fell in love with Emily’s on the Island. Banana Bay was so dreamy and just perfect for our quick trip. It was nice to park and walk to all favorite restaurants and bars. Can’t wait to go back and stay in The Pink Room!

Close walk to the Strand

Stayed her for our first visit to Galveston. Great location that was easy walking distance to the Strand. Location was super clean & we really enjoyed the decor. Attention to detail was placed in usability for the space and it was a great home base for our exploration of the city. Emily was a great host and answered lots of questions for us about places to eat & visit. We’ll book here again for sure our next trip.
