Newly Renovated Historical Galveston Home - 8 min walk to beach!

Being less than 10 blocks to a relaxing beach in multiple directions, this newly renovated home located in the Galveston Historic Lost Bayou District and will be perfect for beach enthusiasts and those looking to seek out the activities in Galveston.

THE SPACE – LIVING ROOM / KITCHEN & DINING:

Walking into this 2-bedroom home, you'll be greeted by a very comfortable living area with plenty of seating and light for your family to gather. Sink into the leather couch after a long day or watch the hottest game on the included smart tv!

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. We’ve also included some k-cups so that you don’t have to run out for them your first day. Here you’ll additionally find an outside porch and stairwell that leads you to the captivating back yard.

Past the kitchen is the full bathroom, half bathroom, and bedrooms.

THE SPACE – BEDROOMS, BATHROOMS

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 even an extra chair for those times you’d want to steal away in a good book. The second bedroom provides two queen size beds for extra guests to spread out. 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 is a full and half bath accessible in this home, so you have ample space to get ready for your days. The full bath includes a lovely renovated stand-up shower too so that you can wash the day away. We’ve also included a full-size washer and dryer so you can lighten your suitcase too!

THE SPACE – OUTSIDE

You will also have access to all areas of the outside of the property where there is extra seating and a small yard to relax in. Don't forget the outside shower for that pesky sand that came back with you from the beach🙂

We also provide an EV charger plugin for vehicles that need a quick charge!

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

Whether you want to enjoy your time the night before you depart for a cruise at the Galveston Cruise Terminal (twenty minutes away), enjoy a day at the beach (less than 5 minutes away), take the family over to Moody Gardens or Schlitterbahn (less than five minutes away), or just hang out at home, this location is the place to be!

Collecting our Aggies
We have two students at Texas A&M Galveston and this was our first chance to meet them in Galveston around the holidays. We decided on a VRBO vice hotel to save money and we were not disappointed. The house was clean had all the amenities and was easy enough to find. Our only small issues that will not prevent us from using this property again was no counter space in the bathrooms and the windows were a little loose in their frames so when the wind blew the windows rattled.

Galveston stay
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.

perfect for pup
This was a great choice for our small family and pup. The decor was nice enough but not over fussy. Finishes were pet friendly so that we didn't need to be hyper vigilant about our dog's behavior ( though she's very well behaved. No credit to us. She's a golden retriever.) The beds were very comfortable ( My top priority!). It's an old remolded property that some might think a bit funky. I say "comfortable"! We hope to come again.

Galveston stay
We had a great experience. Only complaint was it took awhile for the air conditioner to cool the house so in the day it would be hot but at night it would feel good. Other than that it was the perfect location and overall a great experience.

Galveston shared property
The neighborhood was quiet and close to attractions. We would not recommend this property for groups of more than two people. The living area and dining area were small. The only lighting in the master bedroom was a ceiling fan and you had to almost stand on the bed to reach the short fan chain. The master bedroom could benefit from more lighting and at least one bedside table. If your party has more than two people, we suggest renting both top units.

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.

Not exactly as listed
Let me start with all the good stuff first. Amazing location and so close to everything! Most of all our restaurants were within 5 minutes of us. We were able to bring our dogs with us which was a huge reason for booking with this location. It was quaint and very clean inside and had normal old house things going on like funnily spaced outlets and no TV in bedrooms which wasn’t a biggy for us. Owners were prompt with any questions I had as well. Now here is the only big issue I had with this listing about the house. It is a TRIPLEX! It is not a house just to yourself. You share the front porch with one neighbor and underneath there is another home type set up awkwardly placed in the ally. We had three different family’s in and out during our stay and with our dogs it was a huge pain to navigate potting them in the shared backyard space especially when our neighbors also had dogs. Also the backyard isn’t accessible from the interior of the home so we would have to leave out the front and go all the way around and past the bottom neighbor to potty our dogs multiple times per day. Past that shock upon arrival I ended up having a great time but would have loved for this listing to have been up front in its setup of the home. For anyone without pets I think it’s a great location! For dog owners looking to rent be aware it’s going to be more chores than if you were to rent a private home.

Galveston Christmas celebration
Took my family to Galveston to celebrate Christmas by the coast. The house was perfect! It was clean, beds were comfortable, neighborhood was nice; location was close to everything we wanted to do. If the weather had cooperated, we would've walked to the local pub - such a cool place. The only reason I did not give 5 stars (and this is my first time not to; I love VRBO rentals) is because we didn't get check in info until after 4pm; we got to town at 3:30 and patiently waited to gain access to the house. We cooked every morning, the kitchen was fully stocked with plenty of pots, pans, baking sheets but no pot holders, trivets and only 2 kitchen towels. Problem was easily solved at Dollar Tree. Considering these are the only things that could've been better, it's not a big issue after the fact. The owner responded to all my messages immediately, so communication was good. I definitely would recommend this house to anyone visiting Galveston and looking for a centrally located rental.

Great experience with first Vrbo stay.
Great communication. Loved having a house to stay at while visiting out of town. It can be pricey with all the fees, but staying in hotels gets old. The manager communicated well. Easy check-in experience. Incredibly comfortable king-size bed. Some minor cosmetic things but to be expected in Galveston with older houses that have been updated. Glad to have been able to take our little dog. Very nice (and new) appliances and electronics to use. The shower and bathroom were really nice! Lots of room for a 2 bedroom!
