Centrally located historic home with so much to do you will never want to leave!

Stunning newly remodeled 4 bedroom, 3 and 1/2 bathroom home in the historic district that sleeps 12 comfortably with free parking on premise. The home is designed for entertainment and fun or just relaxing and has something for everyone. The cooks will delight in preparing meals in the well-appointed gourmet kitchen that offers all stainless-steel appliances including a 6 burner commercial gas stove with griddle. It has an oversized island, two large sinks, coffee bar and is open to the living/dining with seating for 12. The home has numerous large smart flat screen televisions with cable and free Wi-Fi throughout, as well as USB compatible plugs alleviating the need for charging adapters. For those that are young at heart, there is a game room that boasts an air hockey table and Jurassic Park pinball machine. There is also an attached media room with a 75" flat screen TV and comfy reclining sofas for movie night!

There are two outside decks with seating, perfect for sunset viewing and a downstairs patio with an outdoor gas grill and dining table. There is a private splash pool, great for play or relaxing and a hot tub for just chilling. The pool is only 5 feet deep so it is NOT FOR DIVING. For those that are sports minded there is a putting green and covered basketball court for shooting hoops. When not shooting hoops, the covered carport is perfect for setting up tables for an outdoor dinner. We provide the folding tables and chairs. There are outside fans and a cooling unit for added comfort. There is also an outdoor shower for rinsing off post pool and beach.

Conveniently located to a variety of restaurants, shopping, Museums, Historic churches and other activities on the Strand. Just 5 blocks from the beach and seawall. We are pet friendly and provide convenient poop bag dispensers for picking up after your fur babies. Upon approval, we will allow up to two dogs up to 40 lbs. each with a required non-refundable $150 per dog pet fee. We kindly request that you utilize the bags to keep the yard clean. There are two outdoor cameras for safety. One in the front of the house and one in the back of the house.

Fun and Relaxing Times

Everything was great about this property - my family had a great time - the game room was a big hit. Pool was refreshing and so was the hot tub. It is centrally located to the boardwalk, the beach and Moody Gardens.

Galveston Home Great For the Whole Family!

This home is in a nice central location that's easy to get to everything. We were rushing around on a quick trip for an Ironman triathlon, but we'll definitely go back when we have time to enjoy all the many amenities they have to offer. The owners had great communication and everything could not have gone any smoother. We highly recommend this home if you're planning a trip to Galveston!

Very nice place to stay!

Location was great, it seemed like everything was close by, just a short walk to the beach, all kinds of food. The house was very nice, we had 11 people and had plenty of room, the kitchen was fantastic and we used it all but one night. The kids loved the pinball machine and air hockey. We try to have a family vacations like this every couple of years and this one did not disappoint. The house was very clean and orderly, very accommodating for our size group.

The house was gorgeous and had plenty of space for us to spread out. The house has so much to do when you’re not out on the island that you’ll never be bored. Pool, hot tub, air hockey, basketball and pinball. We had a blast and we loved the deco and the layout. A definite favorite for our family. The host was extremely helpful and friendly as well.
