Home on the Isle - Dog Friendly!

Our home is a beautifully cozy 1940s Craftsman located just minutes from all the best that Galveston has to offer. A few blocks drive to both the Strand and Seawall, this home boasts multiple modern upgrades while maintaining much of its historic charm, such as portions of the original cabinetry, hardwood floors, and interior doors with glass door knobs.

When you aren't out enjoying all the sights on the island, kick back and relax in the cozy living room and watch your favorite show on the 58 inch cable TV. The updated eat-in kitchen is beyond bright and spacious and stocked with all the amenities of home, including a dishwasher and garbage disposal. The adjacent formal dining room seats an additional six, perfect for hosting family gatherings! The built-in hallway cabinet contains games and puzzles for family entertainment.

Bedroom 1 features a queen-sized bed with a set of twin bunks, complete with a nightstand, chest of drawers and a 32 inch Smart TV. Please note top bunk weight limit is 150 pounds. Bedroom 2 features a king-sized bed, nightstand, chest of drawers, 36 inch Smart TV and full-sized dresser and mirror (not pictured). Both bedrooms are equipped with a closet. An additional twin bed is located in the sunroom off of the kitchen.

The bathroom yields tons of storage space and is where you will find both bath linens and beach towels, a hair dryer, extra toilet paper, and a first aid kit. Multiple drawers are available for storing your personal items out-of-sight.

The large, private fenced backyard is perfect for those who enjoy outdoor entertaining and/or travelling with their dogs. Tons of room for both kids and pets to run and play. After a day at the beach, relax and enjoy a cold beverage on the huge covered back porch under the patio lights, all while watching the game on the outdoor TV! Dine at the outdoor table when the weather is pleasant. Laundry facilities and supplies are accessible to guests and located in the garage, as are beach items such as boogie boards and extra chairs, outdoor table umbrella, etc. This area is also perfect for storing empty coolers or hanging up sandy beach towels. There is also a new outdoor shower. Pet waste bag dispenser and bags provided at laundry entrance, we do respectfully ask that you clean up after your dog.

Triathlon weekend

The house was fantastic, immaculate, well decorated and peaceful neighborhood. Within a couple of miles of anything we wanted to get to. The hosts were amazing answering any questions posted on VRBO within minutes of asking and were very accommodating of changes related to our stay before we got there. We rented the place because it was dog friendly and at last minute we could not bring our dog and they immediately said the pet fee would be refunded even though it was last minute. When I got to the house they had healthy snacks on the counter, dog treats in a plastic bag in the dog bowl and water bottles and ice already in the refrigerator, I would absolutely go back to this house in the future.

Lovely Accommodation

We came to Galveston, two old friends (in our late seventies) to enjoy a couple of days of fishing. We wanted a place which would allow us to enjoy a couple of after-dinner cigars and cognac on the porch. As it turned out we never did smoke those cigars but it was nice to have had the opportunity to do so. Kelly, our host, has been extremely responsive and accommodating. This is a very comfortable house with lots of amenities.

We all had a great stay. The house was very nice and had both my kids and wife wanting to stay or go back soon. They thought of almost all of our needs in stocking home with the basics and made for a very comfortable stay.
