Galveston is an island 33 miles long, just off the coast of Texas. The island is tropical and warm most of the year with the beaches being the main draw, and a fantastic preservation of history a close second.
Family attractions include Moody Gardens, Schlitterbahn, historical sites including 'The Strand' (which is a shoppers heaven) and turn of the century historical landmark homes, golf courses, and a long calming seawall walkway great for strolling, biking, jogging, and fishing.
The house is located in Pirates Beach. Which is 8 miles west of Galveston. The beaches are NOT drivable so it makes it very safe for families to sit back, relax and enjoy the ocean.
