Photos and Description of the Galveston vacation townhome rental
3 Bedrooms, 3 Bathrooms, Sleeps 10-12

Come to a relaxing respite in Galveston overlooking the Gulf of Mexico.1400 Sq.ft. of living area. Situated in a community of private homes, this is a 3 bedroom townhouse with 3 full bathrooms. The living room is spacious with a flat screen TV/blue ray player. Open to the dining room and kitchen, it's perfect for your family get together. It's a short walk to the beach and close enough to walk to Nate's Seafood and Steak House Restaurant. There are decks off both the living and bedroom levels, to spend relaxing evenings after sightseeing or playing in the surf.

Fully equipped, from high speed Internet to a beach umbrella. Tropical Isle has everything you need for a great vacation at the beach. The ground level has a lockable storage shed to house outdoor equipment including charcoal and gas grills, beach chairs, kids' beach toys, and boogie boards. On ground level there is also a porch swing, picnic table, and outdoor shower. Please check our calendar for availability for this very popular rental.

Tropical Isle has a unique floor plan, meaning the living area is on the top floor. While relaxing in the A/C on a large comfortable sofa guests can watch the waves rolling onto the beach. Watch others enjoying flying a kite, walking their dog or others walking hand in hand. The beach is fairly quiet because we are behind 2 rows of private homes and away from the busy hotels.

Seven Seas Market being close by is a fabulous amenity! If you are making the special family dinner and forgot an ingredient, just take a short walk to the market.

The bedrooms are on the first floor to accommodate weary tourist at the end of the day. Cleanliness is are a must here. Our beds are made up with colorful tropical sheets and extra pillows

while watching TV or a DVD at the end of the day.

I love spending time at this Townhome. The beach is real serenity, yet across the street is farmland where I have watched 2 baby steers chasing each other in a game of catch me if you can. Growing up on a farm as I did, it was a sweet treat from the past.

Across the road is a business that rents golf carts and kayaks. Galveston State Park on the bay side has a super

tour of the wetlands by kayak. On the beach side Galveston State Park has an hour tour on the weekend mornings

explaining what little creatures live in the sand.

The new Galveston Pier Amusement park opened in 2012. Look on Galveston.com to view upcoming attraction. June is the month of the yearly sand castle building contest on the beach. I cannot leave out Moody Gardens, the Historical Homes Tour in the summer. There is a sea camp for kids through the Coast Guard. There is much to see and do in Galveston! I have lived in a lot of different places but TEXAS IS BEST, and the most friendly place I have lived.

Galveston now has a Level 1 trauma center at the UTMB Hospital on the Island.

Great Vacation not once but twice!

5 of 5
Submitted: July 10, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
We are lucky enough to rent Paradise Isle two times within months of each other.
The first time was back in March 2012 when my son and his family, from Virginia, came to visit us here in Texas to celebrate our grandson Tristan's 7th birthday. We did not know what to expect when we arrived at Paradise Isle. But once we walked through the doors we knew that we would be happy and comfortable staying here. Nancy and her husband Brian were such gracious hosts and made sure we had everything we needed. We didn't get to meet Brian on the first go around, but we did meet him on June 30th when we rented the unit again, this time with our youngest son, his wife and our grandson, Wyatt who celebrated his 1st Birthday. Once again we were very pleased in staying here. All the comforts of home are made available to you..all you need is your clothes and food. For those of you who are looking for a place to rent, this is the place to be! You will not be disappointed. Thanks Nancy and Brian for your gracious hospitality! The Apgar's from Flower Mound, TX
Owner's Response: Thank you so much for your great review. It was grand to meet all of your family and the new grandchild. I am in awe of large families since ours is small. Hope to see you again, maybe for another family birthday. Take care and enjoy the coming Holidays. Nancy

Best Vacation Spot in Galveston

5 of 5
Submitted: July 6, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
This is the best vacaton spot in Galveston. This was my 3rd year in a row staying here. Me and my wife have 4 kids and the other couple that went with us has 3 kids. We even took our daughters best friend. 4 adults and 8 kids from ages 7 -17yrs and still there was plenty of room. We have stayed in 3 other locations and none compare. What we love so much about this location is that we only bring our clothes from home. Everything else is there from the coolers to the grill to the boogie boards. I highly recommend this place if you want a real vacation. The owner is so nice and they make sure you have what you need. This wil be the only place my family stays when we come to Galveston.

Owner's Response: Dear Brady & Crystal, I apologize for not responding to your gracious review sooner. It was a busy busy summer. I am back at home and catching up now. We will be waiting for you next summer and your inlaws also have booked for 2013.

Very Nice Vacation

5 of 5
Submitted: June 28, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
My sister and I rented this house with our husbands and a total of six children under the age of nine. We were more than pleased with the property as well as the owners. We arrived at the house an hour early just to make sure we would be able to find it. The house was very easy to find and in a great location. The owners were there getting it ready since we arrived so early and they were very friendly. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. The only thing we had to bring was beach towels, clothes, and food to cook. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook with as well as spices. The store room on the lower level had everything you needed for the beach also which was the kids favorite part. There were chairs, boogie boards, umbrellas, ice chest, stuff to build sand castles, and more. Overall, our stay was more than we expected. We enjoyed the privacy of the location with the convenience of having a store directly next store. Our kids enjoyed their first trip to the ocean and asked when we would be returning. I definitely plan on renting the house again. We could not have asked for better owners to rent from! Highly recommended!!
