About Yolanda

We have lived along the Texas Gulf Coast for over 25 years. We have seen Galveston grow into an exciting and beautiful resort city with a small home town culture! We enjoy walking along the beach especially early mornings and late evenings - watching the sun rise and the moon's radiant glow on the waves.

Yolanda purchased this townhome in 2008
Why Yolanda chose Galveston

We found the location great being that it is just a few steps from the beach!! The area is quiet and has a small town atmosphere. The grocery story next door is great for just purchasing ice cream or picking up steaks!

Amazing!

Submitted: March 25, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
This beach rental is amazing and made traveling with two young kids a breeze! Beach is steps away and all the beach toys are provided! Just bring your beach clothes are you are set. Thanks again! We hope to be back. The only thing they could not help us with was that we had to go back to Kansas - with 8 inches of snow on the ground. Beach living cannot last forever.. or can it? :)

Thanks again!
Ryan, Emily and family
Owner's Response: Thank you for the wonderful guest review!! The easy access to the beach along with the balcony view and sounds of the ocean are indeed amazing! Docs Quarters is always happy to share our Galveston beaches with the people of Kansas!

Lovely WestEnd Retreat

5 of 5
Submitted: March 4, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
The house had ample space and was quite charming. I had the house full of girls and we all had a great time. I liked that the living room was on the top floor so we could look out and see the water. The house had everything we needed. I loved that it was on the west end away from the busy part of the island, we did feel like we got away even though we were only 45 minutes from our house. And it was great having the cute little store conveniently close by. Would definitely rent again!

Owner's Response: Thank you Kerrie for choosing our 3 bedroom beach home! It is located in a great part of Galveston Island. The area has a small town feeling but when you want to join the city life, it is only about a 20 - 30 minute drive into the Strand and a 15 minute drive to Moody Gardens. We hope you visit us again for another all ladies retreat!

We loved being in close walking distance to the beach. No streets to try and cross. The beach is clean and beautiful. The house layout was great with 3 full bathrooms one on the main floor with the living and kitchen area. The bedrooms were all on the same floor for listening for our little ones. This condo is decorated with beautiful sea shells and comfortable terraces on the 2 and 3rd floor. The view of the beach was not the best but we enjoyed the wonderful electric fireplace. Plenty of room for our 4 adults and 2 small children to play inside and out. The shower outside was wonderful and warm to rinse off the sand from our sand castle building! The market is a short walk and easy access. Yolanda was wonderful in getting back to us quickly and efficiently. Thank you for the opportunity to enjoy your home.

Owner's Response: Hi Sandra,

Thanks for choosing our beach home! I am glad you and your family loved the proximity to the beach and the outside shower with warm water to wash away the sandcastle remnants. We try very hard to provide a great refuge from everyday city living.

Christmas 2012 at Doc's Quarters
5 of 5
Submitted: January 14, 2013 Stayed: December 2012
This was our second Christmas spent at Doc's Quarters...it was even more awesome than our first holiday there. Yolanda is the perfect hostess making the entire rental process a breeze. Doc's Quarters is charming and cozy - its kitchen is well stocked with cooking equipment and the beds are so comfy. It is close to the beach and also conveniently located near a little grocery that has anything you could need. We love that its locale is far enough away from city proper to be quiet yet close enough to drive into town in for a quick lunch or movie.

We recommend Doc's Quarters...as long as you don't book it for Christmas!

Thank you again for choosing to spend Christmas at our beach home with your family! I hope it becomes a family tradition with memories to last a lifetime. I also want to thank you for taking the time to write a great guest review. We hope the year 2013 will be fantastic for you and your family!

A MUST STAY! THE FINEST TOWNHOUSE ON GALVESTON ISLAND BY FAR!

5 of 5
Submitted: November 11, 2012 Stayed: November 2012
Doc's Quarters is a first class destination. It has the best location and amenities of any place on the island. The townhouse was nicely decorated and well equipped. The photos do not do the townhouse justice. The views were amazing from the balcony, the bedrooms and living area. The townhouse gave us the perfect place to relax in a quality, comfortable home away from home setting. Communications with the owners was seamless and they were a pleasure to work with! If you are looking for the perfect get a way place on Galveston you should stay here! We will for sure be going back there and we highly recommend their townhouse to all our family and friends. It is the best place on Galveston Island!
