First Time in Galveston
We planned an impromptu trip to Galveston and saw this house on VRBO. It is a gorgeous cute home. The location block and a half from ocean as well as amenities, backyard, front porch,beds eveything was great. The owners were wonderful hosts and we couldn't have found a better place. Thank you for making it an unforgettable trip.

Beach House Getaway
Lovely location and plenty of commodities to help us enjoy our stay. The wagon full of beach toys was a great bonus, and we spent a good amount of time in the evenings hanging out in the back garden. Would love to visit again someday.

The perfect beach getaway!
I was here racing Ironman Texas 70.3 and this property/location couldn't have been more perfect! Everything was organized, labeled, fully stocked and clean! Ron and Carol were quick to respond to any questions we had and so sweet! I wish I could have stayed longer but this is definitely a place I would return to for my next Galveston trip! Loved it!!!

Beautiful Beach Escape
This has been one of the best stays we've had. The house is beautiful and very well maintained. Every little detail has been considered. The amenities are fantastic. It's close to the beach, the Galveston pier, a community center, and a small convenient store. We will DEFINITELY stay here again when we're back in Galveston!

Cute house
Our stay was very pleasant, furniture comfy and decor is fun! Managers have generously supplied anything we needed. Fenced backyard is private and nicely furnished. The outdoor shower was great for our dog that loves swimming.

About the host

Hosted by Carol and Ron Chavez

Host profile image
We came to Galveston in 2016 for a vacation and fell in love with this beautiful island and the feel of "life on a Sand Bar". We were blessed to be able to purchase this beautiful cottage in 2016. We are grandparents to 5 wonderful grandchildren. We both love living life and relaxing on the island. We love our beautiful beach home and this neighborhood, and we hope you will as well.
We are retired, live close and are always available if the need arises.

Why they chose this property

Once you drive up, you'll be thrilled that you chose our home for your vacation. It is the cutest yellow cottage with tropical landscaping including Hibiscus bushes, Mexican Fan Palms and a Butterfly Bush. There is sidewalk from the curb all the way to the front porch. The neighborhood is quiet, friendly and right in the middle of Seawall Blvd. The home is only 1 short block to the Seawall and the beach. Another wonderful treat is, walking to the beach to watch the sunrise. It's one of our favorite highlights! You can also take your fur babies with you to the beach in the early morning and roam the quiet and serene beach to look for shells or just enjoy the beauty. "The Spot” is also only 1 block from our home and is a fun place to hang out. There is a restaurant, Tiki Bar, three more themed venues, bakery, ice cream parlor (with local "Hey Mikie's" ice cream) and live music (seasonally in The Rum Shack). You can leave your car at the home and walk. Pleasure Pier is a short walk of 7/10th of a mile. There are amusement park rides as well as shopping and Bubba Gump's Seafood and Shrimp Co and Fish Tales across the Street. We also found a delicious Bar B Q place named Queen's within easy walking distance-35th and Ave S. Inside our beach cottage, you'll find an open concept, colorful beach theme and updated 1913 cottage with original wood floors. The high ceilings add to the open feel of our home. The colorful beach decor is throughout and helps you realize you are on vacation at the beach. All linens are included as well as all towels-toiletries, a flat iron, curling iron and a hair dryer. We provide extra pillows and blankets. We have a gas fire pit in the backyard conversation area. This is in addition to the gas grill in the backyard, and the conversation area with seating for 5 with 4 extra chairs at the picnic table. The landscaping is beautiful in the summer when the Hibiscus are in full bloom.

What makes this property unique

One of our favorite parts of this home is the large front porch. There is nothing better than sitting on the front porch and feeling the breezes from the Gulf. In the mornings, you can hear the waves as you enjoy morning coffee! You can also hear the waves in the evening from the front porch. If the front porch wasn't enough, the backyard is another awesome feature of our home. Sitting in the conversation area and grilling on the propane grill are wonderful ways to end your day at the beach. There is mood lighting on the fence which completes the ambiance. The home has a complete privacy fenced backyard as well as the side yards. Plenty of room for children and/or dogs to safely roam and play. There is also an outdoor shower with a sprayer. You will feel like you are in a sanctuary!
