Reel close to the Beach - 2 blocks Pier/Beach

Why pay resort fees/parking and wait for what seems like hours for an elevator to stay in a condo, when you can have your very own beach house. We are centrally located to all the main attractions in Galveston and only 2 blocks from the Beach, Seawall Blvd and the Historic Pleasure Pier. You can hear the waves crashing from your front porch. All the great restaurants are within walking distance. Roll your beach wagon and boogie boards right from the front steps of your home to the beach.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Featured amenities include laundry facilities and an elevator.

We had an amazing stay. The house is very charming. The front door code wouldn't work when we first arrived but the owners were very fast to fix it. Pleasure Pier was a 5 min walk and that sure beat paying 15 to park. The AC works great and the front deck is a great upgrade. Would definitely rent again.

Cozy beach cottage

We stayed here for a long weekend and enjoyed the beach. It was as just a short walk and super convenient to get the Pleasure Pier area by foot and not have to worry about parking. The house was cute with everything we needed. Host tried to let us check in early but we didn’t end up needing to. Would book again!

Overall okay

Overall the stay was okay, I had let the owners know we would be checking in late but I never received the check in information and they had said they would be sending it in the morning. Never received instructions so I had to text super late that evening. Then when we arrived we were not told the off street parking was super small we managed to fit but a heads up would be have great. It was freezing in the home, so had to figure out where heaters were or if they worked. The stove/oven wasn't working and the fridge was off and warm. When I texted the owners I did tell them not to worry about it but still frustrating when you come with food.As for location to pier it was great. There were issues on the street that the house was located on but that isn't something the owners can control. Overall it fit for our little family but not what we had in mind from the pictures.

perfect for us

My husband and I loved staying at this adorable little home with our dog! Chill beachy decor, front porch, and small fenced yard filled with tropical plants were all perfect for us. Great location with short walk to the beach and longer but very doable walk to the strand! We were a little thrown off by a delayed checkin time and had to improvise a bit, but the owner was in frequent communication and all turned out fine. We really enjoy Galveston and had a lovely stay here! Thanks!

Cute & Quirky Galveston

Good location in a quiet neighborhood, close to seawall and strand attractions. I enjoyed the small front porch with picnic table (bring mosquito repellant). Good water pressure and plenty of towel hooks, but no shelf space, in the bathroom. The ceiling fan/light operation was confusing - switches, remotes & pull strings. We were there in early December when you don't really need air conditioning or heat but a good fan is wonderful, so we probably adjusted it more than usual. The reason I put 4 instead of 5 stars for cleanliness was the kitchen - I had to clean the coffee pot and toaster before use and there were some bugs around the dishwasher. Overall, for beach accommodations this was good - fun decorations, plenty of space and easy to come and go from.
