About this property

SunnyG Get Away - Private Pool - Walk to Pleasure Pier

Its Island Time at the SunnyG Get Away. You are right in the middle of everything with the Seawall and Pleasure Pier an easy walk 1 1/2 blocks away. Spend the day at the beach splashing in the water and building sandcastles on the beach. For a little shade, picnic under the pier - so easy. Take a walk on the Seawall and stroll over to Murdochs for a little shopping and rocking chair action.

Wet your appetite at Fish Tales, Bubba Gumps, Chick Fil A, BLVD Seafood, Fish Company Tacos or Wendys - all in walking distance. Catch a ride on the trolley down to the Strand or to Moody Gardens. The Cruise Terminal is right down the street. Children and teens will enjoy Menard Park with a playground, basketball and skate park also in walking distance.

The SunnyG Get Away is a 1912 grand ole house that is completely and beautifully updated and furnished. The 3/4 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath house sleeps 12. The three upstairs bedrooms include a master with a queen size bed and 1/2 bath attached. Another very large bedroom sleeps 4 on 2 queen beds. Also upstairs is a double bunk room that sleeps 4. These rooms share a full bath. The very large dining room downstairs houses a queen size Murphy bed. Big pocket doors give privacy and easy convenience to the full bath downstairs make this a good room to double as our 4th bedroom.

There is plenty of room to hang out with family and friends inside and out. Relax out on the big front porch and view all the great Galveston events that pass right down the street. We are right on the Mardi Gras parade route. Sit on the big front porch, watch the marching bands and floats go by and catch plenty of beads!

The best kept secret is the lovely entertaining space in the backyard complete with a garden pool and outdoor kitchen. The 4' deep pool has a tanning ledge and sitting ledge designed for socializing. Hang out and enjoy the water features and color changing light.

Let the chef in the group cook a family meal on the great outdoor kitchen while everyone relaxes under the covered pergola. (Propane provided)

Everything you need will be at your fingertips from a fully stocked kitchen to linens, bath and beach towels and beach and pool toys.

Parking is no problem here. We can accommodate 4-5 vehicles with parking in front of the house and in the driveway. Parking permits are provided for street parking.

Our family loves our old house with its original wood floors. We ask our guests to please honor this home by not leaving wet towels or ice chests on the wood. Don't have glass in the pool, pick up your trash, rinse off the sand before entering, rinse and put up beach toys, don't mess with the pool equipment, lock up the house when you leave - just treat it as your own home. We hope that many families will experience a great time at our home.

There is so much to do in Galveston. We are always discovering something new. With its great location and awesome amenities, the SunnyG Get Away can be your escape from the big city for some Sweet Island Time!

Precruise FUN

The Sunny G getaway was beautiful, historic feel with modern amenities! Comfortable sitting areas, plenty of room for everyone. The outside pool area was wonderful even though the water was too cold for us (haha)! We hope to stay again on our next long Galveston weekend get away!!

Best of Both Worlds

The house was amazing! Management/Denise was superfast with responses and the house was amazing inside and out! All the amenities were there for both the pool and beach if needed. Grill was fantastic, and everyone kept talking about the pool! The whole house was spacious and I could not get over how SOLID the floors, stairs and structure of the home was for a century old home... Just beautiful. Minutes away from the beach, shopping and restaurants. Walk out of the house, go right, you hit the beach, go left and you are just minutes away from the Strand by car. We have stayed at other locations on Galveston Island (Jamaica Beach), but this by far has been the best. We will be back!

What a great stay!!

Even though the location was perfectly nestled in a great area and close to the beach, we actually preferred to stay in the home. Between the beautifully aesthetic interior of the home and the sunny pool days we were in heaven. We had a wonderful time!

Great Family Vacation

We had the best stay! Everything was communicated so well that we never even had to reach out to the owners. We traveled with 2 young children and the pool size and layout was absolutely perfect. We easily walked down to the beach every morning with a stroller/wagon and were able to come back for lunch and a rest before heading back out again. We wouldn't have changed a thing. Thank you Denise and Jim for sharing your home!

Family making fun memories

Three generations of family gathering to create memories to cherish for a lifetime. We enjoyed sitting poolside while the children cooled off in the pool. Our host was very communicative and responsive when we had questions. We hope to return in the future.

A Wonderful Place to Stay!

We had a wonderful time at the Sunny G. Other than the rainy weather, everything was perfect. The house is in a great location and close to everything we wanted to do. It's furnished very well. Our favorite parts of the property is the fabulous front porch and the backyard pool. The host was extremely helpful during the reservation process and during our stay. We will definitely visit again!

Beautiful well built home wonderful owners!!

We survived hurricane Beryl in this house. We did not experience any flooding and we were well protected. Having the beautiful pool was a great relief since power was lost after the storm. Storm aside we enjoyed our stay in this house. It's walking distance to the beach, Pleasure Pier and lots of restaurants. The beds were super comfortable A/C worked great before we lost power. We had the pleasure of meeting Denise & Jim when they stopped by to check the damage from the storm. There was a water main break under the house that we were not aware of and they got it fixed ASAP. They are wonderful people and great hosts it was very nice meeting them. Highly recommend staying at this property.

Perfect home for Girls Weekend

SunnyG is a delightful home in a great location! We have 6 women that vacation in Galveston annually for a weekend of food and fellowship, and we love SunnyG. The layout for the rooms, the bonus bed on the first floor, the sitting area on the porch, the patio with the pergola - and of course the lovely pool all make for a relaxing, fun weekend. Thanks for allowing us the use of your little gem of a home - we'll be back!

Family trip at Sunny G

We had an amazing time in Galveston! The house was just as advertised, it contained everything we needed to make our stay incredible. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the beach! The pool/patio area was a great and relaxing way to spend family time. The owner was easily accessible and made sure we had all that was required.

Great place to stay

Great place to stay! The house is clean, well appointed and the beds comfortable. The backyard has a nice seating area under a pergola next to the pool. The pool was awesome as well. The front porch is a nice place to sit with a cup of coffee in the morning and watch Galveston wake up. It's a two block walk to pleasure pier, and the beach, so it was nicely located as well. We will stay there again for certain!

Beautiful historic home in the heart of the island

As a family, we love Galveston. This house is so beautiful with such lovely history right in the middle of all of the excitement. While the surrounding neighborhood has some areas that could cause safety concerns, the house feels very safe with cameras, a gait at the driveway, etc. Communication and check in with the host was seamless. We appreciate the attention they have given to this beautiful home so we could have a great family weekend away!

About the host

Hosted by Denise & Jim

Host profile image
As Air Force brats, moving to different cities was just a part of life. As a matter of fact, while I was born in Florida, Jim was born in California. When we were stationed in Hawaii, Jim's family was stationed in Alaska. Somehow we both landed in Biloxi, Mississippi and began our lives together. We love to vacation and have traveled many places around the world. What fun to experience the unique customs, local food, art, music, and the people. There is nothing better than discovering what makes a place so special.

Why they chose this property

Galveston has been the go-to place since the late 19th century. Experience its history, charm and relaxed way of life from the Historic Strand District to the beautiful beach front.

What makes this property unique

Soaking up all there is to do in Galveston is as easy as relaxing on the big front porch of our historic home. Take a dip in our pool. Refresh your body, relax your mind and reconnect with your family and friends all on Island Time!
