About this property

Newly Renovated Historical Galveston Home - 8 min walk to beach!

Being less than 10 blocks to a relaxing beach in multiple directions, this newly renovated home located in the Galveston Historic Lost Bayou District and will be perfect for beach enthusiasts and those looking to seek out the activities in Galveston.

THE SPACE – LIVING ROOM / KITCHEN & DINING:

Walking into this 2-bedroom home, you'll be greeted by a very comfortable living area with plenty of seating and light for your family to gather. Sink into the leather couch after a long day or watch the hottest game on the included smart tv!

Adjacent to the living room, there's a splendid dining area and full kitchen that has all the stainless-steel appliances one could ask for including a full refrigerator, oven, microwave, dishwasher, and stove, as well as a Keurig for those mornings when you need a boost. We’ve also included some k-cups so that you don’t have to run out for them your first day. Here you’ll additionally find an outside porch and stairwell that leads you to the captivating back yard.

Past the kitchen is the full bathroom, half bathroom, and bedrooms.

THE SPACE – BEDROOMS, BATHROOMS

The master bedroom includes one queen poster bed with a view of the backyard, along with a ceiling fan to keep you cool and relaxed. There’s even an extra chair for those times you’d want to steal away in a good book. The second bedroom provides two queen size beds for extra guests to spread out. There’s plenty of natural light in here too as well as a nice-sized closet to hide add any clothes or extra belongings to. No need to bring linens either, we have you covered on that.

There is a full and half bath accessible in this home, so you have ample space to get ready for your days. The full bath includes a lovely renovated stand-up shower too so that you can wash the day away. We’ve also included a full-size washer and dryer so you can lighten your suitcase too!

THE SPACE – OUTSIDE

You will also have access to all areas of the outside of the property where there is extra seating and a small yard to relax in. Don't forget the outside shower for that pesky sand that came back with you from the beach🙂

We also provide an EV charger plugin for vehicles that need a quick charge!

There’s also a nice porch in the front for extra space to have that morning coffee.

Whether you want to enjoy your time the night before you depart for a cruise at the Galveston Cruise Terminal (twenty minutes away), enjoy a day at the beach (less than 5 minutes away), take the family over to Moody Gardens or Schlitterbahn (less than five minutes away), or just hang out at home, this location is the place to be!

Great area and neighborhood

Great location to beach, restaurants, Strand, and Seawall. Easy to find. Loved the neighborhood . Very quiet. Easy to access with instructions from host. Very well equipped with kitchen and Keurig coffee and pods .Had plenty of towels but only one wash cloth for two people for 4 days. Ceiling fan and light have only one wall switch. So if you wanted fan at night you had to stand in bed to switch light off. Rooms were large and beds were comfortable. Only one closet in one of the bedrooms. Air was cold from ac, which was niceParking was on the street but seemed ok. Front porch was nice in mornings and evenings.porch is shared with other tenants.

Great Family Vacation Spot

We had a wonderful weekend before heading out for a big family cruise over Labor Day weekend! The accommodations were clean, we had everything we needed, and the owners were kind enough to inform us of some local events happening over the weekend. The location was great- we absolutely loved Shykats Diner for breakfast, and it was a very short walk for us to get there! Highly recommend!

Great place to stay

The house and accommodations were exactly as advertised and my wife and I had an amazing time during our stay. All of our questions were answered swiftly and the overall customer service was top notch. I would 100% recommend Rest & Enjoy Vacation Rentals to anyone interested in finding a great place to stay while on vacation. Thank you.

Galveston stay

The location was great, house was pretty, and the bedrooms were a generous size, and the neighborhood was quiet. Cleanliness could have been better - several clumps of dog hair, primary bedroom should have better lighting (you have to stand on the bed to reach the very short chain on the ceiling fan) and only K-cups of coffee available.

Collecting our Aggies

We have two students at Texas A&M Galveston and this was our first chance to meet them in Galveston around the holidays. We decided on a VRBO vice hotel to save money and we were not disappointed. The house was clean had all the amenities and was easy enough to find. Our only small issues that will not prevent us from using this property again was no counter space in the bathrooms and the windows were a little loose in their frames so when the wind blew the windows rattled.

Awesome Property

I've stayed in many vacation homes and noticed that hosts no longer provide small items such as shampoo,laundry powder, etc. Not this property!!! They thought of everything and it was such a convenience. The property is just as pictured, clean,beautiful and well put together. We usually stay in hotels in Galveston but this property now has a returning client. Also, it's very close to the beach and there's a golf cart rental shop 10 minutes walk away.
