About this property

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.

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.

We had so much fun , house was so cute and comfortable. We loved being at the beach and the fact that it’s only a short walk from the house made it amazing. Would love to stay here again in the future.

The house itself could use some updates and there were some minor things that didn't work. Overall it's a nice house with a great location. The property owner was very quick to respond with any questions. I would for sure recommend it to a friend.

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!

Très jolie maison

Nous avons passé un très bon week-end sur Gavelston. La maison est très fonctionnelle, très joliment décorée (mention spéciale de notre fille qui ADORE la décoration), très bien équipée (lave et sèche-linge, grille-pain, machine à café K-cup avec des dosettes,…). La maison est proche de la plage surveillée (5-6 minutes à pied) et d’un ponton d’attraction (manège avec roller-coster,…). Plusieurs state park à proximité dont celui de Brazos. Parking sur place dans l’allée. Et si malgré tout vous voulez rester à la maison (c’est vrai qu’on s’y sent vraiment chez soi) il y a à disposition Netflix, Disney Channel,… Les check-in et out sont simples. Les échanges avec les propriétaires très sympathiques. Bref si nous devions revenir à Gavelston nous n’hésiterions pas.

very enjoyable and close to the beach

Loved this place. It was conveniently located near every place we needed to go. Very close walk to the seawall and pleasure pier. Each morning we went out for a run along the seawall. The property owner was very responsive to messages/questions.

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.

You owe it to yourself to check out this property. The owners are phenomenal and were extremely attentive. I enjoyed meeting some of the neighbors who welcomed me and my pets. The only negative I have regarding the whole trip related to the weather. This is the ideal location for a beach getaway.
