About the host
Hosted by Rhonda Brown
My Husband and I came down to Houston in 2005. We are originally from Kentucky. We fell in love with Galveston many years ago, while visiting. Of course, as soon as we moved to Houston, we made a "bee-line" to Galveston! We first became week-enders; and now live in Galveston!
Why they chose this property
We became week-enders down from Houston in 2006. We fell in love with this little house for it's 1900 charm. We went into the back yard and saw the beautiful sitting area under the giant oak trees and were SOLD….we have had many wonderful times here, with family and friends! Our Little House is in the quiet San Jacinto neighborhood on the desirable East End of Galveston. We are 3 blocks from the beach, and close to private Paretto Beach.
What makes this property unique
Large, private outdoor sitting area with OFF-STREET parking. Washer/dryer. Walking distance to restaurants and bars and beach! WE WELCOME SNOW BIRDS. Contact me for off-season rates: December, January, February (Mardi Gras) and March. i have added special rates for September and October for monthly rentals. Please choose at least 31 days to avoid hotel taxes.
