Nestled in the vibrant city center of Galveston, this light-filled home brings coastal living to your front door! Amidst the palms, explore the city's very best while visiting the Galveston Railroad Museum, The Grand 1894 Opera House, Galveston Island Historic Pleasure Pier, Moody Gardens, Magic Carpet Golf, and Galveston Island State Park. On days that you don't want to go too far, simply enjoy the sunshine and good company from the comfort of the home's deck, furnished with Adirondack chairs.
Inside, the open interior displays the perfect mix of modern convenience and tropical charm. The living room's soft sofa and smart TV pair excellently for movie viewing. The adjacent full kitchen radiantly gleams with its granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. After enjoying a delicious meal, head for the Air Hockey table for hours of playful competition.
Gorgeously decorated, the primary bedroom boasts gold finishes, soft furnishings, and an ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower. The additional four bedrooms are just as impressive, all complete with high-quality linens and nautical-inspired color palettes. The interior amenities extend to a private washer/dryer, central air-conditioning, and internet access.
End another evening in paradise outside, firing up the gas grill for a cookout, and letting the furry members of your family stretch their legs in the enclosed yard.

Beautiful house! Needs a dining table for a large party of 16. Quiet neighborhood, can see the cruise ships from the house. We enjoyed our stay.

The family had a great time visiting and playing on the beach, riding the ferry, and Moody gardens. The house was perfect fit for us. Love the back yard.

This house was absolutely perfect. Great amenities and close enough to the beach and boardwalk.
10.0 / 10.0
We loved our stay here. It was perfect for our family vacation. There were 13 of us and we all had enough space. The location of the house is great, it was close to everything we wanted to do. The kids loved the air hockey table. It was nice to have the backyard fenced in so the kids could play outside. We would stay here again.
8.0 / 10.0
The house was great. The only complaint was the shower in the downstairs bathroom had no water pressure and the bathtub had only hot water no cold. The house was clean and spacious. We had 9 adults and a toddler. Everyone had plenty of room. Location was perfect for the Mardi Gras weekend. Close to all the festivities.
Would definitely stay here again.

We spent this past weekend at this home for an Ironman event. We had friends stay with us and enjoyed the weekend. The place was open and clean. Within walking distance many shopping areas like the Stand and to restauraunts. We have enjoyed staying on Vacasa properties the last couple of visits.

The air hockey table and fenced in backyard.
10.0 / 10.0
Pros:
- Comfortably fit a large group there were lots of beds
- 3 full bathrooms made it easy for multiple people to get ready at the same time
- The home was well furbished and decorated.
- Walking distance away from the strand with lots of restaurants and bars
Cons:
- The shower head in the master bedroom definitely needs to be replaced. It wasn’t usable with the amount of water that was coming out.
- We tried to cook dinner at the house one night and even brought some of our own kitchen stuff but had to make trips to the store to get more necessities because there isn’t too much cookware provided.
- There’s a large cruise parking lot directly across the street and very active with cruise goers parking there in the mornings.
- The beds were all very firm but that’s a personal preference.

Came in with family to enjoy Moody Gardens. Beautiful property with plenty of room. Beds super comfortable and home was spotless! The ice hockey table kept the teenagers and adults in competition! Would definitely stay here again if ever back this way.
10.0 / 10.0
The house was exactly as pictured. Clean, beautifully decorated, well stocked and exceptionally convenient to The Strand District and port terminal.
10.0 / 10.0
We had a group of 11 girl family members get together for Dickens on the Strand. Our original rental canceled on us two days out and we were lucky enough to find this rental. Everything was brand new and very clean. There was plenty of beds and room for everyone to sleep. The air hockey table was fun. There wasn’t a whole lot of dining/living room for hanging out together in the house, but if the weather had been better, we wouldn’t have been there for much more than sleeping. We were walking distance to the Strand and got around easily to the main Galveston attractions. We had a great time. Highly recommend this place if you plan to be out more than in!
