It is a wonderfully decorated, beachfront, studio condo with an unobstructed view of the Gulf of Mexico. You will be able to enjoy this wonderful view while sitting in 2 tall high-back chairs, so as to see over the railing, with a table in the middle. Enjoy your morning coffee or evening wine or drink while watching the waves crash right in front of you. The beach is just a few steps away, across the private footbridge and over the dunes.

In the large room, you will find a loveseat and smart TV.

You will also find a very nice Queen-size bed with a comfy Tempurpedic mattress.

In the remodeled Bath, you will find a wonderful walk-in shower with custom tile. There is a little step up into the shower with a gripping handle next to the entrance.

Perfect Weekend Getaway

We had a wonderful stay at Lisa's property. It was exactly as described and then some. It was perfect for a quiet weekend getaway for two. We loved sitting on the balcony and enjoying the ocean views! It was great to be away from the hustle and bustle of downtown but a very reasonable drive to enjoy the restaurants and sites. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect

Aside from ridiculous fee amounts (which might have nothing to do with condo owner) this condo was perfect for my daughter and I. I absolutely love this property. Loved waking up to the ocean every morning of our week stay. Very responsive owner when issues arose!

Spring Break Getaway

We loved staying at Anchors Away! This was the first time visiting Galveston for a mother daughter spring break getaway. We loved how comfortable the condo was, it was the perfect size for two people. The bed was extremely comfortable, which is super important to us and the couch as well to relax after a busy day of sightseeing. But hands down our favorite thing about Anchors Away was the gorgeous ocean view from our balcony and being able to hear the ocean. Also, not having to purchase bottled water, toilet paper, paper towels, liquid dish soap, trash bags and having shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and liquid hand soap was amazing. All of these extras were provided and made packing easy!! We’ve stayed at many condos, and this is generally not the case so a definite A+! The building is very quiet, clean and the property offers lots of outdoor games for families and the heated pool was also fabulous. Beach access was super close and we felt like we had the beach to ourselves. Also, amazing that beach towels, two beach chairs, and an umbrella were also provided in the condo! We hope to return again and Anchors Away will be our first choice! Thank you Lisa for an amazing spring break vacation!! Tiffiny & Charis Smith Lake Dallas, TX

The Short Beach Escape We Needed

We are from the DFW area and I had a conference in Houston from Wednesday-Friday. My husband and I decided to extend our southern stay by going to Galveston-one of our favorite places. I found this condo on VRBO and booked it since we have always enjoyed our previous stays at Islander East. The condo was clean and just what we wanted/needed. The owner was also very kind and accommodating. I would not hesitate to stay here again!

Best Experience

This was a last minute weekend getaway for my wife and I. The host could not be more accommodating. She went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful. The studio was very clean and had everything needed to make our stay relaxing. We make this trip several times a year and we will check for this condo first.

Beach Getaway

The property was lovely. We enjoyed staying at Anchors Away so much. The place was clean and comfortable. The owners had everything we needed available to us in the room. Sunrise was visible from the balcony which was an exceptional bonus. The grasses over the dunes were such a pleasure to watch rippling in the wind with the beach just behind them. It was a terrific getaway for us and we look forward to staying there again.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Spinks is the owner/manager of the property. Richard D is a co-manager.

Host profile image
We have enjoyed visiting Galveston for many years, but we never ventured over to East Beach. After some friends had us over to visit, in this same complex, we decided that we had discovered the best part of the island. It's quiet, and a bit more secluded here, which we love.

Why they chose this property

We love this property because it's the perfect size for two people. We spend most of our time on the balcony enjoying the breeze, the sound of the water, and sometimes a cocktail, or a glass of wine.

What makes this property unique

Our little property has an unobstructed view of the Gulf. There are no busy streets to cross in order to get to the beach. It's right there!
