Banana Bay is AWESOME!

Hands down one of my favorite stays in Galveston. The location can not be beat - and the apartment is WONDERFUL. So beautifully decorated, and outfitted perfectly with everything you need to be comfortable. WAY better than most hotel rooms. Emily was super nice and accommodating. This property has been bookmarked for future visits!

Galveston get away

This property was fabulous! Exactly as represented online. We were able to walk to many restaurants and shops and only got back into the car to go to the beach. Check in was a breeze and communication with the owner was super quick! Would definitely stay again.

Fell in love!

My husband and I had a quick overnight stay celebrating our anniversary. We fell in love with Emily’s on the Island. Banana Bay was so dreamy and just perfect for our quick trip. It was nice to park and walk to all favorite restaurants and bars. Can’t wait to go back and stay in The Pink Room!

Close walk to the Strand

Stayed her for our first visit to Galveston. Great location that was easy walking distance to the Strand. Location was super clean & we really enjoyed the decor. Attention to detail was placed in usability for the space and it was a great home base for our exploration of the city. Emily was a great host and answered lots of questions for us about places to eat & visit. We’ll book here again for sure our next trip.
