About this property

Historic Anchor at M | Sleeps 7 • Outdoor Shower • Mins to Beach & Moody Gardens

Welcome to Historic Anchor at M — a beautifully renovated ground-floor studio in the heart of Galveston's historic district. This is your exclusive unit: the lower rear studio of a charming historic triplex, sleeping up to 7 guests across 2 queen beds, a full bed, and a trundle twin, with 2 private bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, in-unit laundry, outdoor shower, and an on-site EV charger.

THE SPACE — LIVING AREA & KITCHEN
Step inside and you're immediately at home. The open studio layout wraps living, dining, and kitchen into one comfortable space. The galley kitchen has all-new stainless steel appliances, a Keurig (K-cups included so your first morning is covered), a toaster, and full cookware for cooking in. The large smart TV is Wi-Fi connected for streaming.

THE SPACE — SLEEPING & BATHROOMS
Two queen beds and a full bed with a trundle twin underneath occupy the dedicated sleeping area of the studio. The trundle slides out for the 7th guest. Two bathrooms keep the morning routine moving: a full bath with a brand-new stand-up shower, plus a half bath. Fresh linens and towels provided.

BED BREAKDOWN
• Queen bed (sleeping area)
• Queen bed (sleeping area)
• Full bed (sleeping area) — trundle twin pulls out from underneath for a 7th guest

THE SPACE — OUTSIDE
The shared backyard has lounge chairs and lush greenery — your evening decompression zone. The outdoor shower directly outside the unit handles the sand before you come back inside. Full-size in-unit washer and dryer available.

LOCATION
In Galveston's historic district — Moody Gardens is 4 minutes away, Schlitterbahn 3 minutes, and beach access 2 minutes. Galveston is a barrier island 50 miles south of Houston via I-45 South, approximately 50–60 minutes in normal traffic. Plan for heavier traffic on Friday afternoons and Sunday evenings.

About the host

Hosted by Owner

Host profile image
Galveston Island transplant — and proud of it. I take great care of every property and treat each booking the way I'd want to be treated as a traveler: spotless space, honest listing, fast communication, and a genuine welcome. This island gets under your skin, and I love sharing it with guests who are discovering it for the first time or coming back for more.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property because of its address. 1703 Avenue M sits in one of Galveston's most storied blocks, and the lower unit had bones that deserved better. After a full renovation in 2021 — all-new appliances, stand-up shower, and modern finishes throughout — it became something genuinely rare: a studio in the historic district that comfortably sleeps 7, is steps from two major attractions, and still feels like a real home rather than a generic rental.

What guests tell us most often is that the location surprises them. They expected beach convenience and got all of that — plus Moody Gardens four minutes away and Schlitterbahn three. That combination is hard to find anywhere else on the island.

— Rest & Enjoy Vacation Rentals

What makes this property unique

• Rare dual proximity — Moody Gardens AND Schlitterbahn both under 4 minutes; few Galveston rentals are this close to both
• Beach access in 2 minutes — multiple access points a short drive in any direction
• Historic district address — 1703 Avenue M places you in the heart of Galveston's architectural legacy
• Outdoor shower — a post-beach essential most studios don't offer
• Sleeps 7 comfortably — 2 queens, a full bed, and a trundle twin; everyone gets a real bed
• EV charger on-site — plug in while you stay
• Renovated 2021 — all-new appliances, stand-up shower, and modern finishes throughout
• Part of the Rest & Enjoy Vacation Rentals collection — locally hosted, personally maintained
