About this property
The Seahorse Apt - Lakeside and 2 blocks to the Beach
The Seahorse is a new non-smoking 1/1, 400sqft apartment with 10ft ceilings located across the street from Lake Madeline. The apt. is located on the first floor of our home with its own private entrance along with 2 private decks overlooking the lake. Guests have use of our pool and our grounds, Koi pond, and green-house. The apt has everything you may need to enjoy your stay with us.
In the apartment's little kitchen, you will find everything you may need to prepare a meal. We offer a stovetop for cooking. But instead of an oven, we offer a combination microwave that is a microwave/convection oven and air fryer. It does a great job preparing your food. You will find cooking instructions next to the microwave. There is plenty of dishes and cooking utensils for your use.
There will be a couple of steps up into the bathroom area.
The TV does have basic cable. You can get regular channels and also login into Netflix and other movie networks with your sign-ins.
The Seahorse is located just 2 blocks from the Seawall and everything in Galveston. Guests can sit on the deck and watch the lake and enjoy the peace and quiet of the wonderful neighborhood, and possibly see the dolphins living in the lake. The pool area has 3 decks around the pool with 1, the main deck is fully covered. We are across the lake from Moody Gardens and Schlitterbahn water park. The Pleasure Pier is also just over 2 miles away. And minutes to all types of restaurants, bars, and grills. We are 4 miles from the Strand/Port area of downtown.
We the Owners, Woody and Richard live on the property on the upper 2 floors of the home. We have been hosting guests at our other properties since 2001. We've been told we have a wonderfully relaxing location here and we should share it with guests. We plan to only mingle with guests at the pool area or on any of our other upper decks around the home. Woody is an excellent gardener and keeper of his Orchid greenhouse. Guests are free to roam the 1/2 acre property. There is a cat named Missy-ann and our Boston Terrier named Spotallen on the property. Along with our 8 Koi fish and chickens. Yes, chickens, are located at the far end of the pool. You won't really know they are there unless you hear them or look for them.

About the host
Hosted by Ross and Richard
We have lived in Galveston since 2007 but had properties here since 2001. We decided to offer a private apt in the lower part of our house. Friends have said we have a wonderful property and should share it with guests. So we are. We've created and cozy apt for guests and we hope you all will enjoy it.
