About the host
Hosted by Jackie
We have twin boys that keep us super busy with school, baseball and all the fun things boys like to do. We love to visit Galveston and see all it has to offer and/or even just relax and walk the beach.
Why they chose this property
This home was built Circa 1905 and has been completely remodeled. You'll enjoy old world charm along with the new construction and conveniences. From the high ceilings to the open and spacious kitchen and wonderful relaxing backyard patio as well. You will love it here! The location is the very best- close to Seawall, The Strand, Historic Homes, Mansions, Pleasure Pier, Library and so much more! So much to do... or simply watch the historic trolley go by from the front porch. You can even go for a walk on the beach at morning and/or evening. Whatever you decide to do... you'll have an amazing time.
What makes this property unique
Located on the Galveston Trolley route. Convenient to the Seawall and/or the Strand... just a short walk! Walk to Pleasure Pier and/or your favorite restaurants, bake shops...etc.
If you prefer- rent a golf cart and tour all of Galveston! If you'd rather stay in- sit and enjoy a movie, or just sit at the front porch and enjoy the relaxing view.... or even the back porch- Enjoy the backyard and listen to rippling water from the neighboring pond and/or hear the birds chirping... and/or much more that nature has to offer.
