everything about this little gem was wonderfull. we stayed 2 days before our cruise and everything was nearby including the beach and great restaurants reasonably priced
This vacation was absolutely amazing. The home is beautiful and so convenient. We forgot a few things and this place provided it! Super clean...fun neighbors...and a hop skip and a jump to everything on our itinerary. You will not regret booking this place !
Fell in love with this place! It's steps from the ocean, the balcony was wonderful to sit on & watch the waves and see the sunrises. Our host, Kevin, was great at answering any questions quickly. Close to many things too. Would definitely love to rent this place again. There were 4 of us adults & we had a blast!
Stayed 1 night for a race - we wish we’d chosen to stay longer! Host was so amazing, communicative and accommodating. Cute property so close to the beach - view of gulf from the deck is so pretty that could just imagine how calm it would be if had time to just relax and drink morning coffee! Nice touches like keurig coffee maker with an assortment of pods. Beds were comfortable. Would be my 1st choice if down in Galveston again! Thank you for a great stay!

Beautiful home. Very clean and tidy. Great view, the beach is across the street. Excellent host.
We really enjoyed our stay at Salty Air Retreat. The location was perfect and we had a beautiful view of the beach. The house was fully stocked with all the basic necessities plus many extras like coffee, creamer, sugar, several tea ioptions and even provided laundry detergent. My favorite part was sitting out on the deck. You're close enough to the water to see and hear the waves crashing on the beach. I would definitely book again!
Great precruise stay for 2 couples. Comfortable and well-equipped. Loved the balcony; great beach view. Walking distance or short uber ride to conveniences and restaurants. Will stay here again when in Galveston.
The owners were very accommodating to our needs and the communication was excellent. We loved the house and its location. It was so nice to be so close to the beach.
Great house we used to stay in the night before a cruise

About the host
Hosted by Kevin
My wife and I met here on the Island many moons ago and decided it would be a great place to set-up home base and raise a family. We love being around and in the water - when we're not surfing you will probably find us gardening are on a long walk meandering through a quiet Galveston neighborhood.
