Galveston is an amazing and fun community! There are so many different things to do and see...there truly is something for everyone. You will find go-carts and miniature golf, fishing, dining at Jimmy's on the Pier, batting cages and our local movie theater.

In town, enjoy one of many fabulous restaurants that offer everything from fine dining to international cuisine to some of the best burgers around.

The Grand 1894 Opera House offers some of the best entertainment and shows in Texas featuring headliners from across the country, as well as a historic setting for live theatre. And, we love our festivals and special events here in Galveston! Mardi Gras, Lone Star Biker Rally, Dickens on the Strand, and the numerous triathlons, marathons and walk-a-thons are popular events throughout the year. Bird watching, kayaking, and fishing of all kinds round out the many outdoor activities enjoyed by both locals and visitors alike.

We had a great time Casa Frio! The home was very clean and spacious for our family of 5. The kitchen was fully stocked with every utensil, gadget, & cookware. The added room in the ground level was a great addition. We were able to even get some fishing done on the canal. The only issue we had was connecting to the WiFi, but we have Xfinity and was able to login under our account. That was minor. Overall, we believe this was one of the best homes we’ve stayed in while visiting Sea Isle, and we’re typically down at least once a year. We’ll look to book again!

Check in was easy. House was well equipped from bedrooms and bathrooms to kitchen and outdoor things. We fished a lot from the bulkhead and boat slip dock, caught red fish, trout, croakers and hardheads. Having a bathroom and a shower downstairs was great. We really enjoyed our family getaway and showing our family around the area.
