We had a wonderful family weekend away in Galveston. The house is perfectly located, it is spacious and offers all you could possibly want for a beach getaway. Close to Stewart beach and lots of places to eat and drink. Karen was a fabulous and helpful host, responded to all my questions so quick it was much appreciated. Most responsive host I've ever had when staying at a VRBO. Cannot rate this place enough.

This is a thoroughly excellent pet-friendly location for a family of 4 to 6. We spent half our time at the beach and the other half downtown and this was the perfect in between location.Something else to note, we cooked several meals in their excellent kitchen and enjoyed their back porch immensely. The dogs especially loved the porch and backyard.We recommend both this property and the super friendly owner for helping us enjoy our spring break trip!

Matthew and his family were great guests to host. They communicated well and took great care of my property. There was a slight mishap that happened and they alerted me immediately and took responsibility. Would not hesitate to host them again, Look forward to see you and your dogs on your next visit to Galveston

About the host

Hosted by Karen Chagnon

Host profile image
Originally from England, I’ve lived in the USA for over 25 years and have been in the DFW area since 2020. The beach is my happy place, so I spent time searching for a spot within driving distance. That’s when I discovered Galveston and fell in love with the island. Now, I own my little piece of paradise and am thrilled to share it with families so they can create their own cherished memories.

Why they chose this property

I love the location of my house—it's within walking distance to the beach, the strand area, restaurants, and all the historic houses, yet on a quiet street where you can truly relax. It feels like it has the best of everything.

What makes this property unique

I put a lot of thought into furnishing my property, prioritizing comfort above all. My outdoor living space stands out with its large deck, perfect for soaking up the sun and dining, and a covered patio below featuring a bar and games. Even on a rainy day, you can still enjoy being outside.
