Walk to Poretto Beach: Tropical Oasis in Galveston
Fall in love with this darling 2-bed, 2-bath vacation rental cottage built in 1901! Your favorite beach activities are just a quick walk away, while popular attractions like Moody Gardens and the Historic Pleasure Pier are just a short drive up the island - letting you make the most of your time off! At day's end, peruse the shops in historic downtown Galveston and dine at waterfront eateries, followed by s'mores around the fire pit in this cottage's private tropical backyard oasis.
