Newly Renovated Historical Galveston Home - 8 min walk to beach!

Being less than 10 blocks to a relaxing beach in multiple directions, this newly renovated home located in the Galveston Historic Lost Bayou District and will be perfect for beach enthusiasts and those looking to seek out the activities in Galveston.

THE SPACE – LIVING ROOM / KITCHEN & DINING:

Walking into this 2-bedroom home, you'll be greeted by a very comfortable living area with plenty of seating and light for your family to gather. Sink into the leather couch after a long day or watch the hottest game on the included smart tv!

Adjacent to the living room, there's a splendid dining area and full kitchen that has all the stainless-steel appliances one could ask for including a full refrigerator, oven, microwave, dishwasher, and stove, as well as a Keurig for those mornings when you need a boost. We’ve also included some k-cups so that you don’t have to run out for them your first day. Here you’ll additionally find an outside porch and stairwell that leads you to the captivating back yard.

Past the kitchen is the full bathroom, half bathroom, and bedrooms.

THE SPACE – BEDROOMS, BATHROOMS

The master bedroom includes one queen poster bed with a view of the backyard, along with a ceiling fan to keep you cool and relaxed. There’s even an extra chair for those times you’d want to steal away in a good book. The second bedroom provides two queen size beds for extra guests to spread out. There’s plenty of natural light in here too as well as a nice-sized closet to hide add any clothes or extra belongings to. No need to bring linens either, we have you covered on that.

There is a full and half bath accessible in this home, so you have ample space to get ready for your days. The full bath includes a lovely renovated stand-up shower too so that you can wash the day away. We’ve also included a full-size washer and dryer so you can lighten your suitcase too!

THE SPACE – OUTSIDE

You will also have access to all areas of the outside of the property where there is extra seating and a small yard to relax in. Don't forget the outside shower for that pesky sand that came back with you from the beach🙂

We also provide an EV charger plugin for vehicles that need a quick charge!

There’s also a nice porch in the front for extra space to have that morning coffee.

Whether you want to enjoy your time the night before you depart for a cruise at the Galveston Cruise Terminal (twenty minutes away), enjoy a day at the beach (less than 5 minutes away), take the family over to Moody Gardens or Schlitterbahn (less than five minutes away), or just hang out at home, this location is the place to be!

Great place to stay

The house and accommodations were exactly as advertised and my wife and I had an amazing time during our stay. All of our questions were answered swiftly and the overall customer service was top notch. I would 100% recommend Rest & Enjoy Vacation Rentals to anyone interested in finding a great place to stay while on vacation. Thank you.

Giving it a 3 star because of few things. First the tenants downstairs were loud into the early morning hours, and the smell of marijuana was awful!! Second the air freshener that was used in the unit was so strong, it triggered my migraine headaches making my stay very difficult. Lastly, there wasn’t a lamp or secondary light in the rooms that could be used. I like to read at night and I couldn’t do so. Overall it was a good place to stay overnight. Good location.

We really enjoyed staying at this place. It was very quaint and had a nice charm to it. The host was very helpful and was very easy to reach. I would highly recommend this place to anyone staying in Galveston. It’s also very close to the beach!

Galveston stay

We had a great experience. Only complaint was it took awhile for the air conditioner to cool the house so in the day it would be hot but at night it would feel good. Other than that it was the perfect location and overall a great experience.

perfect for pup

This was a great choice for our small family and pup. The decor was nice enough but not over fussy. Finishes were pet friendly so that we didn't need to be hyper vigilant about our dog's behavior ( though she's very well behaved. No credit to us. She's a golden retriever.) The beds were very comfortable ( My top priority!). It's an old remolded property that some might think a bit funky. I say "comfortable"! We hope to come again.

Galveston shared property

The neighborhood was quiet and close to attractions. We would not recommend this property for groups of more than two people. The living area and dining area were small. The only lighting in the master bedroom was a ceiling fan and you had to almost stand on the bed to reach the short fan chain. The master bedroom could benefit from more lighting and at least one bedside table. If your party has more than two people, we suggest renting both top units.

Galveston Christmas celebration

Took my family to Galveston to celebrate Christmas by the coast. The house was perfect! It was clean, beds were comfortable, neighborhood was nice; location was close to everything we wanted to do. If the weather had cooperated, we would've walked to the local pub - such a cool place. The only reason I did not give 5 stars (and this is my first time not to; I love VRBO rentals) is because we didn't get check in info until after 4pm; we got to town at 3:30 and patiently waited to gain access to the house. We cooked every morning, the kitchen was fully stocked with plenty of pots, pans, baking sheets but no pot holders, trivets and only 2 kitchen towels. Problem was easily solved at Dollar Tree. Considering these are the only things that could've been better, it's not a big issue after the fact. The owner responded to all my messages immediately, so communication was good. I definitely would recommend this house to anyone visiting Galveston and looking for a centrally located rental.

Very Clean

I’ve never stayed at a vacation rental before. When I was looking for a hotel in Galveston, all the hotel reviews mentioned bugs or staff that was unfriendly. This rental was very clean. I never saw a single bug the whole time I was there. The owners made it clear that they would be available for any concerns. It was a great experience. The beds were comfortable and everything worked. I’m glad we decided to book the vacation rental rather than a hotel.

Clean, Quiet and Cool

We'd never been on a Galveston vacation before so we had a lot of exploring to do. This place is a great place to relax after having fun on the town. The place was spotless. The neighborhood was very quiet. And the noise coming from the other unit in the same building was minimal and they were a family with little ones running around. I'm a light sleeper and I was able to sleep great - bed was cozy, too. It was nice and cool all the time. The communication of the managers was great, timely and clear. Location wise, the beach is 5 minutes away, or less. Old downtown is less than 10. Moody Center is about 10-15. A good spot to stay if you're visiting Galveston to do a variety of things, like we did.

Quiet and clean

The house is in a great location. Everything was clean and easy to access. The beds were very comfortable. The only “complaint” (and it’s not a major one- just a first world problem ) was the lack of tv’s in the bedrooms. That was an easy adjustment. We will definitely stay at this or another of their properties again.

Beautiful Home/Excellent Neighborhood and Location

One of the easiest stays we’ve experienced! The home is clean and very comfortable. The hosts were very responsive to our needs. We had some noisy guests downstairs and the hosts were very quick to handle the excessive noise. Storms also knocked out the WiFi for a short time later on our second evening and they were all over getting it back up. Thank you, Gareth! What would have made it better? A few more amenities and a little more information ahead of time. We needed an iron and ironing board. A handful of cleaning supplies and a few extra towels and washcloths. A broom and dustpan. A couple of blankets, a couple of throw pillows, location of the poly cart and extra trash bags, and some laundry detergent for the washing machine. Things that are simple but necessary for many guests. These are little things, but it’s often the little things that make the most impact. I still rate them five stars because they were awesome hosts and the property was very nice! Definitely worth visiting again!

Shower is very nice (shampoo, conditioner, and body wash were provided), short walk to the beach and beds are very comfy! They even provided beach towels which was a huge plus as we don’t own any and did not want to purchase them!
