Reel close to the Beach - 2 blocks Pier/Beach

Why pay resort fees/parking and wait for what seems like hours for an elevator to stay in a condo, when you can have your very own beach house. We are centrally located to all the main attractions in Galveston and only 2 blocks from the Beach, Seawall Blvd and the Historic Pleasure Pier. You can hear the waves crashing from your front porch. All the great restaurants are within walking distance. Roll your beach wagon and boogie boards right from the front steps of your home to the beach.

Cozy beach cottage

We stayed here for a long weekend and enjoyed the beach. It was as just a short walk and super convenient to get the Pleasure Pier area by foot and not have to worry about parking. The house was cute with everything we needed. Host tried to let us check in early but we didn’t end up needing to. Would book again!

perfect for us

My husband and I loved staying at this adorable little home with our dog! Chill beachy decor, front porch, and small fenced yard filled with tropical plants were all perfect for us. Great location with short walk to the beach and longer but very doable walk to the strand! We were a little thrown off by a delayed checkin time and had to improvise a bit, but the owner was in frequent communication and all turned out fine. We really enjoy Galveston and had a lovely stay here! Thanks!

The house itself could use some updates and there were some minor things that didn't work. Overall it's a nice house with a great location. The property owner was very quick to respond with any questions. I would for sure recommend it to a friend.

Overall okay

Overall the stay was okay, I had let the owners know we would be checking in late but I never received the check in information and they had said they would be sending it in the morning. Never received instructions so I had to text super late that evening. Then when we arrived we were not told the off street parking was super small we managed to fit but a heads up would be have great. It was freezing in the home, so had to figure out where heaters were or if they worked. The stove/oven wasn't working and the fridge was off and warm. When I texted the owners I did tell them not to worry about it but still frustrating when you come with food.As for location to pier it was great. There were issues on the street that the house was located on but that isn't something the owners can control. Overall it fit for our little family but not what we had in mind from the pictures.

We had an amazing stay. The house is very charming. The front door code wouldn't work when we first arrived but the owners were very fast to fix it. Pleasure Pier was a 5 min walk and that sure beat paying 15 to park. The AC works great and the front deck is a great upgrade. Would definitely rent again.

Loved this place. It was conveniently located near every place we needed to go. Very close walk to the seawall and pleasure pier. Each morning we went out for a run along the seawall. The property owner was very responsive to messages/questions.
