It's All About Location - 2 Blocks to Seawall, Walk to Restaurants!

Summary:
Easygoing, comfy, and just what you need for a low-key beach escape. This relaxed carriage house is tucked away in a quiet spot near the Seawall, with the Strand and all the island fun just minutes away. It’s not fancy, but it’s got everything you need to kick back after a day in the sun—cool breezes, good vibes, and that salty air. Perfect for anyone looking to slow down, soak up the coast, and keep things simple.

The Space:
Pack up your beach towels, sunscreen and cooler and head just a couple (1 1/2) blocks to the Seawall for your beach day! Finish up the sandy paws day at the Salty Dog Wash just a few blocks the opposite direction for a quick self-serve pup rinse off or schedule a spa day! Otherwise, head to Galveston's historic Pleasure Pier only half a mile down the road or the Strand Historic District just a little over a mile northwest. Longer walk or easy peasy Uber ride! Casita Azul is in an excellent location!

Every home is fully and professionally cleaned after each guest stay. In addition, all of our homes feature luxury hotel-quality/high thread count on all sheets, bedding, and bath towels which are replaced upon every turnover including the duvet covers and shams (we've heard not every company does this, and we think that's just gross). We take clean seriously! When you rent a 979 home, you'll also receive the 'comforts of home' guest welcome starter supply of shampoo, shower gel, conditioner, tp and paper towels, dishwasher and clothes washer pods. We want your stay to be as easy as you do, and the 979 Crew aims to deliver on that commitment. We love our island guests!

Due to our location (Island living is a whole other way of life), service may be unpredictable or spotty, and repair times can be delayed. While we will do everything we can to ensure these items are in good working order before your arrival, please note, these services may not be as consistent as they are in your area.

Enjoyable family stay at great location

The property was clean and close to all attractions. We had everything we need, and the owner even changed out the a/c unit while we were there because I said it was noisy! It was working just noisy! Great customer service! Super easy communication

Great property to stay in—everything you need. We chose this property because of the fenced yard as we were traveling with our small dog. We’ve stayed at the apartments adjacent so we were familiar with the set up.

Great little place and location

The place was exactly as described. Cute and clean. Just want to let other renters know some very MINOR things - one bedroom has no closet or mirrors (which is hard with sharing only one bathroom). Another thing I want to note is there are no wastepaper baskets in the bedrooms. Like I said all very minor. Otherwise had a great time getting around in a golf cart and had a parking space to put it.

My error I should have read listing throughly

First I want to start by admitting that I did not read the listing thoroughly and should have read other reviews. I’m not bougie or picky, I’ve lived through hard times and good times so based on my experience is why I’m sharing this post. Pros: 2 short blocks close to the beach, outdoor shower to rinse off seawater and sand, beautiful well kept outdoor area, kitchen is well maintained and has basic needs and appliances worked properly. Cons: upstairs unit only, couch needs replacing the stitches are undone, and sinks when sitting in front of the tv, sectional is not secured and comes apart, the floors are uneven, the bedroom door nearest to the restroom doesn’t stay open and sticks when the door is closed, the sink in the bathroom is super small and when washing up the the morning water is spilled all over the floor, the shower floor has black spots around and needs attention, the window ac units are super loud so loud that it would wake me up at night, the outside area is a shared space with abutting property and there is no privacy, rental was a little confusing to find as it’s behind a tall wood fence, the key entry instructions were confusing because it stated to enter the asterisk sign and there was no asterisk sign on the key pad, some decor is outdated or broken or dirty. I don’t recommend for a couples getaway or for a family of four because it’s too tiny. I’d recommend if you just need somewhere to sleep and secure your belongings.
