We had a group of 6 ladies who stayed for one night at the beautiful property. We were in town for a luncheon to honor our networking group’s woman of excellence. Had a wonderful time in Galveston and at the property. The kitchen is totally stocked making our shrimp boil dinner easy to cook and serve. Easy to communicate with owner. Thanks so much for your hospitality!

Perfect Galveston Home

The renovated historic home was perfect for our spring break getaway, extremely clean, stocked and full of so much character. We were a golf cart ride from anything we wanted, including downtown. Host was amazing and answered questions almost immediately. If you want to be two blocks from pleasure pier, in a beautiful historic home, in a safe area, do not hesitate to book this place!

Wonderful Accommodations in Heart of Galveston

Who could ask for more? This lovely home was close to everything and was beautifully furnished yet kid-friendly. Pam is a premier host who tended to every detail, even had a beautifully decorated Christmas tree which made our visit even more special. This place is a gem.

Wish I could give 6 stars!

The house is perfect and the location is ideal. My husband, parents, daughters, and niece stayed with me at this property. It was so spacious, had beautiful decor, and was equipped with everything I could hope for in the kitchen and rest of the house. All the cookware was in excellent condition. The stain remover in the laundry room saved one of my favorite shirts. We walked to dinner at the restaurants and walked to the Pleasure Pier. Having tweens made the location even better so that we could come and go from the Pleasure Pier throughout the day. It was quite chilly during our visit, which made it all the better that we enjoyed the house so much. I highly recommend this property!

Great Time in Galveston

We really enjoyed our stay at this house. It was a nice location and close to many of the attractions on Sea Wall. Would have liked to have had a later checkout time, especially given the requested cleaning protocols we were asked to do before we left. The property manager was easily accessible and helpful when needed. Beautiful house!

Just fabulous

The Blue Wave house was wonderful. It was clean and comfortable beds were amazing. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything that we needed to prepare food. The house is 2 minutes from Galveston Beach and 2 minutes from Pleasure Pier which was wonderful. Several restaurants are in walking distance or in even a shorter distance with a rented golf cart. Sitting on the porch you can watch all the other neighbors and visitors walking up and down the street riding in their golf carts. You can see the Pleasure Pier Lights of the carnival the neighbors are great and welcoming. It was a very wonderful experience the homeowner and property manager are very nice and communicate very well answer the text messages within a few minutes I will stay here again I would advise for anyone to rent with Miss Pam for the Blue Wave home in Galveston Texas.

4th of July weekend

The house looked like the pictures and was beautiful inside. We loved how large the rooms and bathrooms were. The house was like a 1-2 mile walk to the pier/beach so that was great that we didn’t have to drive and pay to park. There was also a lot of food places on that strip by us within walking distance. The house is on a busy street so it can get truly noisy at times and that was a bit annoying especially when we were trying to watch TV at night. The shower in that upstairs hall bathroom is tiny. I’m short and could not stretch my arms out to wash. 2 of the bathroom doors didn’t lock well but thankfully it was just family in there or it would be an issue. Other than that the house was great and we enjoyed ourselves.
