Just steps away from historical Seawall Boulevard and just minutes away from our newly restored beach access. There is no beach access in front of the resort, just a short drive or walk along the Boulevard. You can splash into the Gulf waters, run or walk along the beach or simply hang out!

Moody Gardens, where you can play golf, schedule a spa day, visit the Aquarium, Rain Forest, Theaters, Colonel Paddle Wheel Boat, Museum, and zip line the Ropes Course.

Schlitterbahn Water Park, 90th Street Fishing Pier, Jimmy's on the Pier, Premier Cinemas, Go Kart Arcade, Majic Carpet Golf. Drive further East on Seawall Blvd and check out Pleasure Pier and the many delicious restaurants, such as world-famous Gaidos Seafood, The Spot, Nick's Kitchen & Bar, and Fish Tales, to name a few.

Want more adventure? Check out the downtown Strand area. Beautiful turn of the century Victorian shopping/dining areas. Some of my favorite boutiques, along with the Stand - Tina's (voted the best boutique), across the street is Head to Footsies, another jewel. After shopping, dine at Fisherman's Wharf, delicious seafood at the right price, and see the historical Tall Ship Elissa up close.

A must for the kids, La King's Confectionery features a 1920's soda fountain, serving malts, shakes, ice cream sodas, sundaes, splits, floats, and your favorite fountain drinks. They proudly make and serve "Purity" ice cream, Texas' first ice cream manufacturer, since 1889 founded on Galveston Island. This place is amazing!

Galveston Historical Foundation is very active on Galveston Island; as a result, the island is home to the largest collection of Victorian homes in the country. Explore the beautiful Bishop Place and Sacred Heart Church on 14th and Broadway.

Next is 1859 Ashton Villa. Built by James Moreau Brown, beginning in 1859. The family occupied the house by 1861. Mr. Brown was born in New York State on September 22, 1821. He was the youngest of 16 children. After running away from home, he was apprenticed to a brick mason. He left New York around 1838, arriving in Galveston sometime in the mid-1840s. In Galveston, he opened a hardware business and became quite prosperous. This beautiful home is located at 2328 Broadway St, Galveston, TX 77550

The Moody Mansion - Of all the jewels in Galveston’s architectural crown, the Moody Mansion at 2618 Broadway, Galveston, TX, is arguably the shiniest of all. As one of the Top 10 wealthiest Americans at the turn of the century, W.L. Moody Jr. and his family spared no expense to make the mansion more than a home. It was a gathering place for the nation’s movers and shakers and a social spot for the family to relax in splendor. What makes the self-guided tours at the Moody Mansion unique, organizers say, is narrated by Moody family members.

Take in the East End Historic, Cool Tours, and ride the trolley. Check out their schedule online.

We hope you enjoy your stay on beautiful Galveston Island and make lasting memories!

The property was as described overall. Everything was very clean and lots of extras were a surprise. We were unaware that both bathrooms were upstairs. For older folks with knee problems, that was an issue. Also seating downstairs was not comfortable for all of us.

Beautiful property with the best balcony veiw i have ever had on the island. Every need was met and the host went above and beyond to make sure we had anything we could possibly need. My wife, parents, and i spent 6 days and 5 nights here. The resort style pool was beautiful and clean and a short 5 minute walk to the beach or puttputt and gocarts was also great. We would 100% recommend this listing to anyone.

This condo was fantastic! We stayed at Doreen’s place for a dance competition. The kitchen was great to have for early morning breakfasts, odd lunch hours and late night dinners. We had everything we needed. My teen even complimented how much she loved the place. The pool was amazing for the days when we couldn’t get to the beach. If we ever find ourselves in Galveston again, we plan to stay here!

Perfect Getaway

Perfect condo for our family vacation. Great location and condo was beautiful and spacious. Doreen (host) was nothing short of amazing. Anytime I had a question she was very quick to respond. When we arrived, we found little surprises in the condo for us....ice cream in the freezer, fresh bouquet of flowers on the counter, a welcome sign and a display of snacks, and beach toys for the kiddos. Such a sweet gesture! Everything was clean and the balcony had a perfect view of the pool grounds and the gulf. Speaking of pool, we definitely got our fill of swimming. Three pools to choose from (one was heated) plus a hot tub that felt amazing after a long day. I would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!
