The Blue Mermaid-Walk to beach-Pets ok

Make your escape to Galveston Island, Texas at this 1915 cozy beach bungalow featuring 2 bedrooms, 1 bath with tub and delightful amenities. Nestled on a quiet street, The Blue Mermaid is a 100+ yr old home and only a short 2 1/2 block walk to the beach. Your fur babies will love the fenced in yard!

Offering modern amenities, sleeping for 4+ guests, private parking and outdoor space, beach gear and more, this enchanting abode is calling your name!

Being 100+ years old, this house is full of character and charm. It has been lovingly updated with little touches of home to make your stay more comfortable. In addition to the 2 queen beds, there is a queen air mattress for extra guests. There are two outdoor spaces for entertaining or relaxing to the sounds of the ocean waves.
