Surf and Strand is a great place to stay for your Galveston Getaway! It was the most immaculate B&B ( or hotel ) I have ever stayed in. The place was perfect for my wife and I. As advertised, it was so convenient to both the Seawall and the downtown area. Neighborhood was nice and quiet and the place was just a block off one of the main streets that made getting around the island so easy. Definitely recommend Surf and Strand and will be booking it for our next trip to Galveston!
