A short distance from swimming, the bay, and more, this pet-friendly vacation home lets you experience it all. Jump into your car and make short work of the 6-minute drive to Galveston Seawall or the 7-minute drive to Port of Galveston (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return, you can unwind by the outdoor pool or sip a drink in the outdoor entertainment area; you may also like the porch or lanai and dock. As for the great indoors, you can come inside and enjoy the free WiFi and TV.

As you settle into this 3-bedroom rental, you'll find a sitting area, a dining area, a charcoal grill, and air conditioning. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, towels, and toilet paper. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a full-sized refrigerator/freezer, as well as a coffee maker, a microwave, and cookware. And you can even travel light because you'll have a washer/dryer.
