Close to a water park, sailing, and more, this smoke-free condo brings it all within reach. Your feet will make short work of the 2-minute walk to Seawall Beach or the 8-minute walk to Galveston Island Convention Center.

After you return, you can unwind at the beach (enjoy the direct beach access!), chill by the outdoor pool, or sip a drink on the furnished balcony; you may also like the outdoor pool. As for the great indoors, you can come inside and enjoy the free WiFi and TV.

As you settle into this 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom rental, you'll find a living room and air conditioning. Bathroom amenities include towels and toilet paper. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, a microwave, and cookware. And because there's a dryer, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
