Close to a water park, sailing, and more, this pet-friendly vacation home brings it all within reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 4-minute drive to Galveston Seawall or the 3-minute drive to Moody Gardens (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

Relax on the furnished balcony/patio or sip a drink by the firepit of this vacation home. As for the great indoors, you can try your hand at billiards, or enjoy the free WiFi and TV.

This 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom rental features a living room, a dining area, and air conditioning. Bathroom amenities include towels and toilet paper. The kitchen is equipped with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a microwave. And because there's a dryer, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
