This charming beach side cottage sits on a lot just 1/2 a block from the beach. I have had the great fortune to have owned the house for the past 30 years. We have always walked to the beach, never have taken a car. We are that close. Our street actually dead ends at the beach. So it feels very private and great for kids because there is very little traffic and no streets to cross to get to the water. We are in the Palm Beach Subdivision which is one of the Islands older beach side communities. There are many beautiful new homes in our sub division but doted through out are the original beach cottages built in the 1960's with lots of Old Galveston charm. We are one of those original cottages. We are on the west end of the island only 8 miles from the main drag. Only a 10 minute ride to all the restaurants and attractions but far enough away to enjoy a quiet retreat with beautiful (not so crowded) beaches. The house has a large front balcony with a view of the water which provides lots of outdoor space for sun bathing, star gazing, and of course the ocean view. There is always plenty of shade and a cool breeze on the first level perfect for outdoor barbecues and just relaxing. This house is a two bedroom, one bath. But there is also a downstairs shower with hot and cold water. Upstairs you'll find a kitchen with plenty of room, lots of seating and a view of the water. A spacious spot for everyone to hang out. And high ceilings make the rooms feel even larger. The kitchen has french doors that open on to the front balcony. Of course the kitchen is fully furnished with everything you will need for your family get away. The two bedrooms each have a queen size bed and the large living room has 3 day beds for extra quests. This house comfortably accommodates 2 couples and 3 or 4 children. We are pet friendly and only a $25.00 fee for each pet per stay. You will enjoy this house. It is very comfortable. It has character and charm and best of all it is close to the water. We would love for you to stay.
