A Salty Air Retreat just steps away from the Gulf of Mexico

Come enjoy our newly constructed Salty Air Retreat featuring 2 bedrooms with 1 1/2 baths in the historical east end of Galveston. Just a leisurely 60 second walk to feel sand between your toes in Galveston’s beautiful beaches. You can watch a spectacular sunrise from our deck while the waves wash ashore, or enjoy seeing the evening moon rise. Our location is perfect for dining at one of the nearby restaurants that are in walking distance, or just taking a relaxing stroll on the beach.

Our brand new beach house features granite countertops, brand new stainless steel appliances, a dishwasher, a microwave, a 50 inch 4K smart tv with WiFi, a beautiful oversized shower (no tub), and a full-size washer and dryer. For your enjoyment, there is a large deck for you to enjoy your morning coffee brewed in a Keurig coffee maker. We also have beachchairs, beach towels, a small cooler, beach toys, and a pop up canopy to use on your beach outings, which can be conveniently transported with a wagon that we provide. Our house is on a corner lot which provides ample parking, with an outdoor shower for your convenience.

Let yourself in using our keyless entry lock system. Because we live in Galveston, we are only a text away. Please feel free to ask any questions or voice any concerns you may have. We will normally respond within the hour.

We have some amazing restaurants within walking distance. Our home is conveniently located to attractions like the Strand (1.5 mi) and the Pleasure Pier (1.2 mi). We are a block from the beach! Come enjoy our tropical paradise from this beautiful, comfortable, conveniently located home !!!

There are several rental shops nearby. You can rent bikes or golf carts for your enjoyment. There is also a trolley that stops about 3 blocks from our house that will take you just about anywhere on the island you would like to go.

Stayed 1 night for a race - we wish we’d chosen to stay longer! Host was so amazing, communicative and accommodating. Cute property so close to the beach - view of gulf from the deck is so pretty that could just imagine how calm it would be if had time to just relax and drink morning coffee! Nice touches like keurig coffee maker with an assortment of pods. Beds were comfortable. Would be my 1st choice if down in Galveston again! Thank you for a great stay!

We really enjoyed our stay at Salty Air Retreat. The location was perfect and we had a beautiful view of the beach. The house was fully stocked with all the basic necessities plus many extras like coffee, creamer, sugar, several tea ioptions and even provided laundry detergent. My favorite part was sitting out on the deck. You're close enough to the water to see and hear the waves crashing on the beach. I would definitely book again!

We were able to check in before schedule and the communication was great. They sent all of the information needed, so there were no questions. The location is great, you can sit on the balcony and look out at the water while listening to music. The beach is walking distance and there is food that is walking distance as well. The home layout is great and the decor is perfect. Cleanliness is top notch, I didn't even find a spiderweb in the corners or windows, clean. There were games and all the small extra touches made us feel very much at home (everything was labeled from cabinets, remotes, to light switches to know what is where and what works what). There were little snacks and waters, extra toiletries to use for a night or 2 (soap, shampoo, q tips, body wash, etc), beach towels, plenty of towels, and more. The bed clothes smelled freshly washed and the bed was comfortable. I will be staying here again. The sunset was amazing from the balcony.
