Bring your family, friends, and small canine companions along for your next Texas gulf coast getaway! They're all sure to love the elegant atmosphere of this charming cottage, perfectly positioned to enjoy the natural and urban wonders of Galveston.

Your new home away from home for eight is a mere half-mile from the sandy shores and warm gulf waters of East Beach and the famous Galveston seawall, to say nothing of the attractions of Pleasure Pier! At the same time, this home is right in Midtown, making trips to family-friendly destinations like La Kings Candy Factory or more upscale options like the Grand 1894 Opera House quick and easy.

The living room is a great place to sit back and relax after a long day out and about, and provides a good place from which to admire the elegant atmosphere and combination of classic and modern furnishings and decor. Stretch out on one of the sofas and see what's on the cable flatscreen TV, or have a movie marathon thanks to an in-house library and DVD player. Don't forget about WiFi throughout the house!

Spend a few quiet moments on the patio, gently rocking back and forth on the front porch swing and watching the oak tree gently sway in the warm breeze. Afterwards, head back inside and get ready for dinner, with a first-class gourmet kitchen! Stainless steel appliances and plenty of room with ample counterspace and a kitchen island make cooking easy and fun. Take a seat at the table nearby, or dine in the backyard by the grill. When you're done, just bring your dishes back to the kitchen and load them into the dishwasher.

Eight guests at once can use this home's four bedrooms and three bathrooms, with two dogs of up to 20 pounds also welcome for a small nightly fee. Adults will love the king- and queen-size beds in the master suites, with an additional generous queen-size bed in the third bedroom. Kids will love the two twin-size beds in the final bedroom, which has oversized stuffed animals for them to play with!

Wake up with a soothing shower from one of the nearby bathrooms and pick up some fresh clothes from the private washer and dryer before you head out and explore! You've got plenty of shops and restaurants to try if you get tired of cooking at home. Extreme Water Sports, just two miles away, lets you experience thrills like jetskiing, float boats, and water hover and flyboarding. Don't forget to bring the kids along for fun days out at Schlitterbahn Galveston Island Waterpark and Moody Gardens - they're both within five miles away!
