About this property

Port Side at M | Historic Lost Bayou Retreat • Walk to Beach • Sleeps 6

Port Side at M is a newly renovated, pet-friendly 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath home in Galveston's Historic Lost Bayou District — the upper-left unit of a beautifully kept triplex at 1703 Avenue M, an easy 8-minute walk to the beach with sand reachable in multiple directions. Sleeps 6.

THE SPACE — LIVING AREA & KITCHEN

THE SPACE — BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS
The primary bedroom features a king bed with a backyard view, a ceiling fan, and a reading chair. The second bedroom offers two queen beds and a roomy closet.

The home is in a lovely older quiet safe neighborhood. I walked my little dog several times a day feeling very comfortable. The balcony was nice. The home is close to the seawall, places to eat, shop and have fun.

Really lovely home, clean and in a beautiful neighborhood! Check in was so easy and we spent our evenings after dinner on the front porch. Quiet area and close to everything! My only suggestion would be some wine glasses, otherwise we had everything we needed and had a great time!!!

Clean, Cute, and Cozy

Shower is very nice (shampoo, conditioner, and body wash were provided), short walk to the beach and beds are very comfy! They even provided beach towels which was a huge plus as we don’t own any and did not want to purchase them!
