House for Waves in Galveston: 2 bedroom, 2 bath ensuite, fenced yard for dog

Welcome to House for Waves, a charming Galveston Island cottage just a half-mile from the Seawall and beach. This private two-bedroom, two-bath retreat is perfect for couples, families, friends, and dog owners looking for comfort, convenience, and a relaxing island getaway.

Each bedroom features its own ensuite bathroom, offering privacy and comfort for every guest. Sleep soundly in the luxurious king bed or the comfortable queen bed with an adjustable base. Need extra sleeping space? The living room includes a queen sleeper sofa.

After a day at the beach, unwind in the fully fenced backyard while your dogs safely enjoy the outdoor space. Bring your bikes, fishing gear, or beach toys and store them securely behind the gated driveway. Guests love the convenience of free on-site EV charging, off-street parking, and a washer and dryer for longer stays.

The cottage is ideally located just a two-minute drive or an easy walk to the beach, with Galveston's restaurants, attractions, and entertainment close by. Enjoy your morning coffee with your choice of Keurig or drip coffee maker before heading out to explore the island.

Built in 1935, House for Waves has weathered generations of Gulf Coast history and offers a unique blend of character, comfort, and modern amenities. Best of all, responsible dog owners are welcome with no additional pet fee.

Enjoy the entire property to yourself and experience the best of Galveston from this cozy island retreat.
