Galveston Texas Vacation Rentals
Galveston Texas is a great destination for vacation rentals
July 7, 2008
Galveston Texas is the place to be. It is the place to be for too many reasons to list in one article. One main reason, is not so much the things "to do" but the places to stay. Galveston abounds with great and varied places to stay. Of course it has famous hotels and motels, but it also has some amazing vacation rentals. These rentals can be beach front, bay front, or 100 year old Victorians. They can be rented for 1 night, 1 week, or 1 month. Imagine if you will, walking out on the second story of your double gallery porch to catch a morning gulf breeze and a cup of coffee. It is just one possibility to your morning here in Galveston Texas.

Maybe you imagine your morning differently. What about waking up early and walking down a few steps to scour the beach for shells before everyone else. That is a distinct possibility in one of Galveston's famous beach homes. Vacationers have been flocking to Galveston since the 1800's to enjoy the beaches and the warm weather. Some beach homes are also great deals because you can stay in a second row or third row house. They would still have great views of the beach and be a few feet from the sand, but occasionally at ½ the price. Galveston beach house rentals are great for families. Also, most of the west end beaches are "family beaches."

Another Galveston vacation rental possibility lies with waking up at 5 AM to hit some of the most famous fishing grounds in the gulf coast. With the ability of canal and bay homes to accommodate your boat, they might be just what you're looking for. West bay is famous for its trout and redfish, while offshore is famous for big kingfish and snapper. With a price generally lower than beach front, canal homes are a great bargain with the best sunset views on the island. The beach is generally within walking or biking distance from the canal home which makes it a perfect type home for families with mixed agenda. Some family can go downtown shopping, some can go fishing, and some can go to the beach.

The newest and maybe the most interesting rental is what was described in the first paragraph- waking up in your beautifully restored historic home with Downtown Galveston just blocks away. A Victorian rental is a great place to stay. These rentals are perfect for getting to know Galveston's exciting history or its down-town shops. Many of these homes are well over 100 years old and each has a unique story to tell. The Downtown area of Galveston is very much alive and is very active all season. It is where the ports dock, Mardigras happens, the bike rally occurs, and many famous restaurants are located.

So whether your looking for a 2 week beach get away or 2 nights of relaxation, Galveston Texas rentals are the way to go. With so many things to do and varied places to stay, coming year after year can become a family tradition. Sellinggalveston.com and All Inclusive Vacation Rentals would like to be the first to welcome you to Galveston Island!
