Great little place

This house had cute interior decor and was very clean. It was about a 2 block walk to the beach, so we loved the location. There is a little back porch with a table, great for morning coffee or evening wind down when weather permits. Super comfy beds and window units provided great white noise for sleeping.

Casa Azul Galveston

Our recent trip to Galveston was made even more pleasurable by staying at Casa Azul. The 979 team did an amazing job in making this 2 bed/1 bath beach bungalow so welcoming! Only 2 short blocks from Seawall Blvd & the beach, the property was so conveniently located to restaurants, shopping & all the sights Galveston has to offer. We highly recommend you check out Casa Azul for an enjoyable beach getaway!

Perfect spot

My friend, myself and her two dogs stayed over spring break and had a wonderful time. You can’t beat the location…about one block off the beach and a few additional blocks to the pier. The house is comfortable with adequate air conditioning and has been recently updated. Fenced in yard for dogs and nice patio. We walked all over the near by neighborhoods enjoying the gorgeous houses. Host was easy to communicate with. Would definitely stay again

Close to the seawall and very safe and quiet.

This property is perfect. Seriously, it is located within walking distance from the Sewall just down the street and around the corner from the Pleasure Pier. We were in town for the Santa Hustle run and it was the perfect spot. The beds are very comfortable as well. Plenty of linens were provided and the place was clean and quiet. Would stay here again anytime. Thank you

Cozy house, great location

Casa Azul was great for a weekend getaway for a couple. The home was very clean and had a comfortable couch in the living room and a cozy, comfortable bed in each bedroom. The linens and towels were soft and high quality. The kitchen is a newer remodel and we found it just right for cooking for two. The best part of this house is the location. We walked to breakfast at Millers, dinner at the Hotel Galvez, and walked a bit further (just a mile) to all the shops and restaurants on the Strand. The beach is a 2-minute walk and the Pleasure Pier is within site as soon as you walk to the corner. Parking was easy right in front of the house. All-in-all, a perfect December getaway.

Cute Cottage by the Bay

Cute 2 bedroom 1 bath cottage tastefully decorated and very comfortable. The window units are used to drown out traffic noise at night on 19th street as this is a very busy thoroughfare. The cottage has central air and heat. Beds are very comfortable which for us is a must as that can really ruin a trip. Centrally located within walking distance to the Seawall and many eateries and shops. Local favorites were Bambu for breakfast, The Original Mexican Restaurant for Lunch or Dinner, and Katie’s. Although Millers Seawall is just a short walk away, the food was mediocre at best. This is a great place to stay if you want to be within walking distance to both the Seawall and downtown. The host was very responsive and we enjoyed this little cottage by the sea!

Nice place

I stayed here for 10 nights and have no major complaints, I was alone the first 5 night and my husband joined me for the rest. Having never been to Galveston, the area seemed a little sketchy but we had no issues. They do not allow any early check in or late check out and there are a lot of gaps and cracks around doors and windows so lots of bugs find their way in. Sleeper sofa was broken, no cable tv, streaming only so can’t watch news or sports. The two beds in rooms were very comfortable. Pots and pans all scratched up teflon so if you want to cook, may consider that…overall a nice vacation spot, I would probably stay there again. Also very loud to sleep so bring ear plugs, it’s right on a main LOUD road. Not a bad review, just an honest one 😉
