If you Came to this Island 🏝 to make a quick buck on Short Term Rentals and leave..Then Thanks, I probably bought your property for 30% below asking 😂😂. HOWEVER..for the rest of us who Truly enjoy this beautiful hidden gem 💎 (which is not so hidden anymore) I say WOW 🤯. I fell in love the minute I crossed that bridge. My wife's dream was to own something close to waterfront and boy did Galveston deliver. After Months of research, YouTube videos etc I knew this was a magical place. And to think 🤔 I got a property here for the price of a new Cybertruck 🙄..But unlike the cybertruck Galveston is resilient towards water and floods..🛻🌊🌊. The Strand is amazing, you are literally stepping back in the 1900s. The Many beaches with beautiful birds 🐦, and wetlands. People are pretty chill and seem to be accustomed to the mass tourism happening. There's always an event happening here year round. Walking on the beach at midnight with 80° water at my feet and felt safe the whole time, police dont seem bother anyone and the sidewalks are lit up for MILES. This is the 2nd biggest investment I've made in my life and I am extremely happy with it. I always leave this Island with a sense of awe and peace before I gotta get back to the grind of work, traffic and bills 🥵. And let us NOT FORGET !! The awesome Bernardo de Galvez (and his sexy horse🐴 ) the Spaniard of 1776 who made this Island possible. Who took 4 bullets and 4 hurricanes to help and assist our Patriots overcome the British by land and sea. Friend of George Washington who went on to become a Count and Viceroy by age 35 ..amazing.. He was finally recognized as an American Citizen in 2014 because of his contributions to this great nation. ....let us not forget 🇺🇲

We just love coming to Galveston Island. We have been coming for over 35 years, so we have lots of memories and we have seen a lot of changes through the decades.
