Beautiful Loft - sleeps 4-5 - 2 blocks to beach (#43971)

Galveston, Texas
 

Description of the Galveston vacation apartment rental

The Fassler Beach Lofts are two blocks from the beach. We are four blocks from UTMB, Hospital.

We have a wonderful one bedroom loft available. This is an open and bright apartment; it will easily accommodate a small family of 4-6. The loft has a fully equipped kitchen and a large bathroom. I always have water, coffee, tea and snacks stocked in the kitchen.

The bedroom is furnished with a queen-size bed, plus the living room has a queen-size futon. There are solid antique oak floors and art deco architectural details. You will sink into the four-poster bed. The mattress is a pillow-top mattress plus there is a 5" featherbed topper. The linens are egypitan cotton. The futon's mattress is 8" thick and very comfortable.

The building was completely renovated three years ago. Hurricane Ike destroyed the first floor, it is under restoration.

Area Description

You will be two blocks from the beach and four blocks from UTMB hospital. The loft is in the East-End Historical District of Galveston Island. The East End Historical District is comprised of over 50 city blocks bounded on the south by Broadway, the east by 10th Street, the north by Mechanic Avenue and the west by 19th Street. The District has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976 and has been designated a National Historic Landmark.

The architecture of the East End Historical District reflects a variety of styles and periods, the earliest being examples of Greek Revival style built during the 1850's. Early residents represented an economic and social cross-section of the community, also expressed in the dwellings which range from small, simple cottages to large, elaborate houses.

You are also a few blocks from Stewart Beach. (You can see the Stewart Beach entrace from the front steps of the building) One of Galveston's premier family beach parks, Stewart Beach sponsors family-oriented events, such as volleyball tournaments and sandcastle competitions, throughout the summer season. The park features a children's playground, umbrella and chair rentals and volleyball courts.

Rachel Baker , Overland Park, KS My husband, 9 month-old daughter and I stayed in this charming apartment for a week. The hardwoods, frenchdoors & glass-front cabinets in the kitchens were the first things I liked. The location is close to many restaurants, Seawall Blvd, The Strand (downtown district) and the Bishop's Palace. She had fresh sunflowers on the mantle (we are from KS) and organic baby food in the pantry (knowing we were traveling w/ a baby). These subtle touches made us feel at home. We love that its "pet-friendly" because having our boston terrier, Lucy, with us really made our stay enjoyable as well. The price was great for the whole week & I would highly recommend this place to a couple or small family looking for a fun get-away.
