Just an hour’s drive from Houston, Galveston is a great year-round resort getaway. Some of its many crowning jewels include Galveston Island Historic Pleasure Pier and the Moody Gardens botanical park. Of course, to get the most value out of your trip to this city, you need to be close to its wonderful bars and entertainment options, not to mention a wide array of dining options, which include the best steak houses. From amazing campsites to fun day cruises, there’s lots to do. As such, we’ve picked out lively and colourful Airbnb vacation rentals in Galveston, near all of the city’s fun spots.

What’s on in Galveston:

  • As someone who appreciates art, I wouldn't want to miss the opportunity to catch a performance put on by David Parsons Dance Company on April 6, 2024. Watch a delightful fusion of modern dance and classical technique. Tickets start from 22 USD.
  • On May 11, 2024, stop by The Grand 1894 Opera House to treat yourself to Neil Berg’s 50 Years of Rock And Roll IV. The master composer, along with a cast of stars from Broadway’s greatest rock musicals, will take you through five decades of iconic music from artists such as Fleetwood Mac, The Beatles, Aretha Franklin, and Buddy Holly.
  • Latin Grammy®-nominated group Mariachi Herencia De Mexico is putting on an enthralling show on May 18, 2024, that will have to tapping along to chart-topping music.

Travel advisory:

  • Visitors can take the scenic route to Galveston by sailing over from Bolivar Peninsula on Galveston – Port Bolivar Ferry. While one vessel is in operation around the clock, another vessel starts making its rounds from 6:30am. This number can go up to five during busy months. Passage is free.
  • Sold exclusively online, Galveston Island Pass is a great aid if you're looking to make your vacation more budget friendly. You can select four or more participating attractions to avail a substantial 40 percent discount. Plus, the pass is valid for 30 days after purchase!

3. Classic balcony suite for four guests in Grand Manor Mansion (from USD 88)

As someone who enjoys learning more about history, one of my favorite stay options has to be this southern tropical mansion that has been around since 1905, full of memorabilia. Grand Manor gives four guests access to a large luxury balcony suite best for travelers who are out in Texas for a sweet escape from the city. The classic interiors and midcentury touches bring character to the place, including an impressive clawfoot tub.

Other amenities include a swanky and equipped kitchen with marble countertops, indoor fireplace, Wifi, cable TV, air conditioning, bathroom essentials, and free parking on the premises. There is also a lovely patio and balcony guests can spend early mornings and late nights with coffee or a glass of wine in hand.

Indeed, Grand Manor is perfect for small families, groups of friends, and couples who wish to experience lux living away from their busy city lives at home. But you won’t be too far from the action either, as the home is only two blocks from various harbor side clubs and dining outlets. The beach is also a short walk away, as is the famous downtown Galveston Strand. In fact, the best part about this property is that you won’t need transportation to get to most places in the downtown area. However, should you wish to go further, the city’s free trolley shuttle service is at the end of the street.

5. Private room in a historic mansion (from USD 159)

Just a short seven-block walk from Pleasure Pier, this tastefully decorated suite is a dreamy couples’ getaway in Galveston. The artwork lining the walls is a great touch that I personally love. The one-bedroom unit is in the historic Charles W. Adams Mansion, which was built in the mid-19th century. The room features antique decor and furniture in keeping with the mansion’s overall appearance, and the king-size bed is on a four-poster frame. The suite also comes with a mini-fridge and a coffee machine.

Guests of this elegant rental will have access to other home amenities, such as the spacious balcony, backyard with patio, library, dining area, and the pink ladies’ parlor. Spend your time walking through the rose garden or take the provided beach towels and head to the shore.

10. Furniture store converted into a home (from USD 332)

This eclectic listing is a surreal, spacious experience. It’s a converted furniture store from back in 1928, and it’s close to many live music spots and the event space for biker’s weekend. Bikers have rented this space so that they can be close to the festivities. Quirky decorations and a modern, artistic vibe make this a rental that I would love to stay in myself. The large space downstairs is great for events, with a pool table, a bar, and a movie projector.

The home sleeps up to 16 people if the first floor is utilized. The four beds upstairs can sleep seven.

12. Unique brick home with lots of cute customisation (from USD 215)

This custom brick Galveston beach house rental via Airbnb is adorably named Sandy Toes, which is accurate too because it’s only a block away from the beach. There are also plenty of restaurants close by, so you can spend some time trying new cuisine.

It’s got a lot of comfortable nooks with sleeping space for 11 guests, featuring 3 bedrooms with 6 beds! Welcoming touches of art, warm lighting, and unique structural features make it a cosy place to stay with character. The fun pops of color and decor make this a picture-perfect retreat that I can see myself using as inspiration for my drawing sessions.

The more the merrier, right? You’re also allowed to bring your furry friends to this stay. Additional amenities include one free parking spot right off the road in front of the house.

14. Rustic listing beside a fishing canal

This Airbnb home is great for fishing enthusiasts as a canal is available right in your front yard. The neighbourhood is fun and welcoming with loads to eat, including bars, restaurants, and, of course, your very own catch. The vacation rental provides a boat lift, but not the boat itself. There’s also a marina nearby where you can grab your bait. A wide, open sun deck nearby will let you enjoy sea breezes to your heart’s content.

It’s near amenities and a pool so you can relax and enjoy your endless, seaside summer days here.
