About this property

Port Side at M | Historic Lost Bayou Retreat • Walk to Beach • Sleeps 6

  • Port Side at M is a newly renovated, pet-friendly 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath home in Galveston's Historic Lost Bayou District — the upper-left unit of a beautifully kept triplex at 1703 Avenue M, an easy 8-minute walk to the beach with sand reachable in multiple directions. Sleeps 6.

    THE SPACE — LIVING AREA & KITCHEN
    A comfortable living area welcomes you with a leather sofa, generous natural light, and a smart TV — the perfect place to gather after a beach day. The adjacent dining area and full kitchen come stocked with stainless steel appliances (full refrigerator, oven, microwave, dishwasher, gas stove) plus a Keurig and starter k-cups.

    THE SPACE — BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS
    The primary bedroom features a king bed with a backyard view, a ceiling fan, and a reading chair. The second bedroom offers two queen beds and a roomy closet. A full bath with a renovated stand-up shower and a separate half bath give everyone space to get ready. Linens and towels are provided, and an in-unit washer and dryer keep your suitcase light.

    BED BREAKDOWN
    - Primary Bedroom — 1 King
    - Second Bedroom — 2 Queens

    THE SPACE — OUTSIDE
    Enjoy a covered front porch for morning coffee, a shared backyard to relax in, and an outdoor shower to rinse off the sand. An EV charger plug-in is available on site.

    PLEASE NOTE — UNIT ACCESS
    This property is one of three distinct units in a triplex. Guests booking Port Side at M have exclusive access to the upper-left unit (address 1703) only — not the entire building. Outdoor common areas such as the front porch and backyard may be shared with guests in the other units if those units are booked during your stay.

    LOCATION
    In the Historic Lost Bayou District of Galveston, TX — under 5 minutes to the beach, Moody Gardens, and Schlitterbahn, and about 50 minutes from Houston via I-45.

Shower is very nice (shampoo, conditioner, and body wash were provided), short walk to the beach and beds are very comfy! They even provided beach towels which was a huge plus as we don’t own any and did not want to purchase them!

Great Family Vacation Spot

We had a wonderful weekend before heading out for a big family cruise over Labor Day weekend! The accommodations were clean, we had everything we needed, and the owners were kind enough to inform us of some local events happening over the weekend. The location was great- we absolutely loved Shykats Diner for breakfast, and it was a very short walk for us to get there! Highly recommend!

The house and accommodations were exactly as advertised and my wife and I had an amazing time during our stay. All of our questions were answered swiftly and the overall customer service was top notch. I would 100% recommend Rest & Enjoy Vacation Rentals to anyone interested in finding a great place to stay while on vacation. Thank you.

We enjoyed sitting on the front porch enjoying the view of the historical homes that line the entire block. You can get anywhere you want to go within minutes, beach, restaurants, shopping… It’s not a lot of fluff, it’s just right.
