About this property

The Starboard at M | Historic Lost Bayou Retreat • Walk to Beach • Sleeps 6

  • The Starboard at M is a newly renovated, pet-friendly 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath home in Galveston's Historic Lost Bayou District — the upper-right unit of a beautifully kept triplex at 1705 Avenue M, less than 10 blocks from the beach 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 equipped 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 queen poster 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 Queen

    - 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 The Starboard at M have exclusive access to the upper-right unit (address 1705) 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.

Peaceful and convenient base for NASA and Galveston

We stayed in this house for 2 nights to avoid driving in the Houston area during rush hours and to be close to NASA space center. It was a very quiet residential neighborhood, very close to the Seawall and the Strand. The house has just 1 shower in one of the baths, but that wasn't a problem after all. With no convenience stores nearby, we had to plan accordingly to have something to eat and drink in the mornings before we left for our excursions. Overall, it was a very good experience!

Fantastic stay!

We had the upper left flat of the house for a family of four. Two adults and two kids. Flat would even be good for six adults. Kitchen is well equipped and living room spacious with superb TV. The location is absolutely great for some days at the beach. It‘s Just a few blocks down the road. We had our morning coffee on the balcony and food at Sonnys Just around the corner. Definetely recomment this place for a stay in Galveston.

Great Experience!

The property was perfect for our needs. Everything was clean and organized. Our only complaint is that the unit only had one tv and this was only an issue due to traveling with kids. Otherwise, we had a very pleasant experience.

Review for top right fur avenue m

First off I would like to say the location was key for us because of our itinerary. It was clean and spacious and loved the floor plan. The fact that it’s historical made it that much more fun I told the kids that it was haunted and if they kept running around it would weaken the spirits. It was a full proof plan and it worked. I’d highly recommend Gareth with any of his properties and I will be a returning customer. Thank you

Good location in historic area!

We rented Top Right Ave M over a long weekend in October. The location was great - we could walk to coffee/breakfast in the morning, took walks in the evenings through the historic neighborhood, and we took quick drives to the beach. The house was clean, and we loved having a yard for the dog. It was very “no frills” - not much in the way of decor or “homeyness” and the bedding in the master wasn’t great. Almost like they used twin blankets and coverlet for a queen bed, so my husband and I were playing tug of war all night. But all in all, a good value for area.
