Tails and Shells

I'm the owner of this wonderful charming Galveston home. We have renovated it to meet the modern comforts that we all have come to appreciate in society today. The real gem to this property is the location. The home is a corner lot at 43rd and avenue R 1/2 which is about six (short) blocks to the seawall, this means it's about a ten minute walk to the beach. Also, near by is the famous local eatery call "Shrimp N Stuff" at 3901 Avenue O. I highly recommend it for anyone who is interested in great fried seafood fare and awesome gumbo. The place is also family friendly and thank you from, Tails and Shells bungalow.
