The Space:
The Canal House has a large driveway ideal for those traveling together in groups to park comfortably. The front yard is expansive to allow for your group to play any games you bring- or for your furry friends to run around!
The bottom floor can only be accessed from the front or back ground floor and is one large room equipped with 1 queen bed and 2 twin bunk beds. The bottom floor has a window AC unit and a few space heaters for use if need be. We try not to freeze out the window AC unit so please be patient with it and keep the temperature above 68degrees. There is a full bathroom on this bottom floor with an intimate standing shower. This bathroom is connected through to the laundry room and both have concrete flooring for any sandy toes that may go through. We have a dehumidifier running in this room to help with Galveston's humidity but please keep in mind that this space is often more hot/humid than the upstairs level. The bottom floor is ideal for a kids room but is also spacious enough if you are planning a trip with multiple families!
We provide a Tide pod for our guests but if you plan on doing multiple loads of laundry please plan accordingly. In the laundry room we have a complimentary pair of outdoor chairs, a beach umbrella, and a few beach toys for you to enjoy!
The bottom level walks directly out to the private boat dock, boat lift not available, and is ideal for those who enjoy fishing! If you plan to bring a boat, please let us know ahead of time so we can provide a boat launch key (if lost there is a $200 charge applied). We do not track tides or provide fenders, ropes, cleats, etc so please bring whatever you may need for your boat with you.
Access to the top deck and top floor is by a shallow-stepped staircase on the outside of the home. The top deck is AMAZING! So much space for the whole group to enjoy together and covered to avoid the elements. There is plenty of seating for the whole group to enjoy relaxing together out of the sun after a long day at the beach :)
Here you will find the lockbox where the guest keys are located. The living space is an open concept area where the dining, kitchen, and living room flow easily together. There is also a futon here for additional sleeping arrangements. The kitchen is well equipped with LOTS of utensils and appliances.

There is 1 queen bedroom and 1 king bedroom on the top floor connected by a full bathroom. The bathroom upstairs is a bit more spacious and gets great natural light through the windows. The top deck has Central AC & Heating. The top deck HVAC system was replaced in 2024.. Our home has plenty of character—and a few quirks that come with age. On hotter days, things can get a little toasty, so we appreciate your good humor and patience!
