Welcome to the "Galveston" famous Kettle House. Renovated 1960's home originally built as a steel storage tank. This home has foam insulation and central AC for ultimate comfort! We have high speed Wi-Fi, Smart TV, and includes all the comforts of home. Large deck great for catching rays and relaxing in the breeze. Seen on DIY show "Restoring Galveston"! 8' poly stock tank pool and horseshoe pits recent additions!

8 minute walk to beach - across FM 3005
12 miles to the historic Strand

The space
IMPORTANT to Note:

There is an interior metal spiral staircase that is steep, tight, and can be difficult to navigate. There are NO HANDRAILS.

Downstairs bedroom with 2 queen beds requires going downstairs and bathroom is upstairs. These beds are also elevated. We do provide stairs with 3 steps for easy access. There are NO rails on bed! So if your worried about yourself or children falling off these beds won’t be for you! Got to work with the space we have :-)

This house has all you could need. Living room with smart tv available and all streaming services so you can log in to your own accounts, plus free Roku TV and movies. Should there be a day you don't want to leave the house we also have some games available for your enjoyment. Open concept living room, kitchen and eat up bar make this common space perfect!

Since this is a beach house there are 14 exterior stairs that take you to the main living space.

Fenced in stock tank pool under the deck. Fence for Children safety and privacy from road. Poly stock tank is 8' round and great for taking a dip after a long day at the beach or relaxing at the house at night. Shaded under deck! Please monitor children at all times.

Horseshoe pits in backyard!

This is a West End beach house and like all Galveston there are mosquitoes. We supply big spray at the house but during certain times of the year they can be bad. If you leave the outside lights on at night they will attract June bugs and other insects.

Also to note this house is on the “west” end of Galveston by all the elevated beach homes.
