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 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.

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!

There were a few things that needed to be checked prior to renting to a new tenant. The coffee maker was dirty, two dirty coffee cups in the cabinet, a couple nails sticking up from the hardwood floors, towel rack was broke when we arrived. Semi low level apartments with not alot of decor. There was fairly good communication with the rental company.
