About this property

Port Side at M | Historic Lost Bayou Retreat • Walk to Beach • Sleeps 6

Port Side at M is a newly renovated, pet-friendly 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath home in Galveston's Historic Lost Bayou District — the upper-left unit of a beautifully kept triplex at 1703 Avenue M, an easy 8-minute walk to the beach with sand reachable 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 king 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 King

- 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 Port Side at M have exclusive access to the upper-left unit (address 1703) only — not the entire building.

It was in a good location for everything we wanted to do. It was comfortable and relaxing! Plenty of room! Would definitely rent again. The whole are very nice and accommodating. The only thing that would’ve made it a little bit easier for us is if we could’ve checked in a little bit earlier, I can understand not 23 hours earlier but you know if you got there between three and four with chicken Thomas 4 o’clock that it would’ve been OK to have the information and be able to check in at that time and not have to wait.
