Surf Trip Studio Apartment
Summary: Located just five blocks from Galveston’s iconic Seawall, The Botanical offers guests the comfort of a private room with the feel of a boutique hotel. Adjacent to UTMB Medical Complex and only minutes from The Strand Historic District, it’s a convenient and cozy base for short or extended stays.
The Space: Our property features 21 cozy short-term rental units, all located within a two-hallway building that combines the convenience of a hotel with the comfort of home. Each unit comfortably sleeps two guests in a queen-size bed and includes a wall-mounted smart TV with streaming capabilities, a full-size kitchenette equipped with a Keurig coffee maker, blender, toaster, refrigerator/freezer, full-size microwave, dishes, glasses, coffee cups, and basic supplies. You’ll also find an iron and ironing board, a collapsible clothing rack for rooms without closets, a round table with seating for two, a nightstand with a lamp, and an individually controlled air and heating system for your comfort.
