I am from the Dallas-Ft.Worth area. My partner and I began purchasing homes in the Galveston area in 2001, mostly beach front homes. Then purchased a home in Glaveston. After retiring from Radio Shack Corp, 24 years there, I moved to Galveston with my partner of now 15 years. We began buying property here on the Island, and decided to make this favulous cottage into a vacation rental.We love people and enjoying helping our guests have a great vacation.
