The Captain Vacation Rental Description (Cont.)
... furnished ALL FLUFFY - like a typical Bed and Breakfast, and we are not HUM-DRUM like a Holiday Inn or other Beach rental. The character of this 'Old Corner Store' comes through in the old SODA FOUNTAIN BAR Kitchen, and naval/nautical decorations. The first floor has natural hardwood floors (red pine).

Two bedrooms are on the 2nd floor with two additional bedrooms on the 3rd. The 4th floor roof-tio patio - is the 'Talk of the neighborhood!' Then let's talk about the 2 story high garage with it's New Hot Springs Vanguard Hot Tub and Tiki Bar area! The yard is a small wrap-a-round walk through an arbor with beautiful decorations of seashells and birds. We definitely do no have a Typical Home in the Historic District!

Located 4 blocks to Steward Beach, Corner of 10th and Sealy (One block off Broadway) and 3 blocks to UTMB.

Great for Wedding Party housing and small Corporate Meetings.

Comments for The Captain Vacation Rental
The Captain has such a great fun atmosphere and both kids and adults adored it. The rooms at the top of the house really lent themselves perfectly to a Peter Pan style stay for the children, whilst the adults enjoyed playing 'barperson' at the ground level!. The good selection of games and videos meant nobody could get bored. We also spent a number of great late afternoon/evenings 'surfing' on our boogie boards at Stewart Beach, it being close enough to walk to. The way the property is laid out is totally suited to a gathering of family & friends, as it facilitates being together whilst still allowing everyone to have their own space when they need it. As you know, we had invited a few of our Houston friends over for an overnight stay whilst at "The Captain", and it worked out fabulously - so much so, we had trouble getting rid of them all! - We all stayed up way too late, sitting in the fab hot tub with drinks and none of the kids wanted to go to bed! I am really glad we booked the home (and it really does have the feel of a home), it was the best part of our vacation in Texas, and I hope one day that we'll be back. It was a real pleasure to meet you, once again, thanks. Best Regards Belinda, Greg and Hazel Rogers

Dear Shelia, We had a great time at the Captain. It met our needs exceptionally well. Your personal service and attention to detail far surpasses anything I've experienced in other places I've been with youth groups. You genuinely like kids, and were glad to have them staying at your place. That is exceptional. Also, I wanted to tell you the seafood place you recommended, Benno's, was outstanding. The food was great, the prices reasonable, and the service very friendly and helpful. I definitely would recommend the Captain and you to anyone.

Hosted a party for over 20 guys! for 3 night. Place is super and everyone had a great time. We even brought own carwfish and cooked over 200 lbs on Saturday. Shelia makes sure everyone has everything the need for a great stay!

Shelia was the perfect hostess for our Girl's Weekend Away. Everyone had a blast and we all have said that either together or apart with our families, we will definitely be back. The breakfast was perfect (especially since none of us wanted to wake up and make it!) and the house was perfect. It had a charm that you just can't get at a hotel or beach house. The house and Shelia made our weekend what it was! All that and it was a great deal for the money to be able to sleep 20 people.

We arrived in town with 15 Motorcyles for Biker Weekend and Shelia had the garage all ready for us - we got them all out of the weather! We had a fantastic time - and the house was perfect for our group. We have just called and confirmed the same date for this year. I highly recommend The Captain for you family or friends get-a-way and Shelia as your perfect host - She will see to it that every thing is perfect - including a 3 course Breakfast - if you want it - which we definitely are glad we did every morning!

We always come to Galveston for Dickens on the Strand and we loved staying at The Captain - it was just the right "OLD HOUSE" flavor we love. Shelia, our hostess, even arranged for a horse and carriage to pick us up in our period costumes. We have already booked for next year - We have told all our friends - and we will be back for many years to come.

Thank you Thank you Thank you - you were the perfect hostess. We loved the house, loved the hospitality, and loved all the extras. We have left our Security Deposit for NEXT YEAR - we want to book BOTH WEEKENDS for Mardi Gra. All our guests were just shocked at how much fun we had in Galveston and at The Captain. It is decorated perfect!

Shelia, Just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay at the Captain. It was just so perfect for our family to get together, spend time together which we haven't been able to do until now, and still maintain the privacy everyone needs. The kids all raved about the house, it's history and how perfect it was. Thank you so much - your hospitality made us feel very much at home. You are a gem, and your home was perfect for our needs. Hope to come again some day. Dot Russell and the rest of the clan.
