THE SPACE:
Iggy’s Oasis is your perfect retreat on Galveston’s historic East End. After a day on The Strand, or on Stewart’s Beach, or just laying around your private heated pool, or devouring a BBQ brisket you cooked on the patio, it’s time to come inside and chill. As you step indoors, you and your two fur babies - no weight limit, because big dogs deserve love too - are greeted by an open-concept living room with a large smart TV. Enjoy meals at the dining table, with the fully equipped kitchen nearby, offering all the amenities to make a foodie feel right at home.
When it’s time to get some much needed rest, the master bedroom offers a king-sized bed, smart TV and a luxurious spa-style bathroom. The whirlpool tub and shower also does steam and full body jets for some serious unwinding. A second bedroom offers a king-sized bed and a desk for remote work, with access to a full-size bathroom on the ground level featuring a stand-alone shower, ideal for sharing with other guests.
Upstairs, the loft is a kids’ paradise, complete with a game room that has a foosball table, modular sectional sofa with Bluetooth speakers and Smart TV with Xbox. Sofa easily provides additional sleep options. A bunk room with twin-over-full bunk and pull out twin trundle sleeps three easy and five in a pinch. A convenient half-bathroom is upstairs too.
Whether you come to the island for relaxation, exploration or business - Iggy’s Oasis has everything you’ll need to make your trip memorable and worth revisiting.
