Everything is bigger in Texas…
including the snowbird lifestyle!
Escape the dreary winters of ice and snow for the much warmer Gulf Coast and Southern hospitality! Every winter thousands of visitors flock to the Gulf Coast.
Galveston Island offers a small town feel, true island living, year-round festivals, museums, tours, diverse and rich history, restaurants from local seafood, Tex-Mex, soul food, Creole, Cajun, Asian, Italian, fast food, buffets and more, and just across the causeway to the mainland, less than an hour drive, is the fourth largest city in the United States, Houston (45 miles), and both William P. Hobby (HOU, 40 miles) and George Bush (IAH, 70 miles) airports.
Galveston really has so much for everyone – those who love to fish, avid bird watchers, beachcombers, art gallery enthusiast, history buffs, thrift shoppers, food connoisseurs and people that just love the water, the beach and island life.

Let’s not forget the obvious – the weather! Cooler winter months, December – February, daytime high temperatures are typically over 60°F, nighttime lows are around 50°F, and snowfall and freezing temperatures are rare on the island. Check out our Galveston Weather page for additional information.
Kitchens are fully stocked with your basic pots, pans, dishes to make and serve breakfast, lunch or dinner. All kitchens offer a microwave, toaster, coffee maker, stovetop/hot-plate, and almost all homes also offer a full-size refrigerator, oven and dishwasher.
Linens are provided for all advertised beds, and all advertised beds are made prior to your arrival. Towels are included to accommodate the maximum occupancy of the home, and most homes offer a washer and dryer in the home or coin-operated laundry on-site.
Although most long-term reservations take place from the middle of November through February, long-term stays may be considered anytime between Labor Day and Memorial Day.
Ryson Vacation Rentals long-term stays require a stay of 30+ nights, and these reservations are tax exempt. This is an immediate savings of 15% (6% city and 9% state)!
Many Winter Texans return year after year. Spend a month or the entire winter on Galveston Island! You are welcome here; no one is a stranger!
Hope to see you on the island this winter!
