Hi, I'm Chris a (CTA), CTA is Certified Tourism Ambassador. I was born and raised in the southwest part of Houston, and Galveston was a regular part my life growing up, from going to the beach or setting sail in the bay. My background has been in the hospitality industry for most of my career, so owning and managing STRs was a natural fit. We have been to many of the local spots on the island, so if you need help or suggestions, we would love to help. We hope you enjoy the island as much as we do.
