Quiet 2BR Near Texas City Dike - Fenced Yard, W/D, Pets OK

A modern 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom single-level home on a quiet, tree-lined street in Texas City, about 10 minutes by car from the Texas City Dike for fishing, crabbing and sunsets. Galveston beaches and the cruise port are about 25 minutes away; Kemah Boardwalk about 25 minutes; NASA / Space Center Houston about 30 minutes. You get the entire house, a full kitchen, a free in-unit washer and dryer, Wi-Fi and a workspace, hot water, air conditioning, a fully fenced backyard, and room for 1 pet.

This is a practical, comfortable base for traveling nurses at UTMB, refinery and plant turnaround crews, cruise travelers, fishing trips, families, and monthly work or relocation stays.

WHY BOOK HERE
You have the whole house to yourself — nothing is shared with other guests. It's all on one level, with no stairs inside, hardwood floors and plenty of natural light. The house sits in a quiet residential neighborhood on the Galveston Bay side of Texas City, close enough to the plants, the port and UTMB to be useful for work, and close enough to the dike, the beaches and Kemah for time off. Self check-in with a lockbox means you can arrive on your own schedule, even late after a shift, a flight into Hobby Airport, or a drive up from the Galveston cruise terminal.

THE HOME
A white house with navy shutters, a covered front porch, a lamp post and a front lawn on a quiet street. The interior is bright and updated.

LIVING ROOM: Comfortable seating, a TV mounted above a white stone fireplace mantel, a ceiling fan, a coffee table and an area rug on hardwood floors. Windows with blinds let in a lot of light. The living room opens through to the dining room.

KITCHEN: An updated kitchen with white cabinets, a patterned tile backsplash, white counters and a window over the sink. You'll find an electric stove and stainless oven, a stainless dishwasher, a refrigerator, a microwave, a toaster and a Keurig coffee maker with coffee. Pots and pans, cooking basics (oil, salt and pepper), a baking sheet, dishes, silverware and wine glasses are all here, so cooking on a long stay is easy.

DINING ROOM: A sunny room of its own, with an oval glass table for four, hardwood floors and large windows with blinds.

BEDROOM 1: A queen bed with a tufted headboard, fresh cotton linens, a dresser, a nightstand, a chair and window blinds on hardwood floors.

BEDROOM 2: A second queen bed with an upholstered headboard, fresh linens, window blinds, a closet with hangers, and a desk and chair by the window — a quiet workspace for remote work or a traveling nurse.

The home is listed for up to 5 guests, with 2 queen beds.

BATHROOM: 1 full bathroom with a walk-in glass shower and sliding glass door, a wood vanity, patterned tile floors, towels, shampoo, soap, toilet paper, a hair dryer and plenty of hot water.

LAUNDRY: A free stacked washer and dryer inside the home, plus an iron.

WORK AND LONG STAYS
Wi-Fi and a dedicated workspace make it easy to take a call, chart after a shift, or work remotely. The full kitchen and in-unit laundry are the practical pieces that matter on a longer stay: cook your own meals, wash uniforms or beach towels, and settle in without a trip to a coin laundry. Air conditioning and heating keep the house comfortable year-round. Monthly stays of 28 nights or more are welcome. The home works well for traveling nurses, refinery and plant turnaround crews, contractors, insurance adjusters, and families relocating to Texas City, La Marque or League City.

CHECK-IN
Self check-in with a lockbox on the front door. Your code and the exact address are sent after booking, so you don't have to meet anyone or wait on a key. That helps if you're coming in after a night shift, landing at Hobby, or driving up from the cruise port.

OUTSIDE
A covered front porch, a fully fenced private backyard with grass and shade (1 pet welcome), free parking on the premises and free street parking.

The entire house is yours: the living room, kitchen, dining room, both bedrooms, the bathroom, the laundry, the porch and the backyard.

The home sits on a quiet, tree-lined residential street on the Galveston Bay side of Texas City, with parks, the bay and the Texas City Dike close by. Drive times below are approximate, with no traffic. Allow extra time on cruise days and summer beach weekends, when I-45 and the Galveston Causeway can slow down.

FISHING, THE DIKE AND THE BAY
Bay Street Park is the close walk from the house: about 10 minutes on foot (0.4 mile). The Texas City Dike is about 10 minutes by car (1.9 miles) — near the dike, not a comfortable walk. The dike is a 5.3-mile paved road out into Galveston Bay, open 24 hours, with fishing from the rocks and piers, crabbing, birding, boat ramps, picnic shelters, fish-cleaning stations and sunsets over the water. Boyd's One Stop, a bait and tackle shop at the entrance, sells live bait and fishing supplies. From March through October the city charges a weekend vehicle fee to drive onto the dike; walking, running and biking on are free. Check current fees before you go. Nessler Park and the Texas City Family Aquatic Center are about a 5-minute drive. Texas City Museum and the Texas City Disaster Memorial Park are also a few minutes away.

GROCERIES AND FOOD
H-E-B (3502 Palmer Hwy), Kroger (3541 Palmer Hwy) and ALDI (3442 Palmer Hwy) are about 5–10 minutes away on Palmer Highway. A Walmart Supercenter in La Marque (6410 Gulf Freeway) is about 15 minutes. Palmer Highway also has local restaurants, including Tex-Mex and seafood. For waterfront dining, head to Kemah or the Galveston Seawall.

GALVESTON, THE CRUISE PORT AND THE BEACH
Galveston is about 25 minutes south. That puts you at the Seawall beaches, Stewart Beach, Pleasure Pier, Moody Gardens, the Strand Historic District and the Galveston cruise terminals — a practical night-before or night-after stay if you're sailing. Seawolf Park on Pelican Island is about 30–35 minutes; Galveston Island State Park is about 40 minutes.

KEMAH, NASA AND NEARBY TOWNS
Kemah Boardwalk (rides, waterfront restaurants and bay views) is about 25 minutes. Space Center Houston / NASA Johnson Space Center is about 30 minutes — enter at the Space Center Houston visitor entrance on NASA Parkway, not the employee gate. Tanger Outlets Houston, in Texas City off I-45, is about 15–20 minutes. League City is about 25 minutes; La Marque about 10–15 minutes.

FOR NURSES, CREWS AND GETTING AROUND
UTMB Galveston is about 25 minutes. HCA Houston Healthcare Mainland, in Texas City, is about 10–15 minutes. The Texas City industrial area, refineries and port are a short drive, which is why the house works well for turnaround and contract stays. A car is the easiest way to get around. Texas City sits between TX-146 and I-45. Uber and Lyft serve the area; local bus service is limited, so most guests drive. Free parking on the premises plus free street parking.

Other approximate drive times:
- Hobby Airport (HOU): about 45–50 minutes
- Bush Airport (IAH): about 80 minutes
