Monday Market Data: Breakdown of Galveston, TX Market

Mark Lumpkin breaks down the short-term rental market in Galveston — one of the fastest-growing and most competitive beach markets on the Gulf Coast.
With over 6,000 active listings and supply up more than 50% in just two years, Galveston has become a major target for STR investors. But despite the competition, there’s still a clear path to winning.
In this episode, Mark covers:
- The travel demand driving Galveston tourism
- Why cruise traffic creates consistent STR bookings
- The amenities that are now mandatory to compete
- And the rare amenities that can still create a true “unicorn” property
Here’s what the market looks like today:
- Pools → 35% of listings
- Fire pits → 29%
- Waterfront → 27%
- Hot tubs → 20%
Those are expected.
The real opportunity comes from the amenities almost nobody has:
- Pickleball courts → 2.2%
- Mini golf → 1.5%
- Movie theaters → <1%
- Saunas → almost nonexistent
The takeaway?
If you want to stand out in Galveston, you need more than just a pool and a beach house.
