A small family company that treats Galveston like home
We're a daughter & mom team caring for a handful of homes we genuinely love. Not a corporate management group - just two people who answer the phone and make sure your stay is perfect.
Meet Anna & Tetiana
Karas Vacation Rentals started almost by accident - Anna stepped in to help family manage a beach home in Galveston, neighbors noticed how well it was cared for, and one home became a handful. Today we manage 12 properties across Galveston Island as an official family company: Anna looks after guests and the homes, and her mom Tetiana runs operations behind the scenes. Superhost status, 500+ five-star reviews, and guests who come back year after year are the part we're proudest of.
As featured in VoyageHouston's Inspiring Stories series - read Anna's interview about building our family business in Galveston.
Save up to 15% vs Airbnb
Platforms add a guest service fee on top of the nightly rate - often 10-15% of your total. Book direct with us and that markup is simply gone. Same home, same dates, better price.
5-star Superhost standard
Every home is cleaned after each stay and again before you arrive. The reviews aren't an accident - they're the standard we hold ourselves to.
Daughter & mom, hands-on
These are our homes. We choose the linens, stock the kitchen, and check the details ourselves. You're booking with the people who actually run the place.
