🤝 Our Mission

Niyi Olumide

Owner & Managing Director

About ME

Hi, I'm Niyi, a Texas A&M Engineering graduate and owner of Grand Welcome Galveston. I worked in the Construction, Oil & Gas, and Tech Industries for over 15 years. During those years, I travelled to multiple countries, experienced different cultures and stayed in various types of accommodations, and noticed the tiny details that made my stay great, or otherwise. As I thought of creative ways to provide quality service, my interest in hospitality grew, and eventually led me to vacation rental property management.

At Grand Welcome Galveston, we value our relationship with the community. We enjoy helping homeowners achieve their property goals while we provide their guests with a boutique-like experience. I have an amazing team excited to serve you!

What I love about Galveston

As someone who loves outdoor activities, I enjoy spending beach time out there with friends or family. I also look forward to exploring the great seafood options you’ll find there. When not at the beach or enjoying seafood, my family enjoys spending time in the walkable streets around the historic district just to get a glimpse into the city’s rich history.

Yemi Abubakare

General Manager

About ME

I’m Yemi, general manager for Grand Welcome Galveston. Over the years I nurtured my love for real estate and entrepreneurship, which led me to my current role. This unique combination has equipped me with attention to detail and the innovative thinking skills my role demands. I love working with homeowners to showcase the unique qualities of their properties, maximize their earning potential, and providing a five-star experience for our guests.

What I love about Galveston

Galveston is a fantastic place for solo or family vacations. No matter what your interests are, there's sure to be something for everyone in Galveston. I love the fact that I don't have to travel far to enjoy a beach vacation. There's nature to experience, historic sites to visit, fishing expeditions and more. The food scene over here is incredible as well. Love Galveston!

Dayna Pinkerton

Brand Manager

About ME

Hi, I'm Dayna, a dedicated educator, and former Oil & Gas professional. I have educated hundreds of students and mentored many teachers throughout my 10-year profession in Education. After my time in this industry, I decided to branch out to Project Management in Oil & Gas and immediately grew passionate for all the moving pieces that promote successful projects. This career allowed me not only to grow, but to meet and create personal and professional lifelong relationships with some amazing clients and colleagues, which has led me to Grand Welcome Galveston!

What I love about Galveston

There is something special about the Island of Galveston. It may not be the most beautiful beach in the world, but it's that ruggedness that gives it charm. There is something mystical about it. While staying on the Island of Galveston, an early sunrise run is what I enjoy doing there the most. The roar of the shore, the seagulls soaring in the sky and the gorgeous sun rising from the east. It’s just so hypnotizing!

I've had an amazing experience working with Grand Welcome Galveston and their property management team.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do vacation rental management companies charge in Galveston?

The typical management fee for short term rental property management in Galveston can range from 10-40% depending on who you go with and whether they offer partial or full-service management. As an example, some larger national companies only offer partial management/half service at a reduced rate, which requires more effort on your part coordinating with cleaning crews, restocking supplies, changing linens, maintenance, etc.
💸 With us, you’ll enjoy hassle free vacation rental management. We work with you to customize a management solution that aligns with your financial goals.

Are short term vacation rentals allowed in Galveston?

Yes. However, there are some rules and guidelines to be aware of. First, you'll need to determine whether you have the right zoning for short-term rental. Next, you'll need to find out if your neighborhood or community has a room tax ordinance and any building code requirements for operating a short-term rental. You would need to register your Short-Term Rental with the City of Galveston. You'll need to collect and remit State, County and Local taxes.
🤝 We take the headache out of managing your own vacation rental by ensuring your property adheres to any existing or new short-term rental regulations, keeping your investment secure and your guests delighted.

Do I need to collect and remit taxes for vacation rentals in Galveston?

Yes! We collaborate closely with a local tax professional to collect and remit taxes on your behalf. This approach allows you to focus on your other priorities while we handle the essential tax responsibilities, simplifying your life as a property owner.
🛶 When you partner with us, you can avoid the complication altogether and allow us to remit all taxes paid by guests on your behalf. If you have any tax questions related to short term rentals in Galveston, feel free to contact us.
