That amounts to a total of 768 million unused vacation days. Y’all, that’s 768 million lost opportunities for Americans to relax, reconnect and recharge with the people that matter most.

Even on the most relaxing vacations, there’s always a tiny bit of stress. What to pack, what to not pack, who will water the plants, what to do with the mail? It can be… a lot. One area that can be particularly stressful is what to do with the family pet during your vacay. If you’re anything like us, your four-legged friends are like family. And the thought of leaving them behind in the care of a crowded kennel or a strange pet sitter is — well, kinda horrifying.

That’s where BeachBox comes in.

It’s no secret that 2020 was tough on everyone. After a year like that, we at BeachBox think it’s a good idea to take a guilt-free break from the traditional, restrictive resolutions of years’ past.

Now it’s time to focus on one of our favorite meals — breakfast!

One of the perks of renting a BeachBox home is the fully-equipped kitchen that allows you to brew the morning coffee and flip some pancakes in your PJs.

Having someone serve you fluffy waffles, crisp bacon, fresh juice, and delicious hot coffee brewed to perfection is a vacation must-do. Join us as we take you on a tour of some of our favorite spots in Galveston to enjoy the most important meal of the day.
