Today we’d like to introduce you to Pam Fleetwood.
Hi Pam, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I am from Dallas and moved to Galveston Island in May of 2021. I bought it my historical cirque 1907 from an individual and I found out it was a Bed and Breakfast (Virginia Point Inn) from 1983-1997, so I decided to turn it back into a B&B as extra income for retirement. I started with that and then started doing High Teas. I was then requested to host a bridal shower, and now I do all of those things plus complete weddings. I do live on property on the first floor in an apartment, so I am close by if my guests require any attention. I love my life here in Galveston and have no plans to move back to Dallas.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Most of the time. My husband of 36 years and I separated in 2023 and found myself having to maintain everything myself. I do have plenty of staff to help me now and love my life even more!
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about Fleetwood Services, LLC?
I am part owner and this company that builds and remodels golf courses for the 10 years. We turned that company into a multimillion business. Now I am sole owner of Virginia Point Inn, and that is my passion and have won many awards for my hospitality that I am very proud of. I have been runner up in the Reader’s choice award for the past 3 years for best Bed and Breakfast! I am a member of the continental and global who’s who, The Elks and the Galveston Regional Chamber of Commerce. I have 4 rooms, heated pool and sit-down breakfast in the morning. I also provide transportation to and from the cruise port and airport. I am very hands on, and it is me on a plate!
So maybe we end on discussing what matters most to you and why?
Entertaining people. I love to find out where they come from and we share stories. It’s all about having my guests having a smile on their face when they leave, and then they tell me they are coming back. I have a lot of repeat customers and cruisers! It makes my heart so happy.
