Photos and Description of the Galveston vacation house rental 3 Bedrooms, 2 Full Bathrooms, Sleeps 6 Comfortably

Our full service luxury rental is located in the heart of Galveston's East End National Historic District with all the comforts and feel of a B&B but with complete privacy and much more space! Ornately constructed 135 years ago, the house survived the Great Storm of 1900. Original hardwood floors from 1871 remain in tact in much of the house and the home is beautifully and comfortably appointed with period compatible furnishings throughout to make your stay feel both timeless and memorable! We are on one of the most architecturally significant and visually pleasing streets in Galveston. Ball Street is often visited by horse-drawn carriages whose tours are conducted by local guides. There is much more information on our personal website. See the link in the Further Details section. We are only 8 short very blocks from the beach and moments from downtown.

Galveston gem

Elizabeth K Austin,TX
Review Submitted: August 5, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
We've stayed at the house twice now, once for Thanksgiving and once for July 4. Both times were wonderful.

House is well-appointed, convenient, comfortable, with charming historic details. Owner Elizabeth is gracious, thoughtful hostess. Our children (ages 7, 11, 14) think of it as their personal beach house now, though I'm thrilled it's a lot more than just a beach house.

Within walking distance to all sorts of interesting historical sites, convenient to downtown dining on the Strand, and landscaped backyard to enjoy the ocean breezes. Washer/dryer a wonderful asset when you're spending so much time in sand and surf, and the kitchen has everything you need to make and serve all meals. Even Thanksgiving dinner--china, crystal, the works!

Thank you, Elizabeth, for sharing your wonderful Galveston gem.

We will be back!
