About this property

Originally built in 1924, this charming Craftsman Style Cottage is situated on a secluded dead-end street across from one of Galveston's majestic private estates. There are 2 bedrooms and one full bathroom. The house was renovated in 2012 and central AC and heat was installed. Each bedroom has a king bed and lots of closet space. The bathroom has a toilet, sink, and tub/shower combo. The bathroom has an exhaust fan with a heater as well.

The house has an open floor plan between the kitchen, dining room, and living room. The kitchen has a gas stove and oven with a griddle and a vented microwave above. There is a large butcher block island with bar seating for you and your guests. The butcher block was sourced from a local meat store who served islanders for decades. The refrigerator is a large French door style model, with the refrigerator on one side and the freezer on the other and makes plenty of ice! The kitchen is fully stocked with cups, plates, flatware, stemware, cooking utensils, pots and pans, bowls, etc. It also has a blender, toaster, and coffee maker.

The living room area has a sofa with a pullout couch, a love seat, and a chair. There is a flat panel LCD TV with DVD player and basic cable. The fireplace is gas. High speed internet and wifi is provided. The dining area has a large table that can seat six people comfortably. There is a full size front-load washer and gas dryer in the laundry room.

The front yard has a picket fence and is landscaped with roses, seasonal flowers and bougainvillea. There is a large shaded front porch with a teak bench for enjoying the cool breeze off the Gulf of Mexico.

The back yard is fenced and landscaped as well. There is a red brick patio with a picnic table, fire pit, and charcoal grill for cookouts. There is an outdoor shower with hot and cold water and a foot wash for rinsing off the sand from you or your pets after a day at the beach.

The house is centrally located and minutes from the beach, seawall, Pleasure Pier, the Strand, Moody Gardens, and Schlitterbahn water park. There are several great restaurants close by, as well and grocery and outdoor gear stores.

Given the property’s location and amenities, it is perfect for a couple’s retreat, a weekend getaway with friends, family vacation, or long-term rental for snowbirds escaping the cold winters.

We look forward to seeing you!

Great holiday weekend

My husband, daughter and I enjoyed a long holiday stay at your cottage. Thank you! Galveston is a very interesting city for history buffs like us. We also went bird watching and out for great Cajun food. Two great coffee places: Red Light and Corduroy. Yum. Hope to be back.

About the host

Hosted by Rebecca Doxey

We have been IBCs (Islanders By Choice) since 2004. We grew up coming to the island as children to fish and go to the beach, but started weekending here in 2004. The more we came, the more we fell in love with the island. There are so many interesting sites and events to see and do here, and we are constantly finding new things to do. We enjoy fishing, walking on the beach, riding our bikes along the seawall, paddle boarding in the Gulf and bays, and attending the various festivals and art shows throughout the year. We are now on our 3rd property in Galveston and spend almost all of our time here now.

Why they chose this property

The home at 2802 is a well constructed example of the brick cottages built in the late 20's. It's proximity to the Kempner Park, the beach and it's view of the Hutchings Mansion were deciding factors as well. The fact that we had recently purchased other properties close by, for the same reasons, sealed the deal.

What makes this property unique

The best part of this house is it's location. It is on a quite residential dead-end street, yet centrally located. The beach is just a short 6 block walk away. At the end of the street is Garten Verein, a former German social club organized in 1876 and is now a public park maintained by the Galveston Historical Foundation. Across the street is the 1856/1889 John H. Hutchings home, a three story mansion occupying almost three full acres. The Hutchings home has over 80 live oak trees and is home to several hawks and egrets. A daily treat is to sit on the front porch of the house and watch the hawks hunt between the mansion and park grounds.
