Absolutely gorgeous!
This home has the best of both worlds- vintage charm with modern amenities. Sparkly clean, beautifully furnished, nice electronics, nice bathroom and effective a/c. Plenty of easy street parking and a great walking neighborhood.

Pictures don’t do this place justice
My friends and I stayed and we were so surprised by how cute it was in person. The pictures definitely don’t give this place justice, it’s so cute in person. Lots of space, comfy beds, all the comforts of home like a coffee maker, washer/dryer, dining table, and lots of comfy blanket to relax on the couch and watch tv with. The house is also very close to the ocean, and the Belle unit has a cooler and wagon to make a beach day much easier for guests. We had some issues the first night with an outside security light, I message the owners and they had it fixed the next morning. So they are wonderful hosts and very responsive. Will most definitely be back!!

Such a lovely stay!
This house had everything we needed and more. We thoroughly enjoyed the style and decor. The house was very comfortable and I will definitely stay here again. I usually have to pack everything. From beach umbrellas to toys and it was all here. Now I could relax and enjoy. Thank you for a wonderful stay so close to the beach.

About Cory, Ashley, and Shana

Keeping it in the family! This is a mother (Shana), son (Cory) and daughter-in-law (Ashley) trio. We bought this home because we love to travel with our family and friends and this home is the perfect spot! If traveling in a small or large group, this home will do the hosting. Animals are an intricate part of our family, and they are always welcome in our homes.

Why they chose this property

As a family, our favorite vacations are warm weather, beach destinations, where we can relax and enjoy the surf and sun. We chose Galveston because it is on the Gulf and has a unique feeling of being in the Caribbean while still being planted in the U.S. This quaint island is a world of its own while being just a short drive from southern Texas. The small but mighty island has all the amenities, attractions, and activities as the mainland.

What makes this property unique

This is a historic Victorian home built in 1915 and located in the Silk Stockings District. The three separate apartments, including three full kitchens makes this home a unique piece of history. Over the years it was used as a boarding house and still show cases it’s old-world character while being updated and modernized. This is the perfect location! Only four blocks from the historic Pleasure Pier, The Strand, and the beaches on the Seawall. We offer hotel-quality linens and towels, luxury mattresses, fully stocked coffee bar, and all the amenities of being at home!
