Beautiful stay
Highly recommend to all visiting Galveston. Beautiful property and exceptionally clean. If your cruise leaves out of Galveston(especially Pier 16) walking to the terminal is a 5 minute walk…absolutely perfect.
Great stay for the night before our cruise, clean comfortable home atmosphere in the heart of Galveston, TX. We enjoyed it so much we now wish we had planned to spend more time there exploring the area.

Thank you, Paul! You are welcome anytime! Safe travels!
This property is stunning! We loved our quick visit before jumping on the cruise ship. We loved how 'stocked' the house was! The dinner and breakfast recommendations were perfect! Thank you

Wish I would have booked a longer stay
I only stayed here one night, but it made me wish I would have stayed longer. The home was comfortable & welcoming. Nicely decorated for Christmas. I arrived early with my family & the staff were more than welcoming for us to check in way earlier than 4pm. After a long day flying from Alaska, we were so grateful for the opportunity to check in. I did struggle with the lock a bit but a simple phone call solved the problem easily. I would 100% recommend staying here. They are extremely accommodating.
Absolutely beautiful home! Just a quick stay before our cruise. Everything was clean and comfy. The home smelled fantastic too! Loved the stained glass. It was like staying with a long time friend. Thank you for sharing your home, Mary Ellen. Would recommend 100%!
Everything was perfect from start to finish. We came down for a quick trip to Galveston with family visiting from out of town. Our host was wonderful with communication and the house was absolutely adorable!! Great location, it was close to everything we wanted to do! We will for sure be back to enjoy the island again! We would HIGHLY recommend this house!!

Stunning!
Mary Ellen has a beautiful home. We each had our own room. We had 5 people staying here and the foods available for breakfast were so very good! We loved the quaint decorations!! It was very nice and comfy. The bed was super comfortable to sleep in. The shower had great pressure. The table was beautiful! I loved the sitting room. I can't wait to come back again and stay here.
This cute and comfortable home was perfect for our stay in Galveston for a family event. It was just the right size for our party of 5 adults. It had a warm and cozy vibe with plenty of stained glass lamps to give you that hygge feeling. The home was packed to the brim with period antiques, and yet didn’t feel too cramped to move around. That said, I wouldn’t bring any rowdy youngsters to stay here. For our group, it was perfect, and the management could not have been more helpful and friendly.
