We're a family of five based in Austin-- Dad an administrative lawyer and business owner, Mom an advanced practice nurse, Kid 1 in college, Kid 2 in middle school, Kid 3 in 5th grade. We love to travel and try new things. Mom grew up visiting Galveston with her grandma; Dad's mom's family is originally from the island going back to before The Storm.
Why they chose this property
One of nicest houses on one of the loveliest streets in Galveston's Historic East End. A 1900 Storm Survivor, taken down to the studs and lovingly restored in the 2000s, with new plumbing and wiring. Featured on the Galveston Historic Homes Tour. Perfectly located: a scenic walk to the action at the Strand, the art district, and the rest of downtown; UTMB; the hospitals; the seawall (.5 miles).
What makes this property unique
This house has been set up as our second home, with everything we could want when visiting -- so it should have everything you could want too. Nice cookware, dinnerware, flatware, sheets, mattresses. We love staying here. We think you will too.
