About this property
Walk to the Beach, Historic Cottage
Escape to a coastal paradise at this charming Galveston abode, within walking distance of Porretto Beach, this historic gem offers a harmonious blend of classic architecture and modern comforts. Featuring airy rooms, hardwood floors, and a serene palette, each space invites relaxation. Enjoy a cup of coffee on the turquoise-trimmed porch or unwind in the elegantly appointed living areas.
This is the perfect haven for a memorable island retreat.
The home is professionally cleaned and sanitized after each stay.
Outdoor:
There are three outdoor sitting areas for you to enjoy — two chairs on the front porch, a nice covered sofa and chair in a private space out back and a fire pit for a relaxing stay.
+Plus:
The game room under the house is one of our favorite features!
Bedroom:
Bedrooms are outfitted with blackout blinds so there are no early morning wake ups on vacation.
The primary bedroom features a queen bed, television and air-conditioning for those hot days.
The second bedroom provides a cozy atmosphere complete with a queen bed and spacious closet.
Kitchen:
The kitchen is fully stocked with baking sheets, crock pots, ample pots and pans. Our home has all you need to make your favorite meal.
