Christmas at the Belle on Ball Street

Our second stay at The Belle was just what we needed for our annual birthdays and Christmas gathering! This historic home is beautiful and comfortable. The owners provide detailed notes about the property along with thorough check-in/check-out guidance, and are quickly responsive with any questions that may arise. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking needs. And the front porch is wonderful for morning coffee!

About the host

Hosted by Chris Malish

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.
