We came to Galveston in 2016 for a vacation and fell in love with this beautiful island and the feel of "life on a Sand Bar". We were blessed to be able to purchase this beautiful Coastal Cottage in 2016. This is a 1913 Coastal Beach Cottage decorated in a colorful beach style. The wood floors are original 1913 oak wood. Our home has definitely passed the test of time!
The home was purchased from a decedent of the original builders.
There is deep and extensive history in Galveston to explore and our home is just a small part of that history.
The September 8th,1900 Hurricane "The Great Storm" was one of the deadliest natural disasters in the Nation. Although the death toll will never be known precisely, the 1900 storm claimed upwards of 8,000 lives.
There are several Ghost tours in Galveston, and some will go to the 1900 storm Cemeteries. There is Galveston Historical Society Museum on Pier 21.
We are grandparents to 5 wonderful grandchildren. We both love living life and relaxing on the island. We love our beautiful beach home and this neighborhood, and we hope you will as well.
We are retired, live close and are always available if the need arises.
