Nice historic house

We enjoyed our weekend in this home in Galveston. It had plenty of room for our family of 4. Convenient location with only a short drive to the places we visited. Rooms and bathrooms were clean. 2.5 bathrooms 1 with shower, 1 with a tub only. Overall we would recommend this house to others.

Our new favorite place to stay! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the charming and beautifully maintained house. It's evident that a great deal of time, thought, and exquisite design went into creating such a welcoming and comfortable home. The property was incredibly accommodating, offering everything we needed for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation. Without a doubt, the highlight of our trip was this wonderful house, and we honestly didn't want to leave!
