Our family enjoyed our stay in this beautifully restored historical home. The owner has put a lot of thought into the details in terms of furniture, decor, essentials, and historic architectural details inside and outside. Downstairs were 2 full baths, a master king bedroom, and a twin bedroom; and upstairs was 1 full bath, a master king suite that included 2 sleeping alcove rooms (2 twins and 1 twin with trundle).
When the heat index is 100+ in Texas and you just want to chill in a quiet historic bungalow near the beach, this place is perfect for relaxation. It is located in the East End Historical District adjacent to other restored historical homes and near the Strand for dining, retail, visiting art galleries, and other excursion-related fun. It has a screen-enclosed back porch with 4 rockers that overlook an arbor with a table and benches, 2 fountains, and a nicely landscaped, shady backyard. The kitchen is sizable with a table for 6 and a kitchen island, and is adjacent to the dining room which also seated 6. The front porch is equally comfortable with 2 chair swings and 2 chairs. During the latter parts of the afternoon and into early evenings, we ventured out to the nearby beaches on Galveston Island, within a few blocks of this home. Our stay in this home definitely checked a lot of boxes for us and was a pleasant and new experience on Galveston Island!
