About this property

Coastal Breeze: Pool, Firepit & 4 Bathrooms!

This beautifully restored Gulf Coast cottage is in the top 1% of all stays. It has earned this ranking by blending timeless heritage with tasteful, modern design. Built in 1871, the home is a testament to the island’s rich past and resilience—having weathered the Storm of 1900 and enduring generations of change.

The residence was recently reimagined by the acclaimed team behind the television show Restoring Galveston, who brought fresh life to its classic architecture while preserving its storied foundation. Its façade, original brick pathways, and charming coastal proportions nod to its ancestry, while the interiors have been elevated to offer every contemporary comfort.

Inside, the home welcomes up to eight guests with a spacious and intuitive layout ideal for both retreat and gathering. A thoughtful floor plan includes three elegant bedrooms, each with its own ensuite, as well as a cozy study with a queen-size sleeper sofa and convenient half bath. The primary suite features a king bed, a luxurious bath with a double shower and soaking tub, and ample natural light. There is an additional primary suite on the first floor with a king bed and a luxurious bath with a walk-in shower.

Two distinct living rooms provide space for relaxation, while the fully equipped chef’s kitchen, complete with modern appliances, Keurig, wine fridge, and island seating, creates the perfect environment for shared meals and conversation. Every detail, from the curated furnishings to the plush linens and luxury bath essentials, has been chosen with care.

The home’s outdoor amenities invite quiet moments and lively connection. A private, heated pool is bordered by a privacy fence and comfortable seating for eight. A screened-in patio offers a shaded haven for morning coffee or evening cocktails, while a firepit and outdoor shower enhance the coastal lifestyle. With gated parking, beach essentials provided, and modern conveniences like central air, Smart TVs, washer & dryer and high-speed WiFi, the home offers ease and elegance in equal measure.

Important to Note: In keeping with the peaceful and respectful nature of this home, we kindly ask that guests refrain from bringing pets, smoking, or hosting parties.

Why they chose this property

We used to stay on the west end, but all there is to do is 100% beach! The fun of Galveston is all the bars, restaurants, attractions and yes, the beach. But the west end is 30 minutes from most of the fun. So we bought this property in the middle of it all. Everything is just 5 minutes away.

What makes this property unique

HISTORY OF THE PROPERTY: The house was built in 1871 for Walter and Caroline Ansell. Its is a five-bay-wide center-hall gulf coast cottage. Walter was a Civil War veteran and he established the Texas Ice Company, which shipped ice from Maine and Massachusetts to Galveston. This home was a 1900 Storm Survivor. As a result, parts of the island was lifted and the sea wall was built.

Part of the home was given to his son in the early 1900s. Original foundation bricks were used for the walkways and back fountain. The house has seen several owners since then but in the early 2000s, it was partially restored to its early American design. It has been featured on the cover of Houston House & Home and was featured on the Galveston Historical Homes Tour.

In 2022, Michael and Ashley Cordray from the television show "Restoring Galveston" bought and restored the Ansell house to its former glory. It has the best of both worlds - the Historic home charm but with all of the modern amenities such as a chef's kitchen, private pool, new central air-conditioning, Smart TVs and super fast WIFI! This house is a Historic Galveston Gem worth experiencing!
