Video Introduction
Property Information
8 BLOCKS FROM THE BEACH - Our full service luxury rental is located in the heart of Galveston's East End National Historic District with all the comforts and feel of a B&B but with complete privacy and much more space! Ornately constructed 135 years ago, the house survived the Great Storm of 1900. Original hardwood floors from 1871 remain in tact in much of the house and the home is beautifully and comfortably appointed with period compatible furnishings throughout to make your stay feel both timeless and memorable!
We are on one of the most architecturally significant and visually pleasing streets in Galveston. Ball Street is often visited by horse-drawn carriages whose tours are conducted by local guides. We are only 8 short very blocks from the beach and moments from downtown. Come step back in time.....
The East End Historic Neighborhood is filled with delightful turn of the century homes. Ball Street is one of the more significant streets, and on our street, this lovely block is one of the more spectacular blocks. Going for a walk several times a day will make you smile every time you step into your neighborhood. Those walks can be purposeful, like going out to dine, or just to stroll the side-walked streets under the shade of magnificent, towering trees for a bit of fresh air.
Golf: All of Galveston proudly announced a 7million dollar renovation to one of the most beautiful public courses in Texas, The Moody Municipal Golf Course. Open to all so make your reservations early!

Testimonials
July 2008
We've stayed at the house twice now, once for Thanksgiving and once for July 4. Both times were wonderful.
House is well-appointed, convenient, comfortable, with charming historic details. Owner Elizabeth is gracious, thoughtful hostess. Our children (ages 7, 11, 14) think of it as their personal beach house now, though I'm thrilled it's a lot more than just a beach house.
Within walking distance to all sorts of interesting historical sites, convenient to downtown dining on the Strand, and landscaped backyard to enjoy the ocean breezes. Washer/dryer a wonderful asset when you're spending so much time in sand and surf, and the kitchen has everything you need to make and serve all meals. Even Thanksgiving dinner--china, crystal, the works!
Thank you, Elizabeth, for sharing your wonderful Galveston gem.
We will be back!

We are amazed and blessed to have found the most beautiful home on Galveston Island! We had a wonderful wedding at the Bishop's Palace and your home added so much to the overall experience. We will never stay anywhere else on the island and you will continue to hear from us for many years to come.

A patriotic, perfect July 4th at the beach. House was perfect as before and our family really enjoyed ourselves! Thank you for sharing your Victorian home.

This house is the BOMBDIZZLE. The couches are quite floofy, the bed is rather pleasant, the kitchen is yellow and delicious, and oh, the TV/Den is heaven. Many sessions of crap TV were enjoyed by all. The red room has many cabinets and the pink room has many mirrors. We wish the men we know would dress like the statue on the mantle! Thank you very much.

An old fashioned Thanksgiving in an historic Victorian home. You can't get much better than that!
