HISTORIC 1924 HOME - DOG FRIENDLY - WALK TO BEACH!

This historic 1924 bungalow style home is in a quiet and safe neighborhood. Great comfortable home with a lot of windows and living/dining room for family gatherings. Large deck is located at the back of the house and has a private back yard. Plenty of off street parking with a gate at the back of the driveway that can be locked to store motorcycles or a car. One mile to the Historic Strand District. A seven minute walk to the Seawall, shopping and many great restaurants.

Cute house on quiet street
Family of 4 adults, 1 child and a dog enjoyed a very comfortable stay. Everything was clean, and brightly painted. The beach and great restaurants are in walking distance, but the kitchen was also well equipped with everything we needed to enjoy some home cooked meals too.

Lovely home!
Such a cute and comfy place to stay! Loved all the “extras” in the kitchen and bathroom. Love the location and cleanliness. Host was so very nice. The only thing I would change is a way to darken the front bedroom. Love the lead glass window but hard to sleep in when the sun comes up. Would definitely stay here again!

I gave the best ratings for all the above features, but Kathy went above and beyond in so many ways. Two different kinds of coffee makers - wow! Everything in the kitchen we could hope for! Very communicative and accommodating! Furnished with the comfort of guests in mind.

Am a fan of historic architecture and this was the first time I got to live in a historically significant home in an historic neighborhood. The icing was that this was in Galveston. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything needed for cooking during a month long stay. Kathy is an attentive landlord available to answer all questions. Will be recommending to family and friends.

Awesome Stay!
My wife and I had a wonderful time here. The house was a beautiful historic house that was kept in great shape. Off street parking was great to have. It was very comfortable, we had everything we needed to make our stay wonderful. The location was great, just a quick 5-minute walk to the beach, Paradise Pier, The Seawall, restaurants, etc. The neighborhood was quiet, which is a plus for us. Exploring Galveston during the day was easy, so much history in this town. If we travel to Galveston again, we will definitely rent here again.

Vacation stay in 1924 Galveston home
We can highly recommend this property and Kathy the owner. Everything was as promised. The arts-and-crafts home was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The walk to the beach was 7-10 minutes, but everything was less than ten minutes by car.

This property was amazing. Communication with the owner was spot on. Check in and check out process simple. This property is ose to the beach which is convenient with traffic on the weekends. It has everything that you could want/need for a short staybaway from home. The guest book gave insights on just how long they have been doing this and amazing suggestions on where to go/eat/play. The only suggestion I would make to the amazing owner is to get a new mattress in the guest room. Other than that a flawless stay in the home. If i return to Galveston i would stay there again.

The house is super cute and within walking distance of the beach. Great back patio with fence for our dog. They even had doggie blankets and bowls available in case you left your pet's at home. We had a great time during our stay.

Great place to relax and have our dogs near the beach
We enjoyed a great stay at this place. It was perfectly appointed. Everything we needed in amenities and little niceties was there. We came with two female dobermans, the desire to cook some fresh seafood and just relax. It met all our objectives. I'd go back here in a heart beat.
