Head to the Texas Gulf Coast for a relaxing holiday and unforgettable adventures in the island city of Galveston with this charming cottage as your home base! This Galveston getaway sits in the East End Historical District within walking distance of the Strand Historic District, making your city explorations easy as can be. A mid-20th-century house remodeled in 2018, this unique vacation rental features 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath for 6 guests. Unwind on the spacious back deck under the stars!
Your location is perfect for a short walk to the Strand Historic District, featuring Victorian-era buildings now housing restaurants, antique stores, and eclectic shops. Spend a day at Moody Gardens, just 7 miles from the property, to discover numerous attractions including an aquarium, zoo, zip line, and museums all housed in glass pyramids.
While situated in the East End Historical District, you can discover extraordinary architectural gems nearby such Bishop's Palace and Moody Mansion. Just a 5-minute walk from the cottage, Bishop's Palace is a remarkable Victorian-style house also known as Gresham's Castle, offering nearly 20,000 square feet of ornate decor, lavish furnishings, and eclectic designs that you'll love exploring. The Romanesque Moody Mansion is just over 1 mile away and definitely worth a visit as well.
Dine out at a few local favorites during your stay to get the full Galveston experience. Walk 0.3 mile to The Original Mexican Cafe for an authentic Tex-Mex feast in a historic building. If you don't feel like making breakfast at the cottage, walk 3 blocks to grab a pastry and latte at the Sunflower Bakery & Cafe. Treat yourself to a fresh seafood dinner at Gaidos Seafood Restaurant, boasting Gulf views and a historic vibe.
I probably didn’t read the fine print to find out that the bed in the master is just a full, not a queen. The queen is the fold out couch. Not only was it too small, it also has a distinct “dip” in the middle. Otherwise, we loved the place and would book again.

We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely go back. The owner was very responsive. Loved the decor in the house and the beds were comfortable. Great location too!

This is a cute two bedroom cottage. It has been fully renovated and decorated accordingly. In a good area and still close to everything! There’s only one bathroom but it is huge! Only one minor issue with towels and the tub and the property manager took care of it immediately! Definitely 5 stars and I highly recommend to any family that doesn’t want to be squished in a hotel room!

Owner was amazing with communication and easy to follow instructions. The property was in excellent condition and perfect decor for the island. The location was even better than expected. It was in a beautiful historic neighborhood with several excellent eateries within 2-3 blocks. My family was comfortable and relaxed for the duration of the stay. We would rent this property again.
