STOP!! Historic Home That's Fun Not Stuffy!! Great Rates!! in Galveston

Historic home built in 1910 that's fun, not stuffy. We think
Victorian furniture is beautiful, but it's not known for comfort so
we've furnished our home with contemporary, comfy furniture that you
can relax on. 3 bedrooms plus loft, two full bathroom plus self-inflating
velour-top mattress with feather topper. Couch sleeps one.
One car garage plus one on-street parking pass. Our home is in the
heart of Galveston's "East End Historic District" known for
architecture reminiscent of New Orleans or San Francisco. Sip your
morning coffee on the Lanai as you listen to the doves and watch the
island wake up. It's 8 feet above street level, so stay in your robe
if you want to--we do! We are within a two minute drive to the beach and
within one and two blocks of three of the best restaurants on the island
which allows you to forget about cooking if you choose. Close to
everything, yet tucked away in the privacy and beauty of one of
Galveston's
grand old neighborhoods.
We love it here and we're sure you will too!
