Charming 1924 Craftsman Style Cottage Adjacent to the Garten Verein

Originally built in 1924, this charming Craftsman Style Cottage is situated on a secluded dead-end street across from one of Galveston's majestic private estates. There are 2 bedrooms and one full bathroom. The house was renovated in 2012 and central AC and heat was installed. Each bedroom has a king bed and lots of closet space. The bathroom has a toilet, sink, and tub/shower combo. The bathroom has an exhaust fan with a heater as well.

The house has an open floor plan between the kitchen, dining room, and living room. The kitchen has a gas stove and oven with a griddle and a vented microwave above. There is a large butcher block island with bar seating for you and your guests. The butcher block was sourced from a local meat store who served islanders for decades. The refrigerator is a large French door style model, with the refrigerator on one side and the freezer on the other and makes plenty of ice! The kitchen is fully stocked with cups, plates, flatware, stemware, cooking utensils, pots and pans, bowls, etc. It also has a blender, toaster, and coffee maker.

The living room area has a queen sized pullout couch and two chairs. The 55" flat screen TV has Roku, cable TV, and a DVD player. High speed internet and wifi is provided. The dining area has a large table that can seat four people comfortably. There is a full size front-load washer and gas dryer in the laundry room.

The front yard has a picket fence and is landscaped with roses, seasonal flowers and bougainvillea. There is a large shaded front porch with a teak bench for enjoying the cool breeze off the Gulf of Mexico.

The back yard is fenced and landscaped as well. There is a red brick patio with a picnic table, fire pit, and charcoal grill for cookouts. There is an outdoor shower with hot and cold water and a foot wash for rinsing off the sand from you or your pets after a day at the beach.

The house is centrally located and minutes from the beach, seawall, Pleasure Pier, the Strand, Moody Gardens, and Schlitterbahn water park. There are several great restaurants close by, as well and grocery and outdoor gear stores.

Given the property’s location and amenities, it is perfect for a couple’s retreat, a weekend getaway with friends, family vacation, or long-term rental for snowbirds escaping the cold winters.

We look forward to seeing you!

Gold Standard Experience
This property exemplifies why people like us use VRBO. The description, cleanliness, ease of check in and communication with the host set the gold standard. Everything about this property exceeded my expectations. My only complaint is that I only get to Galveston once a year to stay at this beautiful home away from home. I strongly recommend this property as a 5 star stay in Galveston!

Charming home.
We loved our stay at the property. It was centrally located to everything and I felt comfortable walking around the neighborhood. I was also able to walk to the sea wall from the house. The house has a beautifully designed interior, and the outside grounds were beautifully maintained as well with plants and flowers. You can see the pride the owners have in this home by the way the property looked. The owners were easy to contact if we had any questions. We will definitely stay at this property again in the very near future.

Decorator & gardener’s touch
Had to work remotely so appreciated the fast Wi-Fi. Also, the beds were super comfortable with top notch linens. Street parking readily available, just steps outside the front door. Lawn freshly mowed and trash pickup a breeze. Close to the beach & downtown. Would highly recommend this property.

Great holiday weekend
My husband, daughter and I enjoyed a long holiday stay at your cottage. Thank you! Galveston is a very interesting city for history buffs like us. We also went bird watching and out for great Cajun food. Two great coffee places: Red Light and Corduroy. Yum. Hope to be back.

Hosts are available by phone and answer any questions, or take care of a need. House is in a quiet, accessible location and has a peaceful yard. It is the perfect home for quiet relaxation! Well appointed and well maintained. Not a home for noisy people or parties. Enjoy!!

This property was great for our family and pet. Was within walking distance to the beach for us (0.5 miles away). Super quiet neighborhood with a nice park nearby. Centrally located for all of the other activities Galveston had to offer. We loved this place.

Hope to Come Again
Convenient location, quiet neighborhood on dead end street with privacy (nice to have our coffee on the front porch in our pajamas!). The house was clean and very comfortable. We must agree with other visitors about the beds - they are great. Entry to Kempner Park was a short walk around the block from the house and it's a beautiful park. As avid gardeners ourselves we appreciated the roses, caladiums and other landscaping, as well as fencing around entire property. Hope to come again.

Beautiful quiet location
This is a lovely, small home in a lovely quiet location. Located next to the end of a dead end street which overlooks the Garten Verein and Kempner Park. Very relaxing setting sitting on the front porch enjoying coffee to the chirping birds in the evening. We took a nice walk around the block and through the park to enjoy the lovely park. Beds are very comfortable and the home was clean and comfortable.

We had a wonderful time during our stay. Great location within walking distance to beach and restaurants. The house was perfect for our family and dogs. Old property that had been remodeled and had all the essentials. The outside shower was an excellent addition, especially when returning from the beach. The beds were so comfortable. The convenience to have Kempner park next door, was great to walk the dogs. Property manager was easy to communicate with via email. We are already thinking/planning our next trip

Covid Vacation 2020
The house was super cute and in a great location. We were in the center of really everything. The house provided most everything; I would, however, suggest that if you are bringing the full 8 people you bring a blow-up bed. The king beds sleep "three" and the pull out couch sleeps two. We have two couples and four teenagers so we needed the extra sleeping space. Also, there a limited supplies like towels (bath), trash bags, toilet paper, etc. so plan accordingly. With basically 8 adults, we quickly went through the 3 rolls and did laundry every day. I would also recommend a plan for recycling - the trash is limited. We do not live where recycling is really doable so we did not have a plan ahead of time. I recommend bringing a large bag to place all the recyclables in. Overall, the property was comfortable, and we left right at home. We enjoyed the stay.
