Charming Bed & Breakfast in Galveston. Close to the cruise ship terminals, The Strand shopping and dining area, and the Gulf of Mexico. A great place to stay on your way to/from a cruise, for a weekend, or a quick getaway from the Houston area. The staff could not have been more friendly and accommodating. Free cocktails during an early evening social hour, and an amazing free breakfast as well. It felt as though you were walking into history as you entered the front door.

It is like stepping back in time. It reminded us of the bed and breakfast in the movie "Ground Hog Day." A Concierge will acclimate you to the home and take you to your room. The property provided a complimentary guest gathering. The next time we sail out of Galveston, TX, we will stay here the night before.

The staff are amazing and so welcoming, and the breakfast was all fresh made. The bed was a bit too soft for our liking though. Would recommend, it’s a lovely historic mansion

I would stay here again in an instant. The service was personal and efficiant. Aaron was especially helpful and went above and beyond for us. We only stayed a night prior to our cruise, but they treated us like we would be there forever. Will be back for sure.
