About this property

Beautifully renovated Historical Home sleeps 16. Walk to Strand, restaurants!

We hope our guests can enjoy our recently updated three story FOUR BEDROOM, THREE BATH Historic Victorian Galveston Island home! This modernized 1900 storm survivor exudes the eloquent charm and design to mimic the architecture of its time. Many elements, such as the large grand wooden staircase, large wall spanning windows, 10 foot ceilings and the two wrap around balconies are just a few of the restored home features.
Our home is located only a mere few blocks from quaint restaurants and boutiques. In addition, the strand is a 10 minute walk and attractions such as Seawall Boulevard, Pleasure Pier, Moody Gardens are only a short ride away. As an aide to your island travels, coming in Summer of 2017, will be the restored electric trolley only a few blocks from our front door!
Our "Belle" also includes many modern day luxuries, such as a dual walk in two head shower, an updated and fully stocked kitchen with granite counters and stainless steel appliances. Our guests can enjoy complimentary coffee and tea with condiments, as well as a fresh stash of spices and basic staples. Both living areas boast 48" smart TV's with high speed Cable. Free wifi is available throughout the house, with handy electronic device charging ports on each night stand!

Because your hosts want to ensure a great night's sleep for their guests, they have purchased only top of the line beds (including adjustable king size bed) high quality bedding, towels, complimentary soaps, shampoos and even face wash/makeup remover! .

For larger groups, or multiple families, our first floor includes a private kitchen, bathroom (glass enclosed shower AND antique shower tub), bedroom with two twins (trundle) and full size bed to sleep four. The first floor large living area boasts a 48" flat screen smart TV, memory foam queen sleeper sofa bed, a twin memory foam sleeper chair, and two twins (trundle) to sleep five. A memory foam roll away twin bed and an automatic inflatable queen mattress can allow this first floor to sleep up to 12 adults, or maybe just all the kiddos!!.

The third floor has three bedrooms as follows, Large First Master has a King size wrought iron bed (adjustable) with a door to the upstairs wrap around balcony. The Second Master, has a Queen Rice Poster bed, a beautifully wood carved full size crib and bedding with floor to ceiling windows that can be raised (CAREFULLY) to access the balcony as well. The third, room, known as a Trunk Room, is cozily fitted with a trundle bed (two twins), rocking chair and an antique dresser. All six third floor guests have direct access to the third floor bathroom, with double vanity and double walk in shower. Both larger rooms have full closets in addition to a chest of drawers, armoirs, vanity and comfortable reading chairs. A private coffee/tea service with electric coffee percolator, mugs, freshly ground coffee and condiments is also in each of the large rooms. Our guests can enjoy their morning coffee, while lounging on the upstairs balcony wicker furniture in their comfy morning attire! Just fill up the coffee percolator the night before and enjoy a freshly brewed pot in your own room or balcony the following morning!

The second floor also has a full bathroom with a double sliding glass door walk in shower. The newly renovated kitchen has direct access to the back yard deck where guests can comfortably lounge on our wicker set of two swivel rocking chairs, glider love seat and matching wicker table with seating for 8! The dining room has a very large faux stone table top, set for 14, with a very probably squeeze of 16! The "updated" 8 antique dining chairs were lovingly and most "novicely" reupholstered by your host! Enjoy the beautifully appointed and professionally reupholstered living room furniture (can adequately seat 8 adults plus two large fluffly floor cushion users) while catching up on the news or sports on the second 48" flat screen smart TV. Yet another gathering area, the front first floor balcony, can comfortably seat guests on a full size wicker couch, and two chairs.

Additional gathering areas include the front downstairs patio with a garden wrought iron table. love seat and chairs. The ground floor front porch with a fun swing san wicker chair basket and two other comfy out door chairs provide another visiting area.

Come enjoy our Belle and partake in the many modern day luxuries, eloquent designs and restored historic Galveston Island home features!
