About this property

Walk to the Beach, Historic Cottage

  • Escape to a coastal paradise at this charming Galveston abode, within walking distance of Porretto Beach, this historic gem offers a harmonious blend of classic architecture and modern comforts. Featuring airy rooms, hardwood floors, and a serene palette, each space invites relaxation. Enjoy a cup of coffee on the turquoise-trimmed porch or unwind in the elegantly appointed living areas.

    This is the perfect haven for a memorable island retreat.

    The home is professionally cleaned and sanitized after each stay.

    Outdoor:
    There are three outdoor sitting areas for you to enjoy — two chairs on the front porch, a nice covered sofa and chair in a private space out back and a fire pit for a relaxing stay.

    +Plus:
    The game room under the house is one of our favorite features!

    Bedroom:
    Bedrooms are outfitted with blackout blinds so there are no early morning wake ups on vacation.

    The primary bedroom features a queen bed, television and air-conditioning for those hot days.

    The second bedroom provides a cozy atmosphere complete with a queen bed and spacious closet.

    Kitchen:
    The kitchen is fully stocked with baking sheets, crock pots, ample pots and pans. Our home has all you need to make your favorite meal.

    There’s a coffee maker, filters, and coffee grounds that our guests are welcome to use.
