HISTORY OF THE HOUSE

Welcome to the Galveston Victorian House! We are a full service luxury rental located in the heart of Galveston's East End Historic District with all the comforts and feel of a B&B but with complete privacy and much more space. If you have any special requests, please let us know and we will make every effort to assist you.

Your Entry Way

Ornately constructed 135 years ago, the house survived the Great Storm of 1900 and Hurricane Ike in 2008. Its original hardwood floors from 1871 remain intact in much of the house and the home is beautifully and comfortably appointed with period compatible furnishings throughout to make your stay feel both timeless and memorable!

We are situated in the middle of the charming East End National Historic District and placed on one of the most architecturally significant and visually pleasing streets in Galveston. Ball Street is often visited by horse-drawn carriages whose tours are conducted by local guides.

On the few days that Galveston experiences inclement weather, you almost have to open the front door and look outside to tell whether or not it is raining! The only sound you hear is the ticking of a clock.
