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.

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

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

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.
