About this property
3rd Coast Getaways - The Shaw House
Recently renovated and refurbished, this charming Galveston residence, dating back to 1878, beckons groups seeking a memorable getaway. Originally crafted by Michael Shaw, the visionary behind the designation of downtown's historic district as The Strand, this home boasts a coveted location within close proximity to the ocean and various local points of interest.
Situated approximately a mile from the sun-kissed sands of Porretto Beach and a mere seven miles from the family-friendly haven of Moody Gardens, this abode serves as an ideal launchpad for indulging in Texan-sized adventures. Embark on a day of kayaking in Offatts Bay or rent a jet ski for some exhilarating wave-jumping. Explore the latest exhibits at Moody Gardens before capping off the day with a thrilling descent down the waterslides at Schlitterbahn Waterpark.
After a day of exploration, retreat to the comfort of this inviting home. The fully equipped kitchen awaits, inviting you to prepare refreshments while central air-conditioning keeps you cool. Take advantage of the private washer/dryer for laundry needs and unwind on the covered patio as the kids frolic in the fenced yard.
Stay connected with complimentary WiFi as you plan your next escapade and catch up on sports scores via cable television. Alternatively, cozy up for a movie night with your favorite film on the Blu-ray player. Wind down the evening with a nightcap on the porch, savoring quiet moments with your loved ones.
For those craving a taste of Galveston's rich history, nearby attractions such as the iconic Moody Mansion and the majestic Bishop's Palace offer captivating glimpses into the island's past. Marvel at the grandeur of the Moody Mansion, a historic treasure dating back to 1895, where meticulously preserved interiors and lush gardens provide a window into Galveston's opulent past. Step into the awe-inspiring Bishop's Palace, also known as the Gresham House, a breathtaking architectural marvel renowned for its intricate detailing and stunning stained glass windows. Explore these architectural gems, each steeped in stories of bygone eras, and immerse yourself in the charm and elegance of Galveston's historic treasures.
