About this property

Mimi's House - Historic Home Close to Everything!

Mimi's House is a Rare Find. It is a heritage home that has been updated to maximize space for our guests. From the open floor plan of the Foyer and Living room to the huge bathrooms, spacious is the key word for Mimi's House. Just three blocks from the beach and Pleasure Pier, and minutes from the Strand, our home has got it all. Perhaps that's why it ranks high on all searches and is consistently booked throughout the year.

Perfectly Perfect
This is one of the best VRBOs we've had the pleasure of staying at. The location was great! Easy walk to Pleasure Pier, the beach and restaurants. Plenty of room for everyone. Very clean and the hosts were easy to communicate with before, during and after our stay. I would highly recommend Mimi's House!!

Simply bliss!
What a wonderful location for comfort and peace. We just loved our stay. The street was quiet and the surrounding neighbors were friendly. The home met all or our needs. It was clean, spacious and conveniently located, within easy reach to the beach, the Strand, and restaurants. The surroundings were simply gorgeous on most of the street. The owners left very clear instructions that were easy to follow for check-in and check-out. I would recommend this place in a heartbeat!

One of a kind!
Our family stayed at Mimi's house for a few days before going on a cruise. Such an awesome area to explore and hang out in! Unfortunately it rained and was windy the whole time! but because the house is so awesome we enjoyed staying in and the granddaughter's highlight of their stay was learning how to play shuffleboard! We all had a lot of fun! the area couldn't have been any better. Mimi's home was defiantly comfortable and met our needs.

Classic Galveston Experience
Mimi's House was amazing. The architecture, inside and out, and attention to detail created an impressive and relaxing environment. Light colors, hardwood floors, lots of windows, super comfortable beds and pillows, spacious bathrooms, along with a well-stocked kitchen and washer and dryer all contributed to a great stay. Our family really enjoyed the shuffle board as it quickly became an evening activity. We have stayed at a number of short term rental homes over the years and I can honestly say that Mimi's House is up there with the best of them.
