Historic chic and modern home blocks from the famous Strand

Ready to travel back in time to another era of Galveston? The Pink Door House is a historic 1912 remodeled corner home in the heart of the Strand. It is blocks away from the cruise terminal, Strand District, and the beach. If you love fun details and old historic charm, this house is for you! With original floors, pocket doors, shiplap, closets, entry door and more this house exudes old Galveston character. The Pink Door House is ideal for vacations close to the beach, restaurants, and shops.

Welcome to your historic old-charm Galveston home! The home is perfect for large families or group looking to get away and enjoy all of what Galveston has to offer. As you walk up to the Front Door you'll notice the now closed in orignial screen patio and entry door which has been converted to the Mud Room. Store your beach essentials in the lockers and leave the sand at the door. The house is also equipped with a full Washer and Dryer. On the Bottom Level of the home, there is comfortable L- Shaped Couch in the Living Room with a Roku-enabled TV and plenty of board games for those rainy days. There is also a very spacious King Size room off to the side. The fully renovated Kitchen has full-size appliances including a dishwasher. There is plenty of pantry space and coffee bar with a Keurig coffeemaker. Look at the side window and enjoy the street view from the bar area. The Dining Room can seat up to eight people. There is also one full bathroom with a tub downstairs.

The house is located near the Strand District. It is a 2 minute drive to the cruise terminal and about 5 minute drive to the beach. It is also two blocks away from the historic homes along Broadway including Ashton Villa and Moody Mansion. It is a great place to stay in Galveston due to the proximity to both the Strand, an area that has popular restaurants, bars, and museums, and the Seawall, a popular area with beachfront restaurants, rental services, bars, and of course, the be

Uber is a great way to get around town if you need a car. The local trolley also has stops throughout the Strand area and is a great way to explore the Historic District.
