The mansion itself was beautiful but the staff was phenomenal! Rick was amazing from the moment we booked our stay. In fact he personally called me a week or so before we came to tell me my card on file with Expedia didn’t seem to go through.

We got messages with directions and what to expect with details about complimentary...

Two minutes from the beach and two minutes from the Strand. This beautiful old house has an amazing outdoor seating area that is very romantic and comfortable. We enjoyed the company and the food is amazing. The rooms are all very authentic and the beds are very comfortable. I've stayed here before and I will stay here again!

We wanted to stay close to the airport (Hobby) so we went with this place. The only hard park was crossing the oncoming traffic to get to the hotel. Didn’t realize it was in a secluded area. The room was nice and clean.

Amazing property. So unique and beautiful. There think of everything beach chairs, food, drinks pool. For someone traveling to Galveston from out of town they had everything we needed to relax and enjoy our stay. Highly recommend
