Stunning!

Mary Ellen has a beautiful home. We each had our own room. We had 5 people staying here and the foods available for breakfast were so very good! We loved the quaint decorations!! It was very nice and comfy. The bed was super comfortable to sleep in. The shower had great pressure. The table was beautiful! I loved the sitting room. I can't wait to come back again and stay here.

Comfortable historic home

This cute and comfortable home was perfect for our stay in Galveston for a family event. It was just the right size for our party of 5 adults. It had a warm and cozy vibe with plenty of stained glass lamps to give you that hygge feeling. The home was packed to the brim with period antiques, and yet didn’t feel too cramped to move around. That said, I wouldn’t bring any rowdy youngsters to stay here. For our group, it was perfect, and the management could not have been more helpful and friendly.
