Historic home close to beaches, restaurants, local area attractions, one of a kind!

Immerse yourself in the rich history of Galveston at the Gilbert House, designated a City of Galveston Historic Landmark in June 2017. Marvel at the original architectural details, including the quaint porch, hardwood floors, and vintage fixtures that evoke the elegance of a bygone era.

Retreat to one of two cozy bedrooms, each adorned with antique furnishings, plush bedding, and a touch of coastal flair to ensure a peaceful night's sleep after a day of seaside adventures.

The Gilbert House provides easy access to endless days of fun, relaxation, and beachcombing along the picturesque Gulf Coast.

Step outside and bask in the beauty of the lush, landscaped yard surrounding the cottage. With ample space for outdoor games, outdoor dining, and stargazing under the Texas sky, the spacious yard is the perfect setting for unforgettable moments with family and friends.

Additional Fees may apply when reserving add-ons to your reservation.

Historic House
The house is awesome (built in 1913); it has a historical marker on the front porch. Great recliner couches. Nice kitchen. The location is great for visiting all the places to go in Galveston. The only concern I had was the traffic noise on Avenue O.

Beautiful Home just loved the tub
We accidentally got locked out because the code was on my phone and I locked the door and forgot my phone. The person on chat helped me get back in. Thank YOU I loved the house and the detail w the shiplap, plantation shutters and the beds were awesome. The sofas were wonderful and I would love to have them as well. The Master is precious and I hope to get the same rate when I come back! Thank you for a wonderful stay.
