Wow!! What a great stay and what a beautiful house! Everything was perfect. Not only were the hosts incredibly communicative but also so accommodating with early/late check-out. The house was just as stunning as the pictures and the beds were so comfortable. Couldn’t have asked for a better or more joyful place to celebrate the upcoming marriage of one of my friends.

Beautiful historical home!

We loved staying in this grand olde home. We were here to tour a little bit of Galveston before our cruise. It’s a perfect location and the host were lovely. We accidentally messed up the front door lock and they were quick to respond. I would definitely stay here again.

Christmas at the Belle on Ball Street

Our second stay at The Belle was just what we needed for our annual birthdays and Christmas gathering! This historic home is beautiful and comfortable. The owners provide detailed notes about the property along with thorough check-in/check-out guidance, and are quickly responsive with any questions that may arise. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking needs. And the front porch is wonderful for morning coffee!

Perfect Place for Family Gathering

Three generations of our 8 person family stayed very comfortably. Love the the converted attic into bedroom where the older kids felt like they were in their own apartment. Kitchen had absolutely everything we needed to make our meals. Great location close to the strand and cruise port. The house is beautiful, rich with history yet has all the modern necessities for comfort and convenience.

This is our fourth year in a row to stay at homes owned by these hosts. They are awesome! We always bring our kids and grandkids, and it’s so fun to all stay under one roof. The house is always clean, beautifully furnished, and is an easy walk to the beach, or a very short drive. Can’t wait for next year!
