Beautiful Bed & Breakfast! I loved the authentic Victorian architecture and decor. The concierge, Aaron, was very helpful and kind. The B & B offers a mini-fridge and microwave in the cocktail room for guest usage, complimentary wine & beer each evening, and a delicious cooked to order breakfast each morning. Would highly recommend this quaint location for anyone wanting to truly experience Galveston!
