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!

Relaxation before our cruise

This house was comfortable, clean, beautiful and spacious!! My only complaint was the water pressure being low. Now I am keeping in mind, that the house is historic, it is part of the Galveston Historic District after all, I am only writing this so others will know what to expect. The house is beautifully restored. My family and I will treasure our memories for years to come.

Perfection

Great location in the historic district. Walked to coffee and strolled the neighborhood admiring the incredible homes. The home itself is immaculate and decorated simply, cleanly, beautifully AND comfortably. The millwork, doors, windows and staircases are works of art. Fun to sit on the front porch and enjoy the evening. We traveled with seniors, toddlers, and teens, and there were comfortable and appropriate accommodations for all. Nice assortment of books on the history of the area.

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.

The property is well maintained. The kitchen, dining area, living room, bedrooms and bathrooms are all spacious. The kitchen is stocked with spices, condiments and much more. The bathrooms have extra toiletries in case you forgot something. We had a great stay!! Restaurants are close and so is the beach. The hosts are amazing!! They checked on us often and were easy to contact.

Highly recommend!

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!

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.
