Beautiful home in the historic district of Galveston. It’s one of the fortunate homes that survived the devastating 1900 Hurricane. House is decorated beautifully yet very homey. Kitchen was stocked with everything you could possibly need. We had a great Father’s Day weekend. Hope to back on the Island in the near future and will definitely check to see if this home is available first!

Absolutely gorgeous home! Complete Nancy-Meyer’s aesthetic It was wonderfully appointed and so charming. Everything we could possible need. I loved that coffee, creamer and bottled water were provided. Even with the warm weather, the breeze from the front porch swing was lovely. Thank you so much!

We had such a lovely stay at Pamela’s Paradise! Such a unique and charming property that is just darling inside and out! We loved the historic features of the house that have been preserved, such as the beautiful front door and porch, 12 foot ceilings with original moldings, and the gorgeous fireplace and mantle. The set up of the house was perfect for our group, but be aware that the family suite is up a flight of steep stairs, and the single bedroom, which is decorated adorably, serves as a pass through between the living area and dining room/kitchen. It’s a little quirky in the way old homes tend to be, but we loved the entire feel and charm of the house, and the bathrooms and kitchen are updated with all the modern conveniences. Rachel was easy to communicate with and the check in/out was seamless. We would 100% recommend and will absolutely stay here again!!

The best family getaway!

We loved our stay in this beautiful home! All of the accommodations were perfect for us (4 adults, 2 preschoolers), and all of the house's history and various little nooks provided an ongoing treasure hunt the whole time we were there. Loved walking to the park and to breakfast, and Rachel couldn't have been more responsive and helpful. Hoping we can come back again sometime!

Charming Victorian dream home in Galveston

From the moment we walked up to the front gate to experiencing the wonderful Victorian home in Galveston, our expectations were exceeded. The process of registration was flawless, the house was immaculate, the furnishings were tremendous, and the appointments were also fabulous. We so enjoyed our stay! it was a perfect Galveston getaway for our family. We definitely want to come again! The bonus for us was the fenced yard and pet friendly atmosphere for our Golden Doodle.

Always a pleasure staying here. Any questions are responded to in a promptly time.Forgot to review last year, but a storm came through and knocked power out to the house. Anyone could shrug it off as we did. Here? Nope!!! Got a text asking how we are doing and what can be done to help our stay.Always a great place to stay 3 years running!

Beautiful!!!

My family and I stayed in this beautiful home this past weekend as we were in town to welcome our newest grandson to this world. The house is just as described and was fully stocked with everything we needed. The location is awesome. We were so close to everything. There was a rolling power outage while we were there ***not the owners fault*** but Rachel was great at keeping us up to date on the status and it only lasted a few hours. All-in-all it was a great place and we would definitely rent again. Highly recommended.

A space out of the past

Rocking chairs on beautiful porches in a beautiful neighborhood to the take in shady breezes in the early mornings and late evenings were the best. They are accepting of pets and welcome them with treats and dog bowls. Human treats are abundant too. The house itself has plenty of room, plantation shutters everywhere to let in the light, a gorgeous, landscaped backyard secured with ground to seven to eight feet tall fencing. It’s one block off Broadway and about six blocks from the sea wall. It has all the modern conveniences while embracing its old world charm. We will book again.
