The house is so charming, beautiful, cozy, clean, and well stocked with everything a family needs. It is apparent that the owners truly care about the home and their guests. We have stayed in several houses in Galveston and this one is by far our favorite. We made more great family memories while there…and that’s what it’s all about. Thank you for opening up your perfect home for others to enjoy.

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.

Madi and Grandma & Grandpa: special time

The Belle is outstanding! Galveston has been a bi-annual destination for us for about 35 years. The San Luis received most of my business. We rented houses & condos on the West End and Pirate’s Cove. NOTHING compares to The Bell!! Extraordinary comfort, beauty, nostalgia and history describe The Belle. And location! The Belle is perfectly located to enjoy EVERYTHING that Galveston offers. The host and hostess are superb in creating a holiday haven getaway! My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Many heartfelt thanks to the host & hostess.

It was a beautiful home with modern upgrades and original architecture and other beautiful surprises. I wish we could have been here more than one night. We enjoyed the games that were there for our use, put together a puzzle, enjoyed family time together, time at the nearby beach, and it was perfectly situated to board our cruise the next morning.

Belle-tastic!!

Our family of 10 was able to make The Belle of the Ball Street our home for our stay. Everyone in our party was stunned at the beauty of the property and the quality of the amenities. The elegant and perfectly restored Victorian architecture swept us away into another world, while the modern amenities kept us grounded in ours. The hosts of the property are exceptionally hospitable, even when compared to other Vrbo hosts. One of our family members forgot their tuxedo at the property, and the hosts held onto it until we were able to pick it up. Considering our previous experiences with Vrbo properties, the hosts’ dedication to excellence and the guest experience is exceptional. Wonderful property and hosts, we will be staying again if we are in the area.
