Your 1878 historic Shaw House awaits!

Recently renovated and beautifully refurbished, this charming Galveston residence, originally built in 1878, offers an inviting retreat for groups seeking an unforgettable getaway. Designed by Michael Shaw, the visionary who helped establish downtown's historic district known as The Strand, this home boasts a prime location near the ocean and numerous local attractions.
Located just a mile from the golden sands of Porretto Beach and seven miles from the family-friendly Moody Gardens, this home is an ideal base for enjoying a variety of Texan adventures. Spend your day kayaking in Offatts Bay or rent a jet ski for thrilling wave-jumping. Discover the latest exhibits at Moody Gardens and finish the day with an exhilarating ride down the waterslides at Schlitterbahn Waterpark.
After a day of excitement, unwind in the comfort of this welcoming home. The fully equipped kitchen is perfect for preparing snacks and meals, while central air-conditioning keeps the space cool. A private washer and dryer are available for your convenience, and the covered patio offers a relaxing spot to watch the kids play in the fenced yard.
Stay connected with complimentary WiFi as you plan your next adventure or catch up on sports scores with cable TV. Enjoy a cozy movie night with the Blu-ray player, or savor a quiet evening on the porch with a nightcap, enjoying time with loved ones.
For those eager to explore Galveston's rich history, nearby attractions like the iconic Moody Mansion and the stunning Bishop's Palace offer fascinating insights into the island's past. Step inside the Moody Mansion, a beautifully preserved 1895 estate, and admire its luxurious interiors and lush gardens, offering a glimpse into Galveston's opulent history. Or visit the awe-inspiring Bishop's Palace, also known as the Gresham House, renowned for its intricate architectural details and stunning stained glass windows. Immerse yourself in the grandeur and elegance of these historic treasures, each telling stories of a bygone era.
