About this house rental
Whimsy is a charming Craftsman bungalow. Built in 1922, it is one of Galveston's historic gems, designated as a City of Galveston landmark and the only bungalow featured on the Galveston Historical Homes Tour in 2022.
It boasts light-filled spaces, vintage details and an interior decor that is bright and cheerful and downright fun!
The bungalow showcases a comfy, chic Boho style and provides the perfect setting for enjoying colorful times on the island.
Inside the bungalow, you'll find a living room, dining room, sunroom (with a double bed), two large bedrooms (with a total of three queen beds), large and updated bathroom and a uniquely rustic kitchen. There, you will appreciate the exposed brick post, original shiplap walls and custom-made wood cabinets, counters and backsplash.
The bathroom features original tile floors, a large walk-in shower and custom-made wood shower enclosure.
The bungalow also has a large front porch and a fenced and palm-shaded backyard with an outdoor shower and large wood deck, complete with a gas grill, picnic table, Adirondeck chairs and tables, and a classic Coca-Cola cooler for icing down your favorite beverages.
Whimsy is located just eight blocks from the beach. It is equally convenient to Pleasure Pier, Moody Gardens and The Strand, with all its shops, restaurants and entertainment venues.

This is our second time staying at the Bungalow and it feels like home. We enjoyed our 4th of July on the Seawall. We will be back. Thanks

Bungalow by the Beach, also named "Whimsy," is a treasure. It was built in 1922 and offers a rich history, evident in every room of the house. Beverly is a gracious host, providing not only the essentials, but many extra goodies as well, like a kitchen stocked with condiments, a spice rack, every utensil you could want, and a treat basket to delight the young and old. The bungalow is immaculately clean and beautifully appointed - not just a place to sleep, but a place to relax and enjoy. How I wish we had had more time - we will definitely return.Thank you, Beverly, for sharing this wonderful home!
