This house is listed as a Texas State Landmark and built in 1886, so it is historically beautiful!!!! We were all older adults 40 yrs old so we were all amazed with its beauty. The owner/property manager was quick to answer any and all questions. We had a small little issue with lights in the downstairs bathroom going out. I messaged them and asked where the spare bulbs were kept. She answered back immediately. Turned out that it wasn’t the bulb it was a breaker in the breaker box. Messaged back and she immediately let me know where to find the panel. Like I said everything for us was perfect. Even the next door neighbor was nice and friendly. We chatted with him several times and his dog Gracie was the sweetest. I would say that this property would NOT be kid friendly at all. I say this only because there are sooooo many antique and authentic pieces in this home that were look with your eyes but don’t touch them…..that would not be conducive to children. Additionally, the elevator was the same way…. Do not use. So if you have trouble climbing stairs, this would also not be well suited for you. It was perfect for us but we knew what we were renting for the weekend. Would absolutely stay here again in the future.

Historic home was fabulous! We stayed for a wedding weekend for our niece and it held our entire family easily. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out . The kitchen is great, my grands absolutely loved the firetruck bed! Location was walking distance to everything. Highly recommend. Would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful historic house in Galveston's East End. Loved it. The family was very comfortable there, enjoyed the Viking Stove and warming drawer, made homemade pastries and bread everyday.

Truly amazing to be able to stay in a home like this. Prime location, quick walk to the beach or to the Strand. The house is the ultimate backdrop for pictures with impressive furnishings and antique artifacts. We can’t wait to schedule a return trip

My book club wanted to read a book and then travel to the city in which the book was set. Our book was Isaac’s Storm about the hurricane of 1900 that was so devastating to Galveston. Discussing the book and the storm along with watching a documentary on the storm was even more compelling in this home that was built in 1886 because we knew that it had withstood the storm. The interior of this home is stunning, filled with beautiful antique furniture that would look huge in an ordinary house but fit perfectly in the large rooms of The Sonnenthiel Home. The location was convenient to both the Seawall and The Strand, the beds were comfy, and the kitchen well stocked ( except for salt and pepper and dishwasher detergent.) Highly recommend, especially if you love historic homes!

As a family we’ve visited Galveston for more than 50 years and this was the first time we “lived” in one of the islands historic mansions. It was truly a great experience relaxing on the front gallery waving to neighbors, watching the littles in the front yard play lawn games. The weather couldn’t have been better and we look forward to our next stay.

The house was beautiful and loaded with history. We had a lovely birthday dinner with our closest friends, and enjoyed the beach as well as a night out on the Strand. Great weekend!

Few of the soccer families stayed here for a tournament we were having. Ten minutes from where we played and just right in the middle of wherever we needed to go. Was an amazing stay and the house was just historic and too cool. Owners were amazing and very accommodating to our every need. Thank y’all for a great time.

Sonnentheil House is simply amazing and the pictures just don't do it justice. We spent lots of time in the kitchen at the large table together while we cooked. In the evenings we enjoyed drinks and cigars on the porch, took advantage of the large propane bbq pit out back for burgers and brats. Conveniently located smack dab between the beach for daytime fun and the Strand for shopping, eats, and nightlife. Highly suggest Vargas Cut and Catch if you're looking for a night of find dining. Thank you very much for a terrific stay in Galveston TX!

We were all impressed with the property. The location is in walking distance to The Strand and Harborside. This made it a great stay as we were able to come and go as we wanted. The house is amazing. We have already booked the dates for 2024.
