About this house rental
Located in the center of Galveston's East End Historic District, close to all of the city's amenities (mostly walking distance) - beach, Strand, cruise ship seaports, coastal activities, shopping, tours, and loads of restaurants. This is a fully restored 1891 East Lake Victorian. 1512 Ball St. is over 3,600 sq ft. of large spaces for multiple families to gather. New kitchen with large range, dining spaces, large porches, and beautiful views of the city on one of the best blocks in East End.
As they used to build, all of the living/sleeping spaces are oversized. It includes 3 master suites (2 king and 1 beautiful double queen), with private remodeled bathrooms. The 4th bedroom has 2 double beds and a remodeled bathroom. One of the upstairs masters has a parlor with a very comfortable sectional sofa and TV for relaxing or sleeping. The downstairs master has a large PRIVATE office with a couch, fireplace, and super-fast Wi-Fi for people who need to be "connected". All mattresses, bedding, and towels are new. The kitchen is newly stocked with a 36" gas range/oven combo and a convection microwave. There is a large stone island and serving bar with bar stools to gather and make a meal. The pantry is an actual room with an additional fridge, so you won't have to worry about having enough space for storing food/drinks. The large dining table seats 10 with a powder bath nearby. This is all part of the "great room" for family gatherings. There is a comfortable reading nook for a quiet moment. 4 oversized rocking chairs on the porch to oversee the city views and enjoy the sea breeze. The decor is a mix of old Victorian, Coastal, with Modern Comforts (probably best described by the pictures). The ocean is a few blocks away in two different directions from the house. The famous Galveston strand is walking distance from another direction which boasts coastal view restaurants, shopping, ice cream / candy shops, and popular tourist activities. Please check to see if the Old Opera House has anything playing you would enjoy, it is a beautiful experience. Large grass yard for cooking out. Golf carts are available for delivery. There is plenty of free parking both in the front and off-street parking via private driveway in the back of the house.

Our stay at Ball St. Manor was once again absolutely wonderful. This was our third time staying here, and it continues to exceed our expectations every time. Traveling with a group of five adults, one senior, and two dogs can sometimes be a challenge, but this home accommodates everyone comfortably and effortlessly.The house itself is a beautiful historical property, full of charm and character, yet thoughtfully updated with everything you need for a relaxing and convenient stay. The décor is tasteful and inviting, creating a warm atmosphere that instantly makes you feel at home. Every detail has been carefully considered, from the well-equipped kitchen to the comfortable living spaces and bedrooms.We especially appreciate how welcoming the home is for pets—it truly allows the whole family to be included, which makes the experience even more special.Over the course of our three visits, we’ve created so many meaningful memories here, and it has become a place we genuinely look forward to returning to. Ball St. Manor holds a special place for us, and we can’t recommend it highly enough to anyone looking for a memorable and comfortable getaway.

It was the perfect house for our group of 7 women! We stayed only one night and all said we would have come in one day earlier just to enjoy the house. The beds were comfortable and the linens were clean! The entire house was clean. We needed linens for one of the sofas, had to text to find their location, was answered very quickly. Having been to Galveston a number of times before, we were ready to go to the Sunflower for breakfast but decided to take a restaurant recommendation listed in the house information. We went to ShyKatz. Very good food, we will go back!

This historic Galveston home is a treasure. We enjoyed stepping back in time, with all the comforts of a modern home. Plenty of space for our family. Kitchen was huge with everything you need. Host was amazing and provided wonderful suggestions for activities and dining. We hope to return! Thank you!!

Beautiful house in a great neighborhood! My extended family stayed here for Thanksgiving and had a wonderful time. The 4 full bathrooms were perfect and the large kitchen worked great for cooking for a group. Enjoyed walking to the Strand and seawall. Would love to stay again!
