Post Cruise stay and visiting Historic district.

The Mansion on 17th Street was awesome. It was right in the middle of the historic district and an easy walk to The Strand. Breakfast was made from scratch and excellent; the afternoon happy hour was fun to talk with other guests and staff about their cruises. The staff was very accommodating! Highly recommend!

AMAZING PLACE

I was going on a solo cruise and when I saw this beautiful property I booked it. I can't say enough about how wonderful my stay was, the woman there are so nice and a big thank you to Stephanie for all her help and being so sweet & friendly. Erin was so knowledgeable about the area, he gives a tour in the nicest car. The breakfast was made fresh and the pressed coffee was delicious. I would recommend this place to everyone and when I go back to Galveston would love to stay here again.
