Among many of its Texas “firsts” (there are over 100), it had Texas’ first bank and first post office.

About Your Hosts
This is a mother (Shana), son (Cory) and daughter-in-law (Ashley) trio. We bought this home because we love to travel with our family and friends and this home is the perfect spot! If traveling in a small or large group, this home will do the hosting. Animals are an intricate part of our family, and they are always welcome in our homes.
Why Shana, Cory and Ashley chose Galveston:
As a family, our favorite vacations are warm weather, beach destinations, where we can relax and enjoy the surf and sun. This quaint island is a world of its own while being just a short drive from southern Texas and has all the amenities, attractions, and activities as the mainland.
