Calico Cottage

Calico Cottage, located in the Historic Lost Bayou Neighborhood of Galveston’s East End, was built in the 1870’s. It has been featured twice on the Galveston Historic Foundation’s Historic Homes Tour and the Clean Galveston Committee’s Garden Tour. Easy walking distance to the Seawall, Galvez Hotel, the Historic Pleasure Pier and several popular restaurants. Going towards downtown the Bryan Museum is two blocks away. The Strand and 21st and Post Office Restaurants, as well as the Harborside Restaurants and Museums, are a short bicycle (or golf cart) ride away. Calico Cottage is centrally located for guest to go to the beach or attend any number of Galveston’s festivals or events that occur on an almost weekly basis.

A classic Victorian stairway leads to a front porch perfect for enjoying a quiet morning cup of coffee. Through the front door there is a dining area to the left with a table that seats eight. To the right is a large living area with a coffee table large enough for everyone to join in family game night or jigsaw puzzles. The hall, with two bedrooms on either side leads to the kitchen with counter seating. The kitchen, equipped with modern appliances and utensils, was designed by the owner to fit the needs of foodies who enjoy cooking. A French door leads to an airy screened porch, excellent for after meal gatherings or entertaining. Through the screen door there is a large open deck and backyard with two hand laid brick patios. The outdoor shower is a refreshing end to a day at the beach.

Calico Cottage is perfect for a romantic getaway or multi-generational family gatherings. This home is warm and inviting in a great location – a place you will want to come back again and again.
