Zimmermannshaus

About

Built in 1878, Zimmermannshaus is at the edge of the Lost Bayou Historic District. Four blocks from the beach and another nine from The Strand, it’s conveniently located close to everything Galveston has to offer.

The three-bedroom, two-bathroom 1900 Storm Survivor house was constructed by a German carpenter, and the wood flooring, window sills, and kitchen ceiling are original. Offered as a short-term rental for guests near and far who want to experience old-world craftsmanship with modern comforts, it can accommodate up to 12 people.

The home features a fully stocked kitchen, top-of-the-line appliances, smart television, high-speed wifi, full-size washer and dryer, and an expansive outdoor deck with chairs. A tankless water heater means plenty of warm showers and baths. With everything you need for a memorable vacation, all you have to do is kick back and relax.

One upstairs guest bedroom contains two full beds, while the other has two full beds and a trundle daybed with two twins. The first-floor primary bedroom has a king bed with a comfortable SEAQUAL™ mattress, which is made from recycled marine litter.

At Zimmermannshaus, we’re passionate about Galveston Bay. Stay with us to see bottlenose dolphins on a harbor cruise tour or migratory birds at the beaches and wetlands. If luck prevails, maybe you’ll catch a glimpse of an endangered sea turtle nesting in the sand. Those up for adventure should check out the tall ship Elissa. This three-masted barque is one of the oldest ships sailing today.

Just outside Zimmermannshaus is a bike path that extends from bay to beach. It provides easy access to restaurants, the Pleasure Pier, Fisherman’s Wharf, and the East End Historic District, which contains many historically significant and architecturally stunning buildings. Examples include Bishop’s Palace, Moody Mansion, Ashton Villa, and the Old Red Museum. Stroll down these streets, and you’ll see homes with elaborate Greek Revival and Victorian architecture.

A short drive away is Moody Gardens, Schlitterbahn Galveston, and the Galveston Naval Museum, which offer incredible experiences for children and the young at heart. Galveston Island State Park and other stretches of beach are not too much farther.
