Circa 1908
About This Property
Welcome to Circa 1908, a Galveston retreat made for slowing down and soaking it all in, just a short stroll from the sand.
From the moment you arrive, this home is designed to help you relax and feel at home from day one, with fresh, thoughtful spaces made for gathering, unwinding, and making the most of your time on the island. Whether you're planning a beach getaway, a celebration with family, or a trip built around one of Galveston's signature events — Mardi Gras, Dickens on the Strand, Motorcycle Weekend, or simply a relaxed escape with the people you love — Circa 1908 is designed to make arriving, unwinding, and staying awhile feel easy.
Step outside to your own private, heated pool, the perfect spot to rinse off the sand and unwind after a day at the beach or exploring the island. Inside, the first-floor primary suite offers a quiet retreat of its own, complete with an ensuite bathroom and a rainfall showerhead that turns an ordinary morning into something special.
Just 0.3 miles from the front door, the Seawall is an easy walk away, making it simple to reach the beach, dinner, or sunset without ever needing a car.
Whatever brings you to Galveston, Circa 1908 is ready to welcome you home.

Attractions & Things To Do
Galveston Island is packed with adventure, history, and fun — here's a taste of what's waiting just outside your door.
Moody Gardens
Three glass pyramids housing a rainforest, aquarium, and discovery museum — plus a water park and IMAX theater. A full day of wonder for every age.
Pleasure Pier
A classic amusement park perched right over the Gulf of Mexico. Rides, games, and Gulf breezes make this a must-do evening out on the island.
The Strand Historic District
Galveston's crown jewel of Victorian architecture. Browse boutique shops, art galleries, and some of the best restaurants on the island along these iconic streets.
Galveston Ghost Tours
One of America's most haunted cities comes alive after dark. Guided walking tours weave through centuries of eerie history — not for the faint of heart.
Mardi Gras Celebrations
The second-largest Mardi Gras in the US erupts every February with parades, live music, and street parties. Plan ahead — this one sells out fast.
Schlitterbahn Waterpark
A legendary Texas waterpark with thrilling slides, lazy rivers, and wave pools. The perfect way to cool off on a hot Galveston afternoon.
Galveston's Museums
From the Bishop's Palace to the Texas Seaport Museum and the Ocean Star Offshore Drilling Rig, Galveston's rich history is on full display across a dozen world-class museums.
East Beach & Stewart Beach
Two of the Gulf Coast's most beloved stretches of sand, both just minutes away. Rent a cabana, splash in the waves, or simply soak up the sun.
