We stayed here last night and just fell in love with everything about this place. The staff were amazing, the breakfast was incredible and our room and the rest of the property stunning. Comfiest bed and sheets. We did a tour with Aaron and learned all about the area and its fascinating history. 10/10 recommend and we will be back!

The Mansion on 17th was an incredible getaway for me and my husband. It is probably one of the best stays on the Island. The breakfast was phenomenal, the staff is fantastic and attentive and the property is beautiful. Social hour was fun and drinks were great! Only issue was the tvs in the bedroom not working properly but definitely not a reason not to return!, and I’m sure they are working on fixing the problem. We will most certainly be returning for future island stays!!

Great Customer Service

Shortly after booking this stay, a representative from the property reached out and introduced themselves and they stayed in contact up until the day I was to stay. They helped me find transportation to Galveston from Houston. Unfortunately the day I was supposed to arrive, my flight from DFW to Bush was canceled! But, my sister was able to make it and said everything at the Mansion on 17th was wonderful! Staff was upset about my situation and showed genuine concern. I hate I missed my stay there but I am glad my sister had a great experience. If I’m ever in Galveston or go on another cruise, I’ll definitely book again, and hopefully get to actually stay!

Cruise stay

1 night stay before a cruise vacation. Very old and historic home that has been well maintained. Service was excellent and the breakfast was excellent. Very close to the cruise terminal.
