About this property

Bamboo & Clover - Historic Galveston Cottage

  • Bamboo and Clover is a historic Galveston cottage that has stood strong since 1900, offering classic island character in a central location near downtown and a short drive to the beach. This single-level home is a great fit for couples, friends, and small families who want a comfortable place to recharge between island adventures.
    One of the home’s most memorable touches is the patch of four-leaf clovers imported from Ireland, marked with a sign and set up as a fun photo spot in the backyard.
