We found coastal dreams on the website,it looked great.When we got there it was even better. Lana greated us with a big smile and because we were late arriving, gave us supper in our room so we did not have to drive downtown after a 10 hour flight.It is a beautiful house in a nice place and our stay was brilliant.Great breakfast and a clean,comfortable room.We will tell everyone who wants to come to Galveston where they should stay.

The inn was immaculate. There was a welcome note with cookies and chocolates awaiting us in our room. The bed was exceptionally comfy. My husband, who usually wakes during the night, did not wake at all. Lana printed our Southwest Airlines boarding pass for us as soon as possible to assure we received "A" status. Breakfast was delicious and more than ample. Although we did not use the pool it looked very inviting. Lana was very helpful in helping us plan our visit by suggesting restaurants and sites which would fit our lifestyle and interests. Staying with Lana is a great value. We would stay here again.

My wife planned our Anniversary this year and surprised me with a stay at this wonderful BnB. I was overly impressed with the charm and beautiful atmosphere of the home. Lana certainly knows how to make peaople feel welcome with a personalized welcome card and fresh baked cookies. The breakfast was wonderful and the pool was fabulous. We are already planning a return trip! Thanks Lana!!!!

A great place to celebrate a romantic weekend! We stayed in the Gulf Room and were very comfortable. The house is beautiful and Lana makes you feel right at home, plus her stuffed French toast is to die for! The pool outback is a definite plus... we had the perfect weekend of doing absolutely nothing! We will surely return!

My wife and I stayed at Coastal Dreams in Galveston June 19th to 23rd,2009. The house is a lovely home built around the turn of the century. The home is decorated with antiques it is clean, the paint is fresh and our host Lana was egger to make our stay the best in any way possible. Lana made a wonderful LARGE gourmet breakfast and even accommodated our vegetarian diet along with the other guests meal that included “Mile High” baked eggs, fresh fruit, muffins, coffee, juice, bacon and link sausage. Galveston is on the rebound from hurricane “Ike” and the area has made amazing strides to rebuild their community. The beaches were clean. There was little storm damage still remaining. This is a real “Pull your self up by your boot straps community”. I highly recommend your next weekend or vacation be in Galveston Texas at the Coastal Dreams Bed and Breakfast. We had a great time. Yours truly, Phillip and Elizabeth

We chose to tour Texas for a second honeymoon while we were expecting our first baby. In our two weeks away from home, Coastal Dreams was definitely the highlight! The food was delicious and the company delightful. Being six months pregnant, I was expecting discomfort as a matter of course, but the beds were so comfortable! Our hostess could not be more accommodating. Two kids later, we cannot wait to get back to Coastal Dreams for some more alone time!

We stay at this lovely B&B every year when we're in Galveston for the AIA Sandcastle Competition. The rooms are lovely, the beds comfortable, the breakfasts elegant and wonderful! The innkeeper sets out snacks and hot water for tea or cocoa in the evenings, which is always appreciated at about 10 p.m.! The backyard pool is beautiful -- a real oasis. The Atlantic Room has extra amenities, like a small kitchen and refrigerator, if you plan to stay longer and would like to keep and reheat leftovers from some of Galveston's great restaurants. We always feel so comfortable and well cared-for at Coastal Dreams and look forward to our stay every year.

We had a wonderful experience at Coastal Dreams. The food was out of this world....Lana was awesome, extremely friendly and hospitable. She helped us make friends everyday at the breakfast table and told us about local flair and restaurants. She was most helpful. Galveston is a favorite place of mine to visit and she made it very ENJOYABLE!!!

We stayed 2 nights and were very pleased. there were fresh cookies and delicious chocolates to greet us (and that came standard with the rm, no upgrades!). there were free sodas in the upstairs little community rm with boardgames and dvds. our room was spacious and the bed was very inviting. lana and pokey were an absolute treasure and we plan on going back and staying here again!i have to admit i was a little leary of staying in a b and b but we were pleasantly surprised with everything! Breakfast was great and you can tell lana works very hard to make sure every little detail is perfect.

Lana is a wonderful hostess & terrific cook! Her restoration of this beautiful home is amazing. She made our January stay a great experience in spite of not so great weather & we were pleasantly surprised, contrary to the news reports, that Galveston Island was still intact after the 2008 Hurricane. We would highly recommend Coastal Dreams to any future guests. Bill & Polly

We booked a room the night before our cruise and were just very pleased with the room - cheese and wine and breakfast the next morning. Lana was a wonderful hostess and we will definitely stay again the next time we are in Galveston.

What a nice reception after a long drive. We were greeted by Lana and made to feel like we were old friends from the very first. Our rooms were large and comfortable and the breakfast was outstanding. We will come again to Costal Dreams...Barbara & Roy

We loved our recent stay at Coastal Dreams! Lana was wonderful. One day while we were playing in the ocean our car key was stolen (first time in many years of Galveston trips). Lana was a total lifesaver, bringing our extra car key from our room to the beach. We highly recommend this B&B.

Our three night stay was very relaxing on the extra thick and "comfy" mattress. It was so-o-o quiet you didn't think anyone else were in the other rooms. The room was very nicely decorated and had all the essentials in the bathroom you might have forgotten to pack. The breakfasts were wonderful with plenty to eat. Lana was very gracious and made everyone feel at home. Would return again. Burr & Dee

Great old Galveston home serving as a neat, out of the way B&B. Arrived to Lana's greeting and warm hospitality. Great private room, nice touches like a welcome card in the room. Will be staying there again when travel finds us in Galveston. Much better than the local hotels and always fun to meet new people at breakfast! Give it a shot. You'll be glad you did.

Our stay was wonderful! It made for a relaxing anniversary trip. The house is beautiful and very well kept. Lana was friendly and very helpful with things to see and places to go in Galveston. We were very sad to go after being there for a week. It sure felt like home! Thanks Lana!

I attended a conference in March and due to my late booking, the Moody Gardens Hotel was full. I found Coastal Dreams and wouldn't even CONSIDER staying at a hotel again in Galveston. It was an amazing experience! Lana provided first-class service and went above and beyond to accommodate my early morning meetings. She even had coffee ready for me every morning at 6 a.m. I told her it wasn't necessary but she insisted. I just cannot ever thank her enough for all of the nice touches. I left there feeling I had made a friend. Breakfast was outstanding! (One morning I had to be at my meeting too early to join the others and she made me a delicious breakfast to go!) I stayed in the Gulf room and enjoyed the comfortable bed and pillows that I wished I could take home with me. The free wifi was one more added bonus! I'll NEVER forget my experience and highly recommend this place to all travelers.

It was Jeremy & I's first stay at a B&B & now we will always try to stay at a B&B instead of a hotel if they are anything like Coastal Dreams B&B and Lana, our hostess. I suprised Jeremy with a Wine & Cheese package. Lana was very discreet about the charges and tried to set the mood for us. She even accomodated our very late arrival & worked with me on making sure the Wine & Cheese suprise was fresh on our arrival. The wine was perfect - could not have chosen a better wine! The cheese...well, it was so good we had to ask what kind it was. The grapes were delicious! And the presentation was immaculate. Breakfast was great & the home was magnificent. The bedroom was elegantly decorated with just the right touches. If we are in Galveston, we know where we will be staying!!!!

A weekend getaway to Galveston was even more fantastic because we carefully researched a few B&Bs. Had a good feeling about Coastal Dreams. We were at peace and it felt like Heaven. Eveything far exceeded our expectations. It was great! Thanks Lana!

Coastal Dreams exceeded our expectations. A fantastic house with accommodations that just have to be seen and experienced. Completing our enjoyable stay was the warmth and graciousness of our hostess, Lana Lander, whose hospitality and warmth was abundant and sincere.

Lana Lander, owner, operator, cook, has done a great job in making our stay at a B&B a most memorable experience. The food was divine! The pool/spa was nice to relax and excercise. And directions and recommendations were on target of what to see and do in Galveston. Thanks!!!!

Lana immediately made at ease and we felt like spoiled children in our own home! She is a wonderful chef and a great hostess. Coastal Dreams was clean & homey, relaxing & lively..definite recommended if you are looking for a place to stay away from the seawall in Galveston.

We enjoyed our stay at Coastal Dreams in March 2007. The historic home is beautifully maintained and has many personal touches and decorative detail to add to the charm. Breakfast was delicious and served in an elegant dining room. Lana, our hostess, was very friendly and it was a pleasure to chat with her. We have stayed in many B&Bs in Canada and Europe, and Coastal Dreams rates with the best of them. Coastal Dreams will continue to be a success.

My boyfriend and I stayed at Coastal Dreams and had a great time. Lana wasn't the nicest of people but, we didn't go there to talk to her. I need to say that if you like really sugary breakfast foods then it'll be right up your alley. The pool is really nice and everything was really close by.

My husband and I visited Coastal Dreams in November and had a wonderful,romantic weekend. The room was gorgeous and so very comfortable and the breakfast was fantastic. It is enjoyable to see how homes were constructed over 100 years ago and this house has original hardwood floors in most rooms and stained glass windows. The innkeeper,Lana, was so very helpful when we had questions regarding the life of the house or just where to go for an evening out. We will definitely return.
