    We had a great time in Galveston at the Lost Bayou. The property is in a great central location. The old house is beautiful and well maintained. The breakfast was fantastic, and Phil is a wonderful host. We would love to return again to Lost Bayou.


    perfect place for an anniversary getaway!

    This was the place where we celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary. It was really quaint place for an overnight getaway! Very polite but unobtrusive owners. The continental breakfast was ideal for breakfast in bed.

    This is one of the few B&Bs in Galveston that will take a single-night reservation on a weekend. My husband volunteered all day aboard the Elissa tall ship, handling both maintenance and sail training. So he popped back to the Lost Bayou -- Elissa room, of course -- for a shower (water-saving shower heads are necessary, but frustrating!) before our night out. We came back later to a comfy bed and A/C we could adjust ourselves. Phil provided a tasty continental breakfast on Sunday morning based on our choices the night before, and he spent some time telling us about the house and things happening in the area.


    Delightful visit at Lost Bayou Guesthouse

    The "community room" was nicely stocked with sodas, juices, bottled water, fresh fruits, teas, chips, and chocolate cake! Sitting area was comfortable. We really appreciated this cozy room and snacks as a nice place to gather at the end of the day.
