Dickinson, TX has some luxurious, worthwhile bed-and-breakfast style hotels made from historical structures or on beautiful land (sometimes both). If you want to take someone special on the perfect getaway trip, or if you’re just especially picky on lodgings, these places will not disappoint. They’re organized from lowest to highest average room price, and there are options for almost every budget.

Come Friday Cottages on The Bay

Located on Bayshore Drive, Come Friday Cottages has amenities that range from practical (microwaves) to romantic (fireplaces). There are free fresh-baked muffins every day, and tons to do thanks to the bay and nearby golf courses. Some rooms at Come Friday Cottages are as low as $90 per night, making it one of the most affordable ways to get serene views of the bay and short piers.

Beacon Hill Bed and Breakfast

Loved by honeymooners, the views at Beacon Hill match the varied and lovely interiors. The grounds have an overall feel of a good-sized house repurposed by passionate owners into a special stop for travelers. What’s more, the breakfast served every morning is hot and classic, going well beyond cereal and other cold continental fare. Rooms at Beacon Hill Bed and Breakfast start at around $100 per night, but don’t typically reach $200.

The Old Parsage Guest House

With only two rooms, the Old Parsage Guest House is a smaller home similar to an Airbnb deal, but with a more professional focus on service and satisfaction. Like at Beacon Hill, this is literally a house, so don’t expect a pool or spa, but this place will perfectly suit couples or visitors with a distaste for the busy hotel environment. Rooms at the Old Parsage go for $105 or more, a very reasonable rate for a place this quaint and cozy.

La Maison in Midtown

La Maison in Midtown: an Urban Bed and Breakfast is a well-priced hotel with stellar reviews. With its great views of downtown and huge buildings, it makes for a popular business lodging, but the main inspiration is a personal stay in a beautiful part of Dickinson. The rooms have a lot of detail and variety in their structure and furnishings, so there’s no problem coming back for a second or third visit. La Maison’s rooms begin around $160 per night.

Coppersmith Inn Bed and Breakfast

Take a short trip to Galveston Island for what might be the best rooms for a down-to-earth couple in the entire state. This B&B oozes personality on the inside and out, with wildly different rooms and an exterior harkening back to 1887. Despite being a smaller, historical home, there is one in-room whirlpool spa for two at one of the bookings. Coppersmith Inn Bed and Breakfast has rooms starting at $160 per night, with the nicest rooms reaching just past $200.

With these lovely places in mind, remember that you don’t have to go into the heart of Houston to find a hotel with the impeccable service and smaller charm of a bed-and-breakfast. There are many hotels close to or directly within the Dickinson area, so keep an eye out!
