This place was great for our group getaway. Very spacious and neat, plenty of street parking. Communication with the owner was quick and efficient. Would definitely stay here again.
We were in town for a wedding and this was a great location. It is on a main road, but we never had issues getting out of the house. Close to a ton of restaurants.
We needed a place to sleep the night before our cruise set sail. The two bathrooms were a great bonus! The one to the back of the place was huge and since we were all family, more than one could be drying hair or putting on makeup at a time. Communicating with Ruth was very easy and she was timely. Would definately recommend!
Everything was great with the house,it is very lovely, the only thing I did not like was that I was not informed their was a person living underneath so we had to limit our noise as to not bother them
The house was clean and comfortable, great for a little family trip. The kitchen was well stocked and they provided coffee which was nice. The host Ruth was helpful with any questions. We enjoyed our stay for a few days while the family had fun at the beach.
Excellent accommodations! Very quick response to questions. Check in process very easy. However, air conditioning went out our first night in the July heat. I did wait until 7 oâclock the next morning to notify the owner. They were very quick to respond and did have air conditioning back on within approximately six hours of notification. Rental 2 nightsâŠ.so 42 hours and was without AC for approximately half of that. Granted, once owner was notified, it was only about six hours. However, I do feel some sort of reimbursement should have been provided. Multiple attempts made, and owner declined.
THE guest enjoyed the cottage. They used the living room TV.
Only problem we had was cooking. The pots and pans were not big enough for what we cooked.
However we managed.
Thanks for the fun time.
Really nice accommodation for the seven of us. We stayed prior to our cruise and it was an awesome place. The only thing I would recommend is larger soft blankets, although being in Texas you donât usually need blankets!
Smartly updated two bedroom house not far from the seawall. Very clean and fresh. Great for couple or smaller group. Two bathrooms were a plus. We would stay again without hesitation.
We had an absolute wonderful time staying at this house. A close walk to the Seawall, beach, water and plenty of restaurants. The house is well stocked, communication was excellent and the neighbors was quiet. would highly recommend staying here.
Super clean home with friendly, fast communication with the host. Location is close to groceries, restaurants, etc, but located on a pretty busy road with not much to view from the balconies. Maybe this is a common thing for Galveston cottages, but the big drawback for us was that all the windows were shuttered at least halfway or all the way from the outside. Luckily we werenât in the house much during the day. The house is clean and painted brightly, but if you want to let light in, this wouldnât be the house for you. Otherwise, 5 stars!
Overall, the property was great! Very cute, updated and clean! Our only issue was finding it in the dark. Our map was indicating the property was in the prior block and it was very tough to see any addresses in dark. Had to call property manager, but she was very helpful! Overall, five stars! She also allowed us a late checkout before we left on cruise!
We stayed here (myself, my husband, our 9, 8 and almost 2 year old) for a weekend. It was a great location for the beach, restaurants, the pleasure pier, and Moody Gardens. The house was so lovely, had wonderful amenities and was exactly as described. The communication with our host, Ruth, was wonderful as well. We would definitely stay here again!
The roomy property had everything we needed for us and our daughterâs family. Tvâs in every room, great kitchen, separate dining, two big baths, and a large living area. Loved the older home made modern. The price is very reasonable. Beach is walkable. Clean, no smelly carpet and comfortable beds and couch. We will definitely look for this cottage again.

We loved the ambiance of this 1930's home. We lived in it for 2 years before renting as a short term rental.We love that it is close to everything as it is in the center of the island.
