Cottage on 14th. Cozy Historic Cottage. Doggies welcome.

My family stayed in this GORGEOUS home for 6 weeks. We stay in Galveston every summer and this house was hands-down the HOMIEST, most comfortable, best decorated, most well-equipped home we have ever stayed in on the island. Ron met us at the door when we arrived to ensure we had everything we needed, and at checkout even graciously assisted me in securing our bikes and surfboard to my car for the long drive back to Dallas.

The location is close to everything - the beach, library, Pleasure Pier, a number of restaurants, and the best bakery in Texas are all within walking distance. There is parking for 2 cars that was always availble - every single day of the journey. The master bedroom downstairs is adorable, the pocket doors make it incredibly cozy. My three teenagers had PLENTY of room upstairs in the loft and never once did I have to look at their mess. They could be tucked away and as far as I could see the house was always clean.

We cooked nearly every meal, and the kitchen was stocked with every single thing I needed for cooking, serving, eating, and cleaning - with the exception of a can opener and cheese grater (which I suspect had been broken and tossed by a previous tenant and were easy for me to replace). The wine fridge was used constantly.

The back porch was a fabulous place to relax in the evening and a very convenient place to clean off after the beach or just riding bikes along.

We never re-visit a home in Galveston, always preferring to stay in a new place. That habit will stop with this house. We cannot wait to stay again.

This was our second week-long stay and will definitely be back. The location is perfect for beach, shopping, and restaurants. The house is adorable with plenty of room for my husband and two 8-year olds. Washer and dryer is a MUST for a long-term beach stay and the back patio and outdoor shower are also welcome amenities. Tony and Ron are super sweet and available for any issues or questions. Nothing but love for this place!

We had a great time in Galveston staying at the Cottage on 14th. Very comfortable, very relaxing.

Well equipped and charmingly decorated cottage - close to beach and downtown.

I rented the Cottage on 14th the week of my wedding at nearby Garten Verein. The house is beautifully decorated and is oozing charm! It was a perfect base of operations for all of our last minute errands and prep work. You are very close to the Strand, great restaurants and a quick drive to the seawall. The neighborhood was quiet and the beds very comfortable.

After taking into account the cleaning fee and taxes, this house was a little less per night than the mid-range hotel my family was staying at on the seawall. There was added value in being able to cook some meals at the house and it was very nice to have the washer/ dryer to use.

I would definitely stay here again! The owners have done a fantastic job of restoring this beauty and it made for a memorable and comfortable visit!
