We had an amazing stay at this beach house! The home was clean, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The bedroom was cozy and comfortable, the kitchen was fully stocked, and the outdoor space was perfect for morning coffee. Communication with the host was easy and friendly throughout our stay. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this rental to anyone looking for a relaxing beach vacation.

The Mermaid House was perfect for our couples getaway. The house was clean, close to the beach and restaurants. The outside lights weren’t working the 1st night but Rhonda was very quick to get them fixed. The kitchen has everything you need. We were so thankful for the off the street parking because out front you may have issues finding parking close to the house. The house was beautiful and comfortable, I couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Thank you!

Well, when you say you would stay here again that tells you a lot! Great additional parking pad in alley with safe fence access( parked there a lot because street parking usually taken. Wonderful patio to relax on. Rhonda’s husband was walking their dog when we arrived and he helped us park and gave us tips. Clean comfortable cottage perfect for my granddaughter and me. Had anything you would need for a stay(very thoughtful) Great-great location for everything, easy to beach, shops and restaurants. So in summary- loved it and would stay again! BIG PLUS- I left over 1000 dollars worth of jewelry in a velvet pouch on bed….they were so honest and kind, they let me know and mailed to me fedx…..thank God for honest folks still out there who truly care about those who stay with them….if I could give them 10 stars I would!!!

Communications with the host, Ms. Rhonda, was top-notch. She responded right away with answers to our concerns/questions about the amenities on the property. It's an older house built in the 1900's and it kinda reminds me of the type of house I grew up in. :)The living room/kitchen area is very cool/cold (needed a blanket while watching TV), but the bedroom, which is located in the rear of the house, was not as cool. It was sort of warm and stuffy. The ceiling fan helped a bit to keep the bedroom comfortable at night. I also brought a desk fan that helped tremendously. The property did fit the need for our short 3-night getaway for our anniversary. The beach was about 3-4 blocks from the property (was too far for me to walk, it was too hot - July) LOL Rhonda had a bottle of wine in the refrigerator for us, which I thought was a nice gesture. The house is suffice, in my opinion, for a short stay.

Thanks for your response, Willie! Yes, our Mermaid House was built in 1902 after the 1900 storm. These 100 degree days (feels like 110) are extreme. Glad you two had fun. Come back and see us, Rhonda

We had a wonderful stay at this beach cottage. It was very clean and quaint, and the quiet neighborhood made it especially relaxing. We really enjoyed sitting on the porch in the evenings. The cottage is also an easy walk to the beach and several restaurants. The host was great, and we would definitely come back again.

I absolutely loved the little beach house. Rhonda was very tentative. The home was very cozy. Enjoyed reading a little about the history in the house.The fresh paint looked fabulous and I loved loved the plants in the backyard. I can’t wait to return to see the lemon tree. I highly recommend staying at the little beach House in Galveston.

The host was very easy to engage with. The home is very cute. The location was nice and easy to access the beach. Unfortunately it was very quite dirty. I believe there was black mold in the home and I became ill with a sinus infection shortly after our stay. Again, it’s a cute home, but needs some rehab and deep cleaning.

So sorry you became ill after your visit, Tiffini. I have never had these complaints. We have no mold. I clean it myself. Many people have allergy problems this time of year. We are having the exterior painted in a couple of weeks, Rhonda
