We enjoyed our stay! The cottage was cute, comfortable, and had everything we needed for our short trip to Galveston. We especially appreciated being able to travel with our pets, which can sometimes make finding accommodations difficult. The space worked well for us, and we were able to relax and enjoy our time away. Thank you for having us!

The house is perfectly in the middle of everything. On a quiet street. The hostess had coffee and cookies waiting. We also used the laundry which turned out great for us. This is the second time we have stayed here. Would recommend to anyone.

This place is excellent. We stayed the night before our cruise. The house was very clean and very well equipped. Felt safe while we were there as well. Super close and so easy to get to the port. We will definitely stay there again. Absolutely loved it!
