About the host
Hosted by Kally & Orlando
Hi, from Orlando and Kally. Orlando lives in Houston and Kally lives in Montana. Together we refurbished a block in Galveston and called it Sherbet Lane. Grape + Tangerine + Lime. They are the brightest and sweetest vacation rentals on the block. Our goal is to provide a comfortable space for you with plenty of extras. You almost will feel like you're at home. We are constantly listening to our guests and making tweaks to ensure you have a great visit to Galveston Island.
Why they chose this property
This is more than a little tangerine cottage. We have also a created a fun experience for your stay with us. We took our love of mermaids and created the Whimsical Mermaid experience. In addition to all the fun but classy mermaid touches throughout the cottage, we have also included 4 satin mermaid robes. So fun for selfies and memories. The Whimsical Mermaid is perfect for a fun staycation, the weekend cruiser, a birthday celebration, the annual girls trip, or that romantic getaway! We know your stay in Galveston will be a sweet adventure. Hopefully, you'll find our home relaxing and stress free. We have stocked our kitchen full of coffee, tea and water. Along with a few breakfast items to start your day. We want you to consider our home your home, even it's only for a few nights. Feel free to reach out to us if you have questions or concerns. We are very quick to respond.
What makes this property unique
Our neighborhood is a multi-cultural neighborhood, centrally locally in Galveston. Because it's centrally located, you will sometime hear the sounds of sirens. In addition, our neighbors across the way enjoy the island vibe which includes listening to music and hosting small gatherings. They typically turn their music down by 9:00pm. When you're inside the home, you can barely hear the music. If you are sensitive to sounds, our property may not be the best option. If you enjoy experiencing liveliness and ethic diversity, then our property is perfect. .
