Amazing vacation in Galveston!Thank you to the hosts for sharing this beautiful and cozy home with us. From the moment we arrived, we felt like we were in our own home away from home.The house is spotless, comfortable, and has everything you need for a perfect vacation. As soon as we got back home, my son told me that he already misses his “new house” The hosts are incredibly welcoming and always available, responding to messages immediately and making sure we had everything we needed.We will definitely be back!

We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cottage. The home is so clean & comfy. The owners left us some yummy snacks and the coffee bar was well stocked. Really special added touches that made us feel welcome & right at home. Location was wonderful, a few blocks from the beach, the other direction a few blocks from the Strand. We would certainly stay here again. Great week visiting the charming island of Galveston.

What a joy to stay in this beautifully remodeled 125 year old home. The owners have thought of everything…top notch appliances, comfortable beds and furniture, and so many small details, like providing a gift basket of snacks with a bottle of wine. LOVED this place and highly recommend!

Great location! Charming cottage!

We went to enjoy Dickens on the Strand - which was wonderful. We took dining suggestions from our hosts and had fabulous food at The Steakhouse and Mama Teresa’s Flying Pizza & Italian Restaurant.We highly recommend this comfortable, cozy cottage with thoughtful amenities, such as snacks, wine, and water waiting for you upon arrival, and a variety of activities in Galveston to partake in or enjoy a quiet day on the couch watching football or on the back porch watching people enjoy working in the neighborhood garden. 🪴 We look forward to returning to this gem!

Thank you for the awesome review Terri!! We’re so glad you had a great time at Dickens on the Strand and that our dining suggestions hit the mark! It makes us happy to hear the cottage felt cozy and welcoming, and that the little touches helped make your stay even more enjoyable. The back porch and garden views are such a peaceful spot to unwind. We’d love to have you back the next time you’re in Galveston!!!
