Such a sweet little cottage, a perfect spot for us to gather before the cruise. Owners were very accommodating and the cottage is decorated so nice. We loved it!
Everything about the house was spectacular! Very clean, updated furnishings, cute decor. We had zero issues with the house.Close to just about everything. A quick jaunt to the beach or down to the Strand. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay
The actual location is close to everything.Was a pretty quiet area (except new year with firdirecracker)neighborhood ??, beautifully decorated. Everything you need. decorateandeverything you
I booked this trip very last minute and I was very pleased with the house! A short distance from pleasure pier and restaurants. Cute cozy space. So glad it has a washer and dryer! Definitely will look to book one of these houses for my next visit to Galveston!

The property was very very cute. Within walking distance to Carnival cruise port & within walking distance to downtown. However the cottage was so very cold, with our party having to layer when going to bed. It would be great in the summer & fall but I would not recommend it for a winter rental! We did use the heater supplied, & that did help but we ended up wrapping ourselves in blankets and watching a full season of Brookline 99 on Netflix to keep warm.
We arrived on Monday. Our cottage was very cute and clean. Plenty of room for the three of us. Short drive to the beach and amazing restaurants. We will be back!
The house exceeded our expectations. Plenty of towels, beds where comfortable and decorated beautifully.

About the host
Hosted by Kally & Orlando
We love Galveston. It's an interesting and fun island. There is a lot to do in the area and our property is centrally located, so we are close to everything. We personally suggest having a vehicle when you stay. This island is large and walking would be tiresome.
Why they chose this property
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.
What makes this property unique
This is more than a little lime cottage. We have also a created a fun experience for your stay with us. We took our love of the ocean and created the Makin' Waves experience. In addition to all the fun but classy beach-themed touches throughout the cottage, we have also included 4 satin robes. Makin' Waves 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.
