This little cottage was perfect for what we needed. We walked to the beach and walked to eat. It’s the perfect location. Nice and clean as well.

Coral Cottage is a gem which other couples should consider. It is clean, well equipped, and a short walk to the Galveston Seawall and area restaurants. It comfortably accommodated my wife a myself for a great week where we could unwind and enjoy some of the many things Galveston offers. Sam, the host was very helpful and responsive.

My husband and I spent the time here for our 15 yr anniversary. Our anniversary is on the 2, of July so you can only imagine what the beach was like this weekend. Well the house is perfectly positioned because we couldn’t hear the noise from the sea wall and because of the cameras where the house is we felt safe chaining our e bikes to the front porch. We loved being able to walk to the beach, and when we decided to take a swim the outdoor shower was ideal. I would call this a hidden gem. Very clean, and I loved that it didn’t smell like dog or cigarettes. The owner was super cool and was awesome at communicating. This was my favorite anniversary and I’m blessed I was able to book such a nice house so close to the Fourth of July weekend.

Why they chose this property

In the heart of the entertainment district close to many of the islands famous spots.

What makes this property unique

The Coral Cottage is tucked away off the main street and has private driveway in an area where parking is restricted and hard to come by in the busy season. It's a very short walk to the seawall.
