From before we arrived, the experience was already enjoyable. The host’s clear and warm communication gave us all we needed to know for our stay. The home was perfectly located between Pleasure Pier/the beach and The Strand. The house was clean, cozy, and wonderfully decorated. Naps on the couch were a must after walks around the neighborhood. We would absolutely stay again and again!

We're so glad the communication before your stay set the tone for such an enjoyable trip. It's wonderful to hear the location worked so well for exploring Pleasure Pier, the beach, and The Strand, and that the home felt clean, cozy, and welcoming enough for some well-earned couch naps. Thank you for sharing such a lovely review!

Cottage life

This is the cutest house for a Galveston stay. I liked that it had off street parking and was close to the pleasure pier and Seawall. Also wasn’t a bad 10ish minute drive to moody gardens.

Great location close to restaurants and shops. Quite street. Home worked excellent for our short stay. Awesome upgraded cottage and would stay again. The only small issue was that the beds were really small.

This property was perfect for us. Our granddaughter had surgery at UTMB which was right down the street. We were so comfortable and we had everything we needed. The property is beautifully decorated as well. Highly recommend this wonderful property and we will definitely return when we are in the area again!

Grand time at this cottage

Me, two Elementary aged sons and hubby stayed here and had a grand time. We wanted an elegant atmosphere to celebrate our Vow Renewal and Ramadan holiday. It was a perfect setting for some nice photos. It was also very close to pleasure pier which is where we wanted to spend some time. The living room was such an inspiring place to relax and the kids having their own TV in their room was also convenient for us. Loved the cottage & will definitely be using some of their decor ideas in our home.

Enjoyed our stay

Came to the cottage for a girls weekend. Everything was good. Only two things to mention, as I'm not sure they're described on the listing. There is no ice machine or ice trays to make ice. We had to step out to get some, which was no huge deal, just something to note. Also, there is a TV in one of the bedrooms, not both. Again, not a huge deal for us, but may be important to some. Overall, this was a great place to stay at a reasonable price. The location is fabulous!
