This place is adorable. The host has not forgotten ANY detail. Prob the most well-thought amenities I’ve ever experienced, from the Bathroom, to the rooms, to the kitchen, and consumables!! Parking was right in front of the home, it was very clean, and host was extremely responsive. Excellent property!

This cottage is perfect! It is nicely decorated and comfortable. Parking right outside is great, if I were in a hotel, I'd have to leave my room, walk through the lobby and then to my car which depending on hotel occupancy, could be quite the walk. Thanks for a memorable experience!

Liked: Cleanliness
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.

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!
