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!

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!
One of the nicest well equipped we have ever stayed in. Would stay again when in Galveston.

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!

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.

Our stay was amazing. The property was perfect for our couples getaway. Close to all we wanted to do and stores. Hosts were great with communication. Would definitely stay again.
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
The place is small but cute. I gave it 3 stars because i felt like the ac unit didnt cool properly. I slept right next to it and still was sweating in my sleep. And there was only one tv in the house. With 4 adults, that just dont work out. Not enough living room s
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!
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!
