This place is great! It was clean and well-taken care of. The little yard was great for our Pekingese. The house is in a convenient location- it’s close to everything. We loved this cozy little place and will definitely stay again.
It was an excellent weekend. Great location, half way between just about everything Galveston has to offer.
Owner is very, very pet accomidating. Side yard was very secure.
We enjoyed our little mini vacation before going our cruise. This house was perfect for our family of 5 to hang around enjoying family time. We had enough room for all of us to sleep. The best part was even tho it’s tiny one the outside, there is plenty of space and we didn’t feel like we were stepping on one another. The next time we will definitely stay here.
The houses are abandoned across the street, and it’s sort of not the nicest area. The neighbor next door has a dog that barks a lot. Kind of glad we decided not to bring our dog, because the barking would have been non-stop probably.
But the cottage was super cute! All new appliances inside and very clean. The house stayed cooled off with the three window units and we really enjoyed it there.
Would probably rent it again if we come back to Galveston.
Really enjoyed our stay. Property was clean and close to everything. Only issue was the living area a/c struggled at times to keep cool during Texas heat but everything else was great. Would definitely stay again.
The only issue is the air conditioning, the ac in the living room is to small to cool it off, the ac where the bunk beds are cuts off often plus is in the middle of the bed so it freezes whoever is on the bottom bed.Everything else was great, property management were very helpful and quickly respond
We had such a great time renting this property, our kids really enjoyed that they were able to play in the yard. They were awesome about answering any questions we had as well.
Cute little house, only complaint is the AC in the front of the house does not keep it cool during the day. We had several activities so we weren't there as much during the day.
This cabin was equipped with all the necessities. Really simple process to book and check in. It was about a mile from the beach which was convenient. A little farther is Stewart Beach which was nice for fur baby. Thanks for a relaxing stay!
Only comment would be that the AC units were a bit on the noisy side but kept the place cool even at 95 degrees outside.
The location was easy to find and less than a mile to the beach. The home is in a safe location. The AC worked great. The appliances have been updated. The house was very clean.
