Quick Summer Family Getaway

The house was clean and comfortable, great for a little family trip. The kitchen was well stocked and they provided coffee which was nice. The host Ruth was helpful with any questions. We enjoyed our stay for a few days while the family had fun at the beach.

Smartly updated two bedroom house not far from the seawall. Very clean and fresh. Great for couple or smaller group. Two bathrooms were a plus. We would stay again without hesitation.

Perfect house and location!

We stayed here (myself, my husband, our 9, 8 and almost 2 year old) for a weekend. It was a great location for the beach, restaurants, the pleasure pier, and Moody Gardens. The house was so lovely, had wonderful amenities and was exactly as described. The communication with our host, Ruth, was wonderful as well. We would definitely stay here again!

Roomy and family friendly

The roomy property had everything we needed for us and our daughter’s family. Tv’s in every room, great kitchen, separate dining, two big baths, and a large living area. Loved the older home made modern. The price is very reasonable. Beach is walkable. Clean, no smelly carpet and comfortable beds and couch. We will definitely look for this cottage again.

THE guest enjoyed the cottage. They used the living room TV. Only problem we had was cooking. The pots and pans were not big enough for what we cooked. However we managed. Thanks for the fun time.

Neat house! Very clean!

Overall, the property was great! Very cute, updated and clean! Our only issue was finding it in the dark. Our map was indicating the property was in the prior block and it was very tough to see any addresses in dark. Had to call property manager, but she was very helpful! Overall, five stars! She also allowed us a late checkout before we left on cruise!

Very Clean!

Super clean home with friendly, fast communication with the host. Location is close to groceries, restaurants, etc, but located on a pretty busy road with not much to view from the balconies. Maybe this is a common thing for Galveston cottages, but the big drawback for us was that all the windows were shuttered at least halfway or all the way from the outside. Luckily we weren’t in the house much during the day. The house is clean and painted brightly, but if you want to let light in, this wouldn’t be the house for you. Otherwise, 5 stars!

AC went out

Excellent accommodations! Very quick response to questions. Check in process very easy. However, air conditioning went out our first night in the July heat. I did wait until 7 o’clock the next morning to notify the owner. They were very quick to respond and did have air conditioning back on within approximately six hours of notification. Rental 2 nights….so 42 hours and was without AC for approximately half of that. Granted, once owner was notified, it was only about six hours. However, I do feel some sort of reimbursement should have been provided. Multiple attempts made, and owner declined.
