Perfect for our anniversary

The saltwater Gypsy was perfect for our getaway. Very quiet and fishing off the pier was awesome. We even used DoorDash to get food delivered. Definitely will be staying here again. The hosts were fantastic at recommending restaurants and gave us a heads up for which ones were social distancing and not.

Heaven in Bacliff

Think wonderful and then add some more. We honestly did not want to leave and have already planning on heading back to the cottages next time we visit our family in Houston. We hit NASA and some museums, but the best part of the entire week was just relaxing on the dock!

Charming cottage

The owners are the real gem behind the charming cottage. They were so sweet to us and made our visit extra kid-friendly with s'mores at the fire pit outside and by lending out fishing and crabbing equipment to keep them entertained. We spent a fun day at Kemah and the next at Nasa. It is a great, spot on the bay close to great attractions. The Topwater restaurant they recommended was fabulous. We had a really fun long weekend getaway.

Galveston Trip

My family made a short weekend trip to visit the beach and Pleasure Pier in Galveston. We stayed in the Saltwater Gypsy Cottage and it was wonderful. It was a great size for our family of 8. Everything was well maintained. My kids loved the fishing pier and having poles available to borrow was very convenient. Pat and her family are very friendly and willing to offer whatever information and recommendations you might need. The drive to Galveston only took about 20 minutes and Kemah is nearby as well. Both H-E-B and Walmart are close by. We would absolutely stay here if we make a repeat trip to the area.
