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!

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.

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.

Adorable safe community and cottage

We loved our time at Come Friday Cottages and the Saltwater Gypsy. It was close to Kemah, Food, attractions, Galveston and NASA. Quaint and quiet and just the right size for the three of us. Plus reserved parking right in front. My family loves fishing so we loved each night winding down on the dock and fishing. Everyone staying around us waved and visited and welcomed us, even invited us to their crab boil. It just felt like old times when you were growing up and everyone talks to their neighbors. Already planning our next trip back. Also the mattresses were extremely comfortable I don’t know what kind they were but they were amazing. Best sleep each night. Thank You! For such great hospitality
