Amazing views and amazing hosts. We were in town for a convention in Houston and found this gem. Husband had a blast fishing while I had a blast sitting in the hot tub. The towels were soft and the bed was the most comfortable bed we’ve ever slept in. Sometimes it’s the little things that tell you how much the hosts care. Had more of a B&B vibe than a management company owns a Vrbo vibe. This is the gold standard for me. I need more stars to give.

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!

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.

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.
