This house was super cute and the perfect distance from the water. It had everything we needed for our spring break stay. This was our little doxies’s first road trip and beach experience so we truly appreciated having a clean and pet friendly space to be able to bring her along.The hosts were extremely accommodating and attentive.

We can’t say enough great things about the accommodations or the host. The house was super clean and beyond stocked. If you forget toiletries of any kind, they have you covered. If you choose to cook a gigantic meal they have you covered with cookware, flatware… We appreciated that dogs were welcomed and again they were prepared should you forget your pet supplies. I sent the owner a few texts and the response was quick. Location is walking distance to the Spot and Pleasure Pier/seawall. Just wonderful!!!

The most wonderful and relaxing home away from home! Carol and Ron have provided a beautiful home with all the amenities you could hope to have. From the fully fitted out kitchen (including complimentary wine) to every toiletry you could think of - nothing is missing. Did I mention the Christmas tree???The backyard is a dream and they provide beach toys. So close to the beach and great places to eat and visit. A dream vacation.

We enjoyed our few days exploring Galveston and the cottage was a great spot to come home to. As in the photos, the decor gives total beach vibes and the bed was very comfortable.We didn’t cook here, but the kitchen looked fully equipped and the bathroom also had everything you could need.Hosts were great and I would recommend this cottage for a stay in Galveston.
