Night before cruise

We absolutely loved the place and the host was amazing. We were left a brand new box of delicious cookies to enjoy as a gift for staying and also a cute ornament to put sand and shells in! The cottage itself was very clean and cozy! Check in and out was super easy and having a garage to park your car in was a plus as well. Location was perfect, especially for cruisers. Took less than ten minutes to get to the port! It was a great experience for sure, and I 10/10 would definitely stay here again and recommend it.

Appreciated that they left cookies and water for us in the cottage. Had everything we needed. Stocked with must haves for basic living. Loved the comfortable bed and ceiling fan was appreciated!

Really great getaway

The Cottage is a lovely little property adjacent to the Bryan museum. It's a great location within a short walk of the seawall to the south and Broadway to the north. The host is very responsive and accomodating and the property is great. Two comfy bedrooms upstairs, a very pleasant living room in front and a well equipped kitchen. There's a small but adequate enclosed back patio space for smokers or for pets to stretch their legs. Everything worked perfectly and was well marked. It's a quick drive to downtown venues and walkable to the beach. It felt not so much like a VRBO and more like staying at a friend's house for a few days. We would definitely go back. Two minor cautions. The street in front is pretty busy during the morning and evening so if you're real sensitive to traffic sounds, this might be a concern. Very quiet at night though. Also, the stairs to upstairs are a little on the steep side. They are very sturdy and there is a strong railing, so not a problem for us or most folks, but it might be a concern if you have someone with mobility issues.

Great spot and a great price

We enjoyed our stay at The Cottage; all of the information was sent to me a couple of days before so it was very easy to get into the house. It was very clean, there were cookies waiting for us 🍪 and cold bottled water in the fridge. Everything you might need was available, even chairs, towels and water toys, games, and toys. It’s a great place to stay in the great city of Galveston!
