Great coastal getaway

I really enjoyed my stay. The property was clean and inviting, hosts were great on communication and the location was perfect. I had a conversation with the housekeeper while exploring the property. She gave me some additional tips on the facility amenities, local restaurants and grocery stores. She was very kind. I hope to visit the coast again next year and stay at this unique location again.

Away from the crowds

What U see in the ad is what U get so no surprises. The only way it could have been better is if the water front was white sand instead of grass & rock, but that’s nature, not the property owner. If you’re considering this location then don’t hesitate, especially for a longer stay

Perfect weekend getaway

We loved the place. It was perfectly suited for a weekend getaway. It’s not always easy to find places to take our dogs with us, but this place is very pet friendly. It’s close to Kemah so there’s lots of things to do for the weekend.

Great place to visit...

The location of "Come Friday" is perfectly located 5 minutes to Kemah and about 30 minutes to Galveston. Oceanfront, with a nice dock to fish from. Several places to relax in the shade. Fire pit, gas and charcoal grill available. Many extras! There are several places (cottages) to pick from, depending on how many are in your party. Great, Christian owners/operators that cater to your every request. Cable TV in every building, ceiling fans and good A/C units!! Tucked away in a quiet neighborhood, and not near the loud highway ( 3 minute drive to a main road CR 146). Lots to pick from for restraunts...or cook for yourself in your room on a gas stove!! We will return for another visit!

Amazingly cozy and they take care of every detail!

We highly recommend staying here. We were immediately welcomed and treated like family. Everything was perfect. I enjoyed looking at all the adorable decorations throughout our cabin. They gave us great recommendations for places to go and the best places to eat. Fishing off the private pier was very relaxing with the warm breeze blowing. Our puppies even loved the vacation.

A LITTLE PIECE OF HEAVEN ON EARTH!

My husband and I came to just relax and get a much needed rest. PERFECT PLACE! The property and the room were very clean. The owners and their daughter were very nice and take pride in their place and making sure you are comfortable and feel welcome. I actually hesitate in giving such a good review because I would like to keep this place, as my own little secret get-away. We will definitely be returning regularly as circumstances allow.
