This was our first stay with VRBO and we loved staying at the Cottage on Avenue Q. The space was perfect for my friend and I to have a girl’s weekend. Home was very clean, had all the essentials for cookware and bedding, and every space was used to its fullest potential. Thank you for having us! A wonderful location; just a few blocks away from the beach. A very doable walk. The strand is close by with a ride-share service or bikes if you rent them. Parking was a breeze. Plenty of street parking available and the small shared grass pad in between the cottage and the neighbor’s unit is available for use. We will gladly stay at the Cottage again! Please don’t forget to sign the cute guest book.

COZIEST COTTAGE!

This is our second summer here and it was just as perfect this time as our last! It's so hard to write anything when everything is amazing! Which is a great thing! The cottage feels like your home... it is super clean, has plenty of paper towels/ toilet paper, cooking pots/ pans for cooking, towels etc...The beds are comfy, with soft sheets and nice comforter. **AND they actually let you USE the air conditioner and set the temperature!!!! If you stay in enough VRBOS you KNOW what I mean!!! Huge, huge plus being in the heat and humidity of August in Galveston! :)You will not go wrong staying here. We will be back!Thank you Cy for sharing your gorgeous home!P.S. Street is quite and always felt safe!!!
So inviting!
Cute decor
Just the right size open kitchen.

Girls’ trip

We enjoyed our stay. The house was cozy and lovely. We enjoyed our coffee on the porch in the morning or sometimes even a short walk around the neighborhood. It had all the amenities we needed. We would stay here again, as well as recommended for small groups.

Galveston vacation

The state was nice. The property manager was helpful. Cute little Home to stay in for a vacation. The only reason why it has three stars is because the washing machine did not work. Other than that, the stay was very enjoyable. We will be staying again in the future. Thanks, God bless.

A house with a lot of Character

We really enjoyed our stay.The house really has so much character.I must have missed the sofa couch in the description of the property online , so we were pleasantly surprised to see on the house notes there was one available.We like to cook at least breakfast on our stays.The pots and pans were pretty basic, if you plan on cooking maybe bring something of your own to cook with. Overall the cleaning was pretty good. The ceiling fan and hvac vent was caked in dust.The only safety concerns I would bring up was we didn’t have a key to the rear door which had a deadbolt and most of the windows were sealed shut do to age and being painted shut.Thank goodness nothing happened where we needed to escape quickly.
