Small but functional
The home was small but functional. The beds did not seem to be queen size but the headboards were. The cleaning crew was still working when we arrived and asked us to give them additional time to finish. The neighborhood was questionable, lots of foot traffic, men sitting on the corner with loud music and drinking. As single women we would not stay here again, it did not feel safe.

We fell in love with this little house. It is designed absolutely beautifully and every want you could have has been thought of. We are already planning to stay here on our future trips to Galveston, and recommending this house and its wonderful hosts to our friends and family. Zero complaints!

Wonderful cottage!
My husband and I came to town for Dickens on the Strand. The cottage was absolutely perfect! It was within walking distance of the Strand, restaurants and breweries. We will definitely be back!

Fantastic!!!
This was a fantastic stay. We enjoyed this cottage before boarding a Royal Caribbean cruise. This was perfect for our short stay and we really enjoyed the outside space. We were 4 adults, it was a little tight, but the cottage was clean and quaint and, given the adfordable price, was perfect for us. Thank you for sharing with us.

Home was great but not in an ideal neighborhood. Everything was easy to get to. It was nice coming back to a comfortable home after spending the day out. Thanks Kally.

Nice Little House
This house was great. Very clean and the location gives you easy access to whatever you want to do in Galveston. However, there is limited parking just on the street in front of the house. The neighborhood seemed a little sketchy but the house suited the purpose of our trip well at a reasonable price.

Area was a little loud, but the property was wonderful. The home was clean with lots of amenities. My only complaint was that there was a limit of one load of laundry a day as the washer was tiny. Coming off a cruise I specifically looked for a property with laundry. I took my own soap but they do provide that too (I am allergic to some soaps so took what I use). Walmart offered deliver to this property so I didn't have to shop for groceries which was a plus!
