This cottage will sleep up to 8 people comfortably. Two of the bedrooms are private with an additional queen bed over twin trundle bed in the living room. The kitchen and bathroom are very large and fully stocked with all the amenities and cooking utensils/appliances you could ever need. All Linens and towels are provided as well as basic cooking spices, coffee, sugar, creamers, etc. This cottage has a private deck and grilling area but all common areas are available for use.

The house was just what we needed and the pier was perfect for fishing! When it got too hot, we loved taking a dip in the pool to cool off! We will definitely be staying in these homes again!
The cottage was exactly as described. It was cozy and clean. Neighborhood was quiet. It was pet friendly and even had a little fenced in area for the dog. I would stay there again. It is less than 2 miles from our sons home in League City
Our little house was decorated so cute but that was only part of the deal. It was very clean and the host was so sweet! We are enjoyed the whole property. Very serene and relaxing. Plenty of places to sit and enjoy the ocean. We were close to many restaurants and entertainment. We will be back for sure! I highly recommend!!!
Cought Bull Reds and slot Reds. Sheepshead and BlackDrum.
Place to clean fish . Lots of light. Could even fish in the rain nice roof overhang. Eveyone was supper nice.
The house was big enough for 2 of us and all our gear.
It sleeps more we just take so much gear.
All and All Great place!!!
The saltwater gypsy was a wonderful cottage beautifully decorated a great place for our family of 8.Close to anything you wanted to do.We will stay again.

Fantastic Getaway!!!!
Fantastic Getaway!! We Highly Recommend!!! We will be back!!
The saltwater Gypsy was perfect for our getaway. Very quiet and fishing off the pier was awesome. We even used DoorDash to get food delivered. Definitely will be staying here again. The hosts were fantastic at recommending restaurants and gave us a heads up for which ones were social distancing and not.
Think wonderful and then add some more. We honestly did not want to leave and have already planning on heading back to the cottages next time we visit our family in Houston. We hit NASA and some museums, but the best part of the entire week was just relaxing on the dock!

Charming cottage
The owners are the real gem behind the charming cottage. They were so sweet to us and made our visit extra kid-friendly with s'mores at the fire pit outside and by lending out fishing and crabbing equipment to keep them entertained. We spent a fun day at Kemah and the next at Nasa. It is a great, spot on the bay close to great attractions. The Topwater restaurant they recommended was fabulous. We had a really fun long weekend getaway.
My family made a short weekend trip to visit the beach and Pleasure Pier in Galveston. We stayed in the Saltwater Gypsy Cottage and it was wonderful. It was a great size for our family of 8. Everything was well maintained. My kids loved the fishing pier and having poles available to borrow was very convenient. Pat and her family are very friendly and willing to offer whatever information and recommendations you might need. The drive to Galveston only took about 20 minutes and Kemah is nearby as well. Both H-E-B and Walmart are close by. We would absolutely stay here if we make a repeat trip to the area.
My husband and I were looking for a quiet weekend getaway and we found it! The grounds are beautiful, pool was the perfect temperature and the dock was really nice to fish from. Cottage met all our needs and the owners/management were friendly and accommodating. Thank you for such a great weekend!
