We were in town for a wedding and this was a great location. It is on a main road, but we never had issues getting out of the house. Close to a ton of restaurants.

The house was clean and comfortable, great for a little family trip. The kitchen was well stocked and they provided coffee which was nice. The host Ruth was helpful with any questions. We enjoyed our stay for a few days while the family had fun at the beach.

Really nice accommodation for the seven of us. We stayed prior to our cruise and it was an awesome place. The only thing I would recommend is larger soft blankets, although being in Texas you don’t usually need blankets!

House is fairly close to sea wall, which made an easy walk or drive to the beach. Owner was very accommodating.

We stayed here (myself, my husband, our 9, 8 and almost 2 year old) for a weekend. It was a great location for the beach, restaurants, the pleasure pier, and Moody Gardens. The house was so lovely, had wonderful amenities and was exactly as described. The communication with our host, Ruth, was wonderful as well. We would definitely stay here again!

I like that the house did have a historical feel and was big and spacious. There was some construction going on right behind the house but not really a bother to us. We will be looking to book this house again on our future stays in Galveston if available.

The roomy property had everything we needed for us and our daughter’s family. Tv’s in every room, great kitchen, separate dining, two big baths, and a large living area. Loved the older home made modern. The price is very reasonable. Beach is walkable. Clean, no smelly carpet and comfortable beds and couch. We will definitely look for this cottage again.

THE guest enjoyed the cottage. They used the living room TV. Only problem we had was cooking. The pots and pans were not big enough for what we cooked. However we managed. Thanks for the fun time.

We enjoyed our stay here at the Cottage. The pictures depict it accurately. When the home was remodeled they did good work but still left a lot of the original parts of the home, it is so charming. I loved it. Very close to the beach , a little too far to walk to with coolers and beach gear. We drove to it in like 5 minutes or less. Sits in a good area of Galveston. We were close to lots of attractions and activities.

Overall, the property was great! Very cute, updated and clean! Our only issue was finding it in the dark. Our map was indicating the property was in the prior block and it was very tough to see any addresses in dark. Had to call property manager, but she was very helpful! Overall, five stars! She also allowed us a late checkout before we left on cruise!
