This adorable little coastal home was the perfect getaway for myself, my husband, 3 kids and my mom. It was well equipped with everything we needed to cook in a few times during our stay, play yard games, and unwind! And the owners left a sweet gift for us which we thought was an extra special touch! Will definitely be booking with them again!

Wow! We were blown away by the special treatment upon arriving to the house! We were greeted by a thoughtful gift and a hand written thank you note from the owners. We just happened to be the first guests ever to stay here and what a privilege! The little touches they provided really made our stay feel so special. The place is such a perfect size for the 6 of us. The house and outside was spotless. Everything smelled so fresh and new. The king bed in the main room was so comfy! They have really cute strand lights all over the patio that make sitting outside a joy! They even had cute heart shaped ice trays! The little touches like that really made such a difference. This house provides everything you may need for any kind of trip. Other than the house itself being top notch, the location is honestly a dream! So easy to get to any location in and around Galveston. During our weekend stay, we made it to The Strand, the Seawall and even Moody Gardens all within minutes of the house. To me, that makes such a huge difference because it cuts down on time you’re spending driving around and you can experience more in a short amount of time. We can’t wait to get another chance to get away and stay here again! It will be our forever place to stay if we visit Galveston! You won’t regret staying here!

We had a wonderful stay. We enjoyed the patio area especially and spent a lot of time out there. The host was great and we were able to reach them when we had trouble with anything. The house was super cute, the beds were incredibly comfortable, and the kitchen was a great space. We were a little further from the beach than we thought it was, but it was a super quick drive, so noworries. If you have trouble with stairs it does require a flight to get in and out of the house. Again, great place, great host, highly recommende!

Cute little place with a fun backyard below! I love how warm and welcoming the hosts were and how quickly they responded when we needed something. The beds had a cooling gel mattress pad that lulled me to sleep. We spent Christmas in this home and it was already decorated with a tree, lights, and stockings making it extra special for us. Definitely want to stay here again.

We needed a place for a few days for a birthday celebration. And this spot was perfect. We walked into a bright, clean, welcoming home. The host had a birthday gift waiting for the hubby. It was a thoughtful surprise that was appreciated. The bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable. The A/C was on point. It was wonderful to come back to a crisp cold feeling after being hot all day. The backyard was fenced in for our two pooches. Be mindful of small gaps under the fence. We blocked some areas off so our small dog wouldn't go through. There were two outdoor sitting areas. One on the balcony and the other in the backyard with festive lights for the evening. It was a nice evening vibe. Also appreciated was the outdoor shower to clean off all that sand from the beach. We highly recommend staying here and we will be returning.

My daughter and I and the doggies had a great stay at this beach house. The house was clean and beds were comfortable. We enjoyed several movies on the huge big screen TV. The two patios, both upstairs and down were very comfortable. The dogs enjoyed the fenced yard and the morning walks in the neighborhood were pleasant. The location was close to the Strand and restaurants and was not far from the beach. Veronica, the host, was very responsive from the moment I made the reservation until we left. I think you’ll enjoy this little in town jewel.

It was a rainy cold weekend, but this place made us feel warm and at home. It was a cute cottage in a quiet area. Would definitely love to come back any time. Rooms were both a good size, with open concept kitchen living room area. Both beds were super comfortable, and we loved the cute fire place in the entertainment center.

We were staying at this home for the second time. We were again here for our friends daughters dance competition. Our only issue with the home was the hot water, there was little to none when we woke up to shower Saturday morning. Once we got ready and left for the day , I contacted Neil and his wife and let them know. Neil was immediately on it and let us know that a breaker had flipped and that all was well. And it was. Until Sunday morning and once again we had little to no hot water. We tried to make it a point to make sure each of us were only taking short showers and waiting Atleast 15 mins between each so as to give the hot water heater to catch up , but alas that didn’t happen. I’m sure it was just a small mishap on our part. Other than that it was once again a great stay , and I am sure we will stay again next year for the same competition. 😊

Cute little place with a fun backyard below! I love how warm and welcoming the hosts were and how quickly they responded when we needed something. The beds had a cooling gel mattress pad that lulled me to sleep. We spent Christmas in this home and it was already decorated with a tree, lights, and stockings making it extra special for us. Definitely want to stay here again.

The owners were so sweet with their welcome to us. It was Mardi Gras so they had beads :) It is a super cute space with comfortable beds. They even had coffee for us- thankfully! We would definitely stay again if we are in the area. We used Uber without an issue.

Our stay was great, we stayed for two days for memorial weekend and the pictures were exactly as the house listed was. Minutes away from beaches and memorable restaurants! We will definitely be back!

Wow! We were blown away by the special treatment upon arriving to the house! We were greeted by a thoughtful gift and a hand written thank you note from the owners. We just happened to be the first guests ever to stay here and what a privilege! The little touches they provided really made our stay feel so special. The place is such a perfect size for the 6 of us. The house and outside was spotless. Everything smelled so fresh and new. The king bed in the main room was so comfy! They have really cute strand lights all over the patio that make sitting outside a joy! They even had cute heart shaped ice trays! The little touches like that really made such a difference. This house provides everything you may need for any kind of trip. Other than the house itself being top notch, the location is honestly a dream! So easy to get to any location in and around Galveston. During our weekend stay, we made it to The Strand, the Seawall and even Moody Gardens all within minutes of the house. To me, that makes such a huge difference because it cuts down on time you’re spending driving around and you can experience more in a short amount of time. We can’t wait to get another chance to get away and stay here again! It will be our forever place to stay if we visit Galveston! You won’t regret staying here!

Location was great for us to ride our bikes on the island. The outside patio area was the best we have had at any rental. 10/10 would stay here again

Went great. We had no issues finding the place and going around Galveston. Only issue that can't be helped is that some people use to use the next door street as a throughway and power through it instead of using Broadway so you may want to be careful parking your car nearby.

My daughter and I and the doggies had a great stay at this beach house. The house was clean and beds were comfortable. We enjoyed several movies on the huge big screen TV. The two patios, both upstairs and down were very comfortable. The dogs enjoyed the fenced yard and the morning walks in the neighborhood were pleasant. The location was close to the Strand and restaurants and was not far from the beach. Veronica, the host, was very responsive from the moment I made the reservation until we left. I think you’ll enjoy this little in town jewel.

This adorable little coastal home was the perfect getaway for myself, my husband, 3 kids and my mom. It was well equipped with everything we needed to cook in a few times during our stay, play yard games, and unwind! And the owners left a sweet gift for us which we thought was an extra special touch! Will definitely be booking with them again!

We had a wonderful stay. We enjoyed the patio area especially and spent a lot of time out there. The host was great and we were able to reach them when we had trouble with anything. The house was super cute, the beds were incredibly comfortable, and the kitchen was a great space. We were a little further from the beach than we thought it was, but it was a super quick drive, so noworries. If you have trouble with stairs it does require a flight to get in and out of the house. Again, great place, great host, highly recommende!
