We absolutely loved the place and the host was amazing. We were left a brand new box of delicious cookies to enjoy as a gift for staying and also a cute ornament to put sand and shells in! The cottage itself was very clean and cozy! Check in and out was super easy and having a garage to park your car in was a plus as well. Location was perfect, especially for cruisers. Took less than ten minutes to get to the port! It was a great experience for sure, and I 10/10 would definitely stay here again and recommend it.
We arrived, and everything was just as Diane described. Beautiful home, quiet neighborhood. Had a garage, which was really nice. Home was close to everywhere we wanted to go. We will definitely stay again when we are in Galveston.
Really enjoyed this house. Stayed one night as we were leaving on a cruise. Very clean, everything we needed was available. The cookies left was an added bonus that my daughter loved! This will be our new go to place to stay when visiting Galveston for short or long stays.
It was the perfect house for us. Centrally located to food...stores...and museums. We took an extra day and enjoyed the town before we heade out on the cruise. The property was just the right size for 4 of us.
It was an adequate space, well supplied with the necessary items needed and comfortable for my husband and sales manager to have personal space.

Overall clean and well kept house; owners was thoughtful Left cookies for us. The house is abit older. Lots of nice personal touches and kids toys and beach stuff to use. We didn’t use any because the weather was cold and we were only there for 1 short night. The washing machine and dryer was nice to have.
This is a nice home centrally located in Galveston. I would stay again.

Appreciated that they left cookies and water for us in the cottage. Had everything we needed. Stocked with must haves for basic living. Loved the comfortable bed and ceiling fan was appreciated! Not too far from the beach and short Uber to cruise terminal. Enjoyed our stay and will be back at the end of the cruise.
We all enjoyed our vacation, including our 4-legged companion.
