This house was very charming and welcoming. The beds were comfy, the eat in kitchen spacious. The area is close to shopping and restaurants. We would stay here again!
This cottages is simply gorgeous. Super clean, great AC, comfy beds and responsive hosts, not to mention close to the beach. If you want a relaxing spot in Galveston, this is the place!
Such a cute and cozy house! The AC was amazing in the Texas summer heat, and the beds were so cozy! The house had everything we needed, and it is in such a convenient location!
We enjoyed our stay. The house was cozy and lovely. We enjoyed our coffee on the porch in the morning or sometimes even a short walk around the neighborhood. It had all the amenities we needed. We would stay here again, as well as recommended for small groups.
The state was nice. The property manager was helpful. Cute little Home to stay in for a vacation. The only reason why it has three stars is because the washing machine did not work. Other than that, the stay was very enjoyable. We will be staying again in the future. Thanks, God bless.
Very comfortable for three people, in a convenient location if you rent a car. Not perfect if you have mobility issues, but doable. Lockbox proved difficult to open, but owners/managers were very responsive. We would stay again.
This is our second summer here and it was just as perfect this time as our last! It's so hard to write anything when everything is amazing! Which is a great thing! The cottage feels like your home... it is super clean, has plenty of paper towels/ toilet paper, cooking pots/ pans for cooking, towels etc...The beds are comfy, with soft sheets and nice comforter. **AND they actually let you USE the air conditioner and set the temperature!!!! If you stay in enough VRBOS you KNOW what I mean!!! Huge, huge plus being in the heat and humidity of August in Galveston! :)You will not go wrong staying here. We will be back!Thank you Cy for sharing your gorgeous home!P.S. Street is quite and always felt safe!!!
Our family really enjoyed our stay at the cute little cottage on Q. The beds were super comfy, and the location was perfect. I would highly recommend this property!
We enjoyed our stay at the cottage! Everything was very clean and the communication was amazing! Loved how conveniently it was located on the island as well. Def be back!
Pictures don’t do this home justice. It is a very tastefully done space with everything you need. The queen bed was super comfortable, the neighborhood was quiet (except for the one Mardi Gras parade that went by but to be expected). As we were visiting for a wedding, we didn’t do much cooking beyond simple breakfast but the kitchen has what you need to make meals. There also is comfortable abundant seating in the living room and everything is just so well done. Linens and towels were lovely and I highly recommend this space if you need to travel to Galveston.
The Avenue Q cottage was great! Cute historical home in close location to everything. Neighborhood was safe, quiet and easy to get in and out of. Well equipped for our needs.
