Beach Relaxation Time

I had a wonderful, relaxing time in this beautiful place. I came with my 2 dogs, which loved the fenced in, grassy area, while I relaxed in the porch chairs. Everything was exactly as described, very comfortable bed, well stocked and beautifully decorated. I will definitely be coming back.

Loved our stay at the vintage cottage. A few minutes from the beach. The cottage was super clean and well kept. You can see the attention to details everywhere. I felt like I was in a vintage doll house. So cozy, relaxing. We had a wonderful time.

Quaint Cottage

This property was exactly as advertised and rated. Ruth is an excellent host and responds quickly. Great location near the arts district. Many eating options near by as well. If you have a pet, the property is fenced in which is nice. The cottage is quite, clean, and front porch is nice to sit and relax. Would definitely stay at this place again.

Shabby Chic cottage

This cottage was tiny and wonderful for my needs. The decor was like I stepped into my favorite antique shop and had a sleep over. Every nook and cranny had little treasures to look at. The water was hot. The linens smelled amazing. The yard and porch were cute. It was nice to visit the cottage.

About the host

Hosted by Ruth Davis

An accomplished Locksmith by day, I am the hostess with the mostest. If you need anything, just ask. Need seclusion? I'll be happy to give it to you. This is your vacation and I want it to be the best one ever.

Why they chose this property

Who wouldn't want to stay in a vintage cottage where you can pretend to be part of the past while having the amenities of the present? The cottage is in the center of town, close to the beach and downtown shopping. Close to many different restaurants and even HEB and Wal-Mart aren't far away. The property is surrounded by commercial businesses so the night time is quiet and enjoyable. The day time isn't too busy either. Forget a book to read? The public library is across the street. There are also several books in the cottage to enjoy during your stay.

What makes this property unique

This beautiful cottage is in the middle of town but you'd never know it by the beautiful trees and garden. The wind blows through just enough to get the windchimes singing to hide the noise from the roadways. This vintage cottage really is a haven to get away from the daily grind.
