Great walk to the beach! It's far enough from the downtown/touristy area that the beach isn't crowded, but it's a quick drive to get dinner out.

The beach view was not as direct as expected but certainly not obstructed. Some kitchen supplies were missing that we had to buy. Small but adequate bathroom, decent bed in main bedroom, usable kitchen. Overall a decent place to stay.
Stayed 3 nights in May 2026
Response from VrboOwner on 26 May 2026
I'm really confused by your review. The beach view is exactly as pictured in multiple pics on the listing. i cannot imagine what kitchen supplies you would have to buy. Every appliance, two sets of silverware, mixer, 2 coffee makers, blender, cabinets full of dishes, etc. is provided. So, not really sure what you were looking for. The "decent bed" is a Tempur-Pedic, so not sure what you wanted. We are sorry we didn't meet your expectations, but pictures and descriptions on the listing are completely accurate.

Very nice cottage with a good view of Bermuda Beach. We enjoyed relaxing on the large front porch with our dog who lounged while watching birds and rabbits. Easy access to the beach, which is a great place for a peaceful walk along the shore. The location is close enough to Seawall Blvd restaurants/stores that a drive back in is 15 minutes or less. The house is clean, comfortable and well appointed. A delightful place to spend a long weekend with our pup.

About the host

Hosted by Rhonda Nichols

Host profile image
We spend as much time in Galveston as possible and always bring our two dogs, Gracie and Izzy. We all love the fact that the beach is only a few steps away and go for walks whenever possible. Though work prevents us from being here full time now, it's still our favorite place to be.

Why they chose this property

After being transferred to the area, finding the perfect home took some time. After a lot of searching, this property became available and it obviously had great potential. It was only steps to the beach and had a great yard. This was our home, not just a vacation house. So, we paved the driveway, installed hardwood floors, fenced the backyard and did a million other little things. We were thrilled with the result! It became our perfect home at the beach. With another work transfer in 2015, we could no longer live here full time. Since we can't bear the idea of selling our perfect house, we are opening it up for vacation rentals.

What makes this property unique

We are Aggie owned and operated. Gig 'em!
