Wonderful Host

Rhonda makes sure you feel at home and goes above and beyond to accommodate. We have stayed at the little beach house twice and both times it’s been a perfect place to spend the weekend. Close to everything and Rhonda has everything you could possibly need for a great beach getaway.

A lovely two months

Rick and Rhonda, were the perfect host and we so enjoyed their cottage. It was close to the beach close to downtown and had a nice neighborhood feel. I could go on and on, but suggest you try it for yourself.!!

Fabulous little mermaid house

Rhonda is amazing. She answers right away and so easy to work with. The house is so clean and comfortable. She did some personal things to make our 10 year anniversary special! The neighborhood was great! Walking distance to the beach and restaurants. The pass to Porretto beach with chairs and umbrella were a great bonus! The beach is really nice as well as the people that run it! We are sad to say goodbye, but we can’t wait to plan our next trip to the little mermaid house! Thank you for your hospitality and making this such a great anniversary trip!

About the host

Hosted by Rhonda Brown

My Husband and I came down to Houston in 2005. We are originally from Kentucky. We fell in love with Galveston many years ago, while visiting. Of course, as soon as we moved to Houston, we made a "bee-line" to Galveston! We first became week-enders; and now live in Galveston!

Why they chose this property

We became week-enders down from Houston in 2006. We fell in love with this little house for it's 1900 charm. We went into the back yard and saw the beautiful sitting area under the giant oak trees and were SOLD….we have had many wonderful times here, with family and friends!

What makes this property unique

Large, private outdoor sitting area with OFF-STREET Parking for motorcycles! Washer/dryer. Walking distance to restaurants and bars and beach! WE WELCOME SNOW BIRDS. Contact me for off-season rates: December, January, February (Mardi Gras) and March.
