Cute. Great location
Such a cute house! We were very comfortable. The location was walking distance to the beach and that was why we visited! The front porch was our favorite hangout! They should take the fire pit out of description or get a new one. It was buried in the weeds, broken apart and unusable. The barbecue had not been cleaned ever and it too was unusable and there was no gas in the tank. The back porch would have been wonderful to hangout on, but the cushions were dirty and soaked from the sprinkler. All in all, we made it work.

Beautiful Cottage
My second time to stay in two months. This beautiful cottage has become my favorite place to stay in Galveston. Communication with the owner is always quick response and friendly. It is as beautiful inside as the pictures. I can't see myself staying anywhere else if I'm going to be in Galveston.
