This was a wonderful place to stay! We enjoyed the property so much and plan to book another vacation getaway here in the future. The host was very accommodating to our requests, and the home was very cozy and had everything you could need. We highly recommend this place for your next stay!

Adorable cottage in a Great Location!
This adorable cottage close to the beach had everything we needed for a perfect stay in Galveston! It was Clean, very close to the beach, and had an adorable front porch and back deck with plenty of space to relax in the beautiful weather. The beds were so comfy, and the host was friendly. We loved it!
The cottage was beautiful. Decor, amenities, porch, patio were as pictured. I loved the down stairs bedroom I stayed in...wish I could have stayed longer. I am sure we will return again.
Adorable house tastefully decorated with coastal theme and full of character. Very cozy and conveniently located to everything. Beds were very comfortable. We ate out the entire time but kitchen seemed to be sufficiently stocked should we needed to have cooked. We did worry about street noise since house is located close to the corner but it was not an issue, especially upstairs. Would definitely rent again.
We adored this cottage. It was very close to the beach and easily navigable to all areas of interest. We had a snafu with the hot water nozzle in a bathroom and the rectified it immediately. I would very much stay here again. Galveston was so much fun!

Wonderful Stay
We had an excellent time. The rental has a lot of old charm. Beautiful and well equipped. Close to beaches and restaurants. Nice quiet neighborhood.
We had a fabulous time! The cottage was just perfect!!! Will definitely recommend and stay again!!! Excellent location also!!! Very comfortable and we loved the porches!!!
The Coastal Cottage is convenient to anything you want to do in Galveston. We enjoyed how quiet it was at night, and it’s easily walkable to the beach. The back yard is private and the parking out front worked well. We addressed a couple of issues with our host that had no bearing on our review. Would love to stay again if in the area, and thought it was a great charming spot!
We had a wonderful time and the house was amazing! The decor was so beautiful and we wished that we could have stayed longer! I wish you could come decorate my house!
my family any I enjoyed the house, we fell in love with the place. it exceeded our expectations. we felt right at home. when we go back to galveston. it will be the place we will stay. (if you will have us again).
