We're so glad you had an excellent stay Dylan! Thank you for the 5-stars, compliments and being such a wonderful guest to host! We would be delighted to have you back again!
The home is lovely. But the backyard/pool area is the star of this vacation home. We spent many hours just relaxing, grilling and playing in pool/outdoor kitchen area. Highly recommend

Why thank you Marggi! We're delighted your family's experience was a fun and relaxing one. We do hope you plan that return trip, as you were a lovely group to host!
We stayed over the 4th of July holiday. This house is so cute. Super clean, easy walk to the beach, fun outdoor area with pool and our dogs were welcome too. The management team was very responsive during our booking process. If our travels brings us back to Galveston, we will definitely look to stay here again!!

We're delighted your 4th of July holiday was a success at Coral Cottage! Thank you for the 5-stars, compliments and tips for future guests! We would be honored to have you back again!
Very clean, well-appointed home. We walked to the beach and to downtown (despite the heat). Our dog loved the small fenced yard and sunny pool deck.

We love hearing that, thank you Tucker and group! Thank you for allowing the 979 Crew to host your stay, and we're delighted it was nothing short of clean, comfortable, and FUN! We hope to have you back again for some more island time.
The home was exactly as pictured. It was clean and comfortable. Just a short walk to the seawall and a short drive to restaurants. Having the pool in the backyard was the icing on the cake. Unfortunately, the weather this weekend was VERY windy and relaxing on the beach really wasn’t an option. The pool and the covered porch were just what we needed. Our 2 dogs had a great time!

We're delighted your family experienced a 5-star relaxing poolside time at Coral Cottage! Thank you for allowing us to host your group including the pups. We hope to have you back again, Beth!
Excellent. The grilling situation was a little ify. Kind of rusty. Kitchen well stocked with loads of storage. Close to beach. Needs more lamps in living room and main bedroom. A hanging light over the dining table would be nice. It was kind of dark, and the ceiling cans are blinding. We loved our time there. We made a great choice!
This cottage was so well thought out and exudes class in every way. Well appointed, furnished beautifully, and oh so cozy and comfortable.
The pool and backyard are spectacular and the outdoor kitchen is fabulous. So private and clean.
We will be back here often now that we've experienced this place. Maybe the best booking we've had EVER!
Close to virtually every destination we had on our list. Just parked the car in the garage and ubered everywhere!
