Labor Day Weekend Getaway!
This place is great! It was clean and well-taken care of. The little yard was great for our Pekingese. The house is in a convenient location- it’s close to everything. We loved this cozy little place and will definitely stay again.

Cute house, sketchy neighborhood though
The houses are abandoned across the street, and it’s sort of not the nicest area. The neighbor next door has a dog that barks a lot. Kind of glad we decided not to bring our dog, because the barking would have been non-stop probably. But the cottage was super cute! All new appliances inside and very clean. The house stayed cooled off with the three window units and we really enjoyed it there. Would probably rent it again if we come back to Galveston.

Great little hideaway
We enjoyed our little mini vacation before going our cruise. This house was perfect for our family of 5 to hang around enjoying family time. We had enough room for all of us to sleep. The best part was even tho it’s tiny one the outside, there is plenty of space and we didn’t feel like we were stepping on one another. The next time we will definitely stay here.

Half pint
Enjoyed the stay! It was exactly what we needed - it was clean and hospitable. Neighbor dogs barking was annoying but I get it. Can’t control that. I needed to look at the room a little closer because one room had the window unit blowing right on the lower bunk bed, which for me was fine. Luckily one of the older ladies I was with, who can’t tolerate the cold, is able to handle the ladder. We worked it out. Not sure what to make of the plant growing through the window into the house. Lol. Overall, we had a good stay.

Terrible location
There was a 40 ounce Old English malt liquor bottle on the curb, along with other trash in the yard. There is a sharp nail or staple sticking up from the wood flooring in the guest room that could seriously lacerate someone’s foot. And only 1 roll of toilet paper for 4 days- definitely not enough. Glad we brought some with us. Most likely (very obvious) illegal activity occurring ALL NIGHT every NIGHT across the street. The dogs next door BARKED ALL DAY AND NIGHT LONG! So no one got any sleep, and my husband was running in the Ironman on Sunday. Unfortunately all of this overshadowed the cute house and comfortable beds. Please be more transparent about the unsafe location, horrible neighbors, barking dogs, and please repair the nail in the floor before someone seriously lacerates their foot. I rarely leave reviews, but this needs to be addressed.

Galveston For Spring Break
The property was smaller than I had expected but was very nicely furnished and decorated. There was plenty of parking space for our cars. The neighborhood was not the best with two houses across the street still in bad shape but the ones next to it were nice. The nextdoor neighbor was very nice also. It was too far from both the beach and town to walk but only a short ride in the car. We enjoyed it very much. .

Amazing Hosts
I wanted to find a place to stay as my husband was in ICU. The hosts allowed my 2 cats and 2 dogs to stay with me. They went above and beyond to help me and I will be forever grateful. The neighbor is a bit rough looking but the neighbors are fantastic and very friendly. The home is so easy to live in with everything a person could require for a pleasant stay. They offer a nice little privacy backyard for pets and children with BBQ and chairs. Very satisfied.

Cute house
Cute little house. Window ac units worked. Lights were on to change filter. Great backyard area for pets. However there were roaches in the kitchen utensil drawer and shower stall. May need to have treated. The sofa and side chair had stains. Beds were great and comfortable. Overall it was a nice place to stay. The street and location are a bit concerning but i felt comfortable and safe in the house.

Cozy and convenient!
This cabin was equipped with all the necessities. Really simple process to book and check in. It was about a mile from the beach which was convenient. A little farther is Stewart Beach which was nice for fur baby. Thanks for a relaxing stay! Only comment would be that the AC units were a bit on the noisy side but kept the place cool even at 95 degrees outside.
