Really enjoyed this house. Stayed one night as we were leaving on a cruise. Very clean, everything we needed was available. The cookies left was an added bonus that my daughter loved! This will be our new go to place to stay when visiting Galveston for short or long stays.

I don't know why we were asked to do laundry when we're paying for house keeping to do it.

The stay was nice. But the house had 1 front window & the picture showed 2. The picture was enhanced. Those were the only 2 deception.

Great spot and a great price

We enjoyed our stay at The Cottage; all of the information was sent to me a couple of days before so it was very easy to get into the house. It was very clean, there were cookies waiting for us 🍪 and cold bottled water in the fridge. Everything you might need was available, even chairs, towels and water toys, games, and toys. It’s a great place to stay in the great city of Galveston!

Overall clean and well kept house; owners was thoughtful Left cookies for us. The house is abit older. Lots of nice personal touches and kids toys and beach stuff to use. We didn’t use any because the weather was cold and we were only there for 1 short night. The washing machine and dryer was nice to have.

Perfect fit

We needed an overnight before hopping on a cruise. This place was exactly what we needed. House was great, host was awesome. Communication lacked nothing. They even had cookies waiting on the table. That was a very sweet thing to do! I bet it's great for beach trips as well, even though we didn't have time for that. We saw there was an ornament globe with instruction for filling it with shells you may find on the beach. Really a great idea and very thoughtful of the host to do. House was super clean, everything was great!

Couldn't be happier!

Excellent communication with the owner. Totally impressed with the property! Very nice and extremely clean. You can tell the owner takes great pride in the property. Nothing to worry about with COVID 19. Felt completely safe. Even had hand sanitizer, Lysol spray and wipes available. Very well appointed. Absolute attention to every detail. Owner has thought of everything that anyone could need (and then some) to have a pleasurable experience. I highly recommend this property and hope it is available for my next Galveston visit because I will definitely stay here again.

Surprising lil gem!

The owner did a wonderful job with this place! I didn’t realize it was 2 story, but I probably missed it in the listing. Everything is marked and labeled nicely throughout the entire unit! The beds were comfy! The shower had some of the better water pressure I’ve experienced thru different rentals. But the best part: a garage that we were able to park inside?! That was a 1st for us in close to 10 rentals. I will say that 4 people is probably the max you’d want to stay due to its cozy size. But this unit would be a great central base to explore the whole island from. We only stayed for a night since we were cruising out the next day, but we will keep this place in mind should we invest more time in Galveston.

Great for our stay. We did not use the kitchen, but great to have. easy check out. Having laundry available was nice. Bed was comfortable and a/c worked great for middle of July as it was hot outside and a/c was able to keep up, even up stairs.
