Exactly as described
This house was so cute! I loved the updated features inside and my son loved the “secret” game room downstairs. The only downside was the bed in the primary room and the sofa sleeper were both pretty uncomfortable and very loud if you move around in them. Overall, we were very happy with the property and how quickly the owners responded to our communication.

Weekend in Galveston
It was a decent little cottage. We were there to visit with friends and attend the sand castle competition. The only 2 discomforts I would mention are; the kitchen was incredibly warm since there wasn’t an AC unit and trying to cook just heated it up more. and the bed closest to front door was uncomfortable for my husband and I. It felt broken down. Otherwise it was a cute, clean place.

Cozy and comfortable
We had a great time staying in the cottage. Everything was perfect. It was close to the beach and Downtown. Felt safe in the neighborhood. Walking distance to the beach but it was too hot for us to walk and my parents are elderly. So I would say car was better for us but parking was easy. The house was well stocked with board games for the kids and a game room downstairs was a nice touch. QEven my fur baby was comfortable. It was nicely decorated and clean. Would definitely recommend it.

Sealy stay
Location was good. Home’s style and vibe was pleasant. Loved the cozy beach feel. Loved the downstairs area. Floors were a bit dirty. Had to vacuum up sand and dust balls. Pull out bed had a layer of sand. Couldn’t use.

Nice Spot for a Quick Getaway
Our family of four stayed in this charming cottage for five days. The kitchen was well provisioned, AC cold, single bathroom roomy enough for everyone’s stuff, and the hangout space below was an especially huge hit with the kids. Access to Porretto Beach was great, but only open on the weekend during our stay. Overall a great little house for a beach escape.

Memorial Day getaway
Our family really enjoyed this house and its amenities, especially the proximity to the strand. The parking passes for the beach and street made things very convenient. We loved the garage with its lights and games for the kids. All in all a very cozy and accommodating stay. Would stay again and recommend to families looking for a cozy place near the beach.

Perfect location, beautiful house
Short walk to the beach, 1 mile from downtown (walkable), wonderful neighborhood to bike. Close to restaurants. House is beautifully decorated and clean, well-stocked and beds were comfortable. Communication was great. Nice TV. We found the sofa to be very uncomfortable, but maybe that's just us. I don't sit a lot on vacation, but it's nice to unwind at the end of the day. We appreciated the extra touches for our pups. Would definitely love to stay here again! Thank you.

Perfect Beach Cottage
My family and I had a great experience. Our party included my husband, 10 and 6 year olds, and our infant. The house was very clean, in a safe/convenient location. Staff was beyond helpful and responsive. I left my wallet behind— the staff found it and overnighted it to me. Great experience. We will definitely return!!

Wonderful house in a great location, though it was a bit dirty
We loved our stay in this beach house and found it to be very comfy and close to everything! The only negative was that we did find it to be a bit dirty (lots of long dark hair stuck to the shower walls, long dark hairs on one of the pillows in the bed, floors were so dirty we kept a rag by the bed to wipe our feet before getting in). We still give it 5 stars but hope they step up their cleaning in the future!
