The grass was uncut, producing more mosquitoes and bugs, we had to cancel the cookout. There was construction on the corner. Other than that the home was clean and it did its job.

My family and I just stayed here for two nights and we loved it! The only issue we had was the couch needed to be updated, and there were issues with the recliners not wanting to go back in. The smartlock to the door wouldnt recognize our code and was confusing to open. But the owners/property managers were quick to respond and help us with the problem. Its close to Seawall and a slew of gift shops and restaurants. 9 out of 10! Would definitely recommend this place to stay.

This historic home (survivor of the 1900 hurricane) is located near the University. It's within easy walking distance to the historic downtown of Galveston and many fine restaurants, as well as entertainment venues. The home, itself, was well stocked. This is unusual for vacation homes. We only had minimal shopping to do (like certain "beverage choices"). The coastal seawall is only 15+ minutes away, as is the inner harbor. We didn't have to drive at all. We look forward to booking again!

Loved the house and ease of access. Very responsive management when we had a question (TV issue). The only thing we didn't fully realize is that it is not walkable to the beach in a practical sense. Very near Stewart Beach, which was nice and well kept. But waking to it from the house was impractical with the way the sidewalks are and the lack of crosswalk thru a major intersection. Add two kids and it's a no go. We didn't mind driving the 5 minutes to the beach tho, and the house had a lot of fun and neat features.

Our visit to Galveston included our son graduating from medical school. It was a beautiful house and just perfect for our family. The owner was quick to respond to my question before we arrived. We will definitely stay in their house in the future. Thank you for sharing your home with us! Alisa

First night I had to sleep outside in my car. Could not get a hold of the host. My safety was definitely in question. The second day the host got back with me and helped me gain access to the property. I was given a $200 refund but I think for something that dramatic the whole stay should have been free.

The house is very charming. We enjoyed its age (100+ ) because it was a symbol of endurance after Galveston was destroyed by a hurricane. The renovations are good. The kitchen and bathrooms are up-to -date. The bedrooms are comfy. The house is spacious. The neighborhood is in the medical district and within walking distance of a good grocery, bakeries, a juice bar (right across the street) with delicious and nutritional mixtures. Not far away are fresh fish markets from which we purchased terrific vermilion snapper and salmon steaks. The house is close to museums and historic homes as well.

This home is so cute!!! It’s clean and located in a quiet neighborhood. The home has a lot of charm with modern features. There is a Bistro and a smoothy place in walking distance from the house. We were able to try the Bistro, it was delicious!!! The owners are very responsive and accommodating. We had a great visit! Thank you!!! Monica

The house is kids-friendly and comfortable. Everything is as described. Short drive from the beaches and restaurants. Safe and quiet neighborhood. Free Roku channel on TV. Comfortable chairs on the back yard patio and on the balcony. Child-proof lock on the cabinet under the kitchen sink where dishwasher chemicals are stored. New washer and dryer. Beds are not soft, but good. Living room sofa is large and comfortable. Jenga and Monopoly are available. Overall, great place. Highly recommend!

My extended family loved staying in the Lighthouse Cottage! We typically come to Galveston and get a couple of hotel rooms, but this time we rented the house which allowed us to all be together and enjoy each other’s company. We made lasting memories. Thank you!

Awesome Stay!

Awesome Stay!

I was surprised at how amazing this stay was. I always stay in Jamaica Beach and never considered this area, as I thought it would be too noisy and touristy... Let me just say that on night one, I slept for 10 hours. I can’t remember being that peaceful and relaxed in a long time. Great walkable neighborhood aside from being close to the beach. My 8 year old daughter was obsessed with all of the historic homes, so we walked around the neighborhood so she could “ooh and ah” all the different homes. Very quiet and the neighbors were friendly with conversation or waves. The house was unbelievably spotless and well stocked. I always travel with everything I need but this property one upped me and my planning in every way. There are even baby spoons. 🥰 I contacted the host a couple times and got quick responses. Just a great house and great folks. Definitely would recommend.

My family had a great stay at Diana’s cottage! It’s a great location- close to everything in Galveston, including the beach and great restaurants. The house was spotlessly clean and had a lot of thoughtful amenities, including everything you’d need for cooking. The listing says there is only one bathroom, but there are actually two full baths upstairs as well as a half bath downstairs.

Clean, quiet, safe

We were in town for my kid to have a medical procedure, and this charming older house was within minutes of the medical center. I’m hyper vigilant about germs, and this place was extremely clean. We felt safe. Galveston is not very big, so it was a great location for being off the beaten tourist path yet close enough when we wanted to venture out. I highly recommend it.

Walking to beach and sightseeing through the houses. During cooler times walking to the Strand district is good as well.
