Rick and Rhonda, were the perfect host and we so enjoyed their cottage. It was close to the beach close to downtown and had a nice neighborhood feel. I could go on and on, but suggest you try it for yourself.!!

Rhonda is amazing. She answers right away and so easy to work with. The house is so clean and comfortable. She did some personal things to make our 10 year anniversary special! The neighborhood was great! Walking distance to the beach and restaurants. The pass to Porretto beach with chairs and umbrella were a great bonus! The beach is really nice as well as the people that run it! We are sad to say goodbye, but we can’t wait to plan our next trip to the little mermaid house! Thank you for your hospitality and making this such a great anniversary trip!

Rhonda makes sure you feel at home and goes above and beyond to accommodate. We have stayed at the little beach house twice and both times it’s been a perfect place to spend the weekend. Close to everything and Rhonda has everything you could possibly need for a great beach getaway.

This is the cutest little house! Very clean and stocked with everything we needed. Keep in mind this is a small, very old home so if a large bathroom or large kitchen is important to you, it might not work. However, the charm more than makes up for it because we love older homes. The host, Rhonda, was friendly and communicative so we would definitely love to stay here again the next time we are out this way.

The house was as pictured. Close to everything and so walkable to beach and many great eating places. The birds kept us company in the back garden, the front porch a great place to read. If you want a sweet home away this is it.

Well kept and well stocked little jewel tucked on a shady little lot 3 blocks away from the beach in Galveston. There is NO designated parking which could be a little frustrating but it’s certainly NOT a deal breaker. There are plenty of restaurants and bars, convenience stores and shops, a Kroger AND a Walmart along Seawall Blvd. the Strand (downtown area) is a short drive with lots of boutique shopping, coffee shops and restaurants. We stayed 5 days and the hosts had everything we needed INCLUDING beach towels and beach chairs. They are very responsive if you have any questions or concerns before your stay. You WONT regret renting this little cottage!

This little house is so cute! It resembles a Van Gogh painting. Loved the location-so close to the see wall and the Strand where there was tons of great restaurants, entertainment, and shopping. Very eclectic which we loved. One week wasn’t enough time to fit everything in, but we sure did have fun trying.
