Our beautifully landscaped backyard is a wonderfully tranquil place to relax after a fun-filled day on the island! Enjoy grilling on the propane grill and relaxing under the Pergola in the conversation area in the backyard while surrounded by full privacy fencing, gas fire pit and Hibiscus bushes. The outdoor shower (with hot and cold water and a sprayer) is wonderful for rinsing off after a day at the beach.
The large front porch is so relaxing and great for sitting and enjoying your morning coffee while feeling the Gulf breezes and hearing the waves. This is a peaceful, friendly neighborhood which will allow you to truly feel at home in our adorable Coastal Cottage!

The hosts were absolutely wonderful- they answered my questions promptly before I even booked with them and were extremely helpful throughout our stay. It really is just as described. I read other reviews where guests stated that you could literally show up with your clothes and you would be set. That is the case- so many toiletries were provided that if you forgot something, it was almost certain to be there. So nice to have the Keurig and the coffee provided. The bed was super comfortable. We loved the backyard with the covered seating area and spent a lot of time there. If you love to cook, there is every kind of imaginable pot and tool that you could possibly need. Being able to walk just two blocks to the beach was amazing! My husband and I are already looking at our calendars to see when we can return. Thanks so much, Carol and Ron!

We loved the property, including the back yard for our dog. Easy walk to the beach! The house has everything you could possibly need for your stay, including an ample stock of kitchenware and dog supplies. Beautifully decorated, plenty of resources for places to go, including dog-friendly restaurants. Ron and Carol are just the nicest folks you'd want to do business with - they even left us flowers and a card for our anniversary!

We loved our stay! The house was clean, bright and comfortable. We had above and beyond anything we could have needed for our 4 nights there. The owners were communicative and helpful, making sure that we had ideas for our two kids’ first trip to the beach. And it really is so close to the beach! We would stay here again in a second.

What a lovely beach bungalow. Each room is colorfully decorated. Had everything we needed and more. All you need is your clothes and food. The kitchen is labeled, made it so easy to find everything. The mattress were VERY comfortable. GREAT location, a short walk (block and 1/2) to the Seawall and close to restaurants. Nice backyard for gatherings late in the evening. This place is very pet friendly. If you have any questions just call or text the owners. They are very quick to get back with you. I would rent this bungalow again, if we do another girls trip. Thanks Ron and Carol!

We planned an impromptu trip to Galveston and saw this house on VRBO. It is a gorgeous cute home. The location block and a half from ocean as well as amenities, backyard, front porch,beds eveything was great. The owners were wonderful hosts and we couldn't have found a better place. Thank you for making it an unforgettable trip.

Lovely location and plenty of commodities to help us enjoy our stay. The wagon full of beach toys was a great bonus, and we spent a good amount of time in the evenings hanging out in the back garden. Would love to visit again someday.

I was here racing Ironman Texas 70.3 and this property/location couldn't have been more perfect! Everything was organized, labeled, fully stocked and clean! Ron and Carol were quick to respond to any questions we had and so sweet! I wish I could have stayed longer but this is definitely a place I would return to for my next Galveston trip! Loved it!!!

This has been one of the best stays we've had. The house is beautiful and very well maintained. Every little detail has been considered. The amenities are fantastic. It's close to the beach, the Galveston pier, a community center, and a small convenient store. We will DEFINITELY stay here again when we're back in Galveston!

Our stay was very pleasant, furniture comfy and decor is fun! Managers have generously supplied anything we needed. Fenced backyard is private and nicely furnished. The outdoor shower was great for our dog that loves swimming.

The property is just as represented, well furnished and organized with everything you could possibly need. The location is great. My husband and I stayed two weeks with our two standard poodles. Welcome snacks and beverages. So kind. The fenced in yard with nice grass and pretty patio was such a plus. As an asthmatic, the clean house, no rugs, and no added scents or heavily scented products was wonderful. The communication with the hosts was great and their recommendations on area events, restaurants, etc. so helpful. This is a great place to stay. Look no further. Thank you!

The owners put a lot of effort into making their rental property inviting and very accomodating. Every item from bathing supplies to wine accessories were not only easily accessible. That were organized and labelled as well. The back yard provided a nice additional respite and was very dog friendly. Thank you also for being Texas friendly.

This rental was simply amazing! I was blown away with how well stocked the house was. Location is perfectly situated as it's walking distance to the beach. The backyard was absolutely adorable!

My husband and I stayed for a couple of days with our 10 month and 2 medium size dogs. The house was absolutely perfect for us. It had pretty much anything we might need as far as cooking utensils, towels, blankets/bedding, even dog friendly items like bowls and extra poop bags if needed. The backyard was so lovely to hang out in with the dogs in the evening - the party lights are a great touch. We loved the home's location - everything was either a quick walk or drive away. We will definitely be making another family trip to the house next year!

House is a bright and comfortable space. Everything is well labeled and easy to find and well-stocked with convenience items. Check in and check out was super easy!

Could not ask for anything more in a vacation spot. This was steps from the beach and the owners thought of just about every single thing in advance of our arrival. We used every inch of this place and it was perfect for 2 adults and a 10 year old. Owners were super responsive and helpful. We will absolutely stay here again the next time we come to Galveston.

This home is perfect! From the minute you walk in you feel great. It is beautifully decorated, full stocked, great location and only 2 blocks from the beach and The Spot. The owner is super friendly and very helpful. This is our 2nd time staying at home and will always be our go to when in Galveston.

Me, my wife, and two kids (14 & 10) stayed here for a few days. The property was clean, well stocked, and in a great location. We really enjoyed how many things were within walking distance, and any of the other activities we had planned were short drive away.
The house itself was a good size for us considering that we spent a lot of time out and about. Only two bedrooms so one of the kids utilized the pull-out sofa bed.
The one issue we had was the internet/tv service. Typically not a huge factor in deciding where to stay, but with my kids’ internet needs and the College World Series playing on TV, I have to say the internet/tv service was very much sub-par. It’s also not the most user friendly system, and this coming from someone who is extremely technology proficient.
The check-in/check-out process was super easy, and I would definitely go back in the future.

We’ve stayed in many places on the island. This is by far the best! The house is immaculate and stocked with everything imaginable. The hosts have thought of everything. The communication of Ron and Carol is unsurpassed. On top of everything else, the location is prime. Enjoy your time on the porch as it’s the best spot for people watching. Speaking of The Spot, it’s walking distance. Great weekend. Thanks, Ron and Carol!!

Our family truly loved the house, location, amenities, and hosts. The walk to the beach was lovely and the beach items that were available were in excellent condition. Our family loves to cook and the kitchen had every item we could ever need to make big dinners and breakfasts. The Pier is so close that we had an easy walk, and we got to enjoy some awesome local ice cream at Cordray Drug Store. Five stars!!!
