Grandfather - Father - Grandson on holiday to NASA, Minute Maid Park and Galveston. This home was a welcome retreat in escaping the Heat Wave of 2023 as we came and went on this journey. Thanks to Brian for your availability and support.

Great location close to restaurants and shops. Quite street. Home worked excellent for our short stay. Awesome upgraded cottage and would stay again. The only small issue was that the beds were really small.

Me, two Elementary aged sons and hubby stayed here and had a grand time. We wanted an elegant atmosphere to celebrate our Vow Renewal and Ramadan holiday. It was a perfect setting for some nice photos. It was also very close to pleasure pier which is where we wanted to spend some time. The living room was such an inspiring place to relax and the kids having their own TV in their room was also convenient for us. Loved the cottage & will definitely be using some of their decor ideas in our home.

This property was perfect for us. Our granddaughter had surgery at UTMB which was right down the street. We were so comfortable and we had everything we needed. The property is beautifully decorated as well. Highly recommend this wonderful property and we will definitely return when we are in the area again!

This was a beautiful cottage. The location was perfect for us. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Quiet area and easy to get to any location.

This is the cutest house for a Galveston stay. I liked that it had off street parking and was close to the pleasure pier and Seawall. Also wasn’t a bad 10ish minute drive to moody gardens.

The house was perfect for us to stay while visiting our college kid. It was located close to everything.

We sere very pleased with our weekend stay. Appreciated the coffee pods. While we did not require it for our short stay, it appeared the dishwasher was not working. Or at least I could not get it to start.

Very nice place to stay. Decorated nicely and lots of windows. The place was clean, except when I lifted the bed sheet off of one of the beds there was a dead bug, so that was very upsetting to see. The neighborhood was quiet. It was about a three minute drive to the beach. So if your looking for a place right in front of the sea wall this is not it. Overall we were happy with our stay at sonnidays.

Not worth the money
The house itself was cute, however, our daughter and her family stayed at another property that was 5 minutes away which was 3x the size, 3 bathrooms instead of 1, had actual soap provided (ours did not) and kitchen supplies including k cups (ours did not) and several beds to accommodate the whole family for about $30 more a night. Guest contact was also not very responsive.

My friend and I were looking for a relaxing and lovely "girls' getaway" spot where we could find some peace and quiet but be close to special things to do / see in Galveston. This property was absolutely wonderful, the decor was sophisticated and welcoming and the host was kind and responsive--I would stay there again in a heartbeat!

Lovely vintage home!
Really lovely home! Loved the floors, ceilings and lighting! Very nice renovated kitchen. Nice neighborhood right between beach and bay. Able to walk everywhere. Everything completely updated! A bugger bed would have been nice but there were two and they were very comfy! If I were the owners I would put a squeegee in the shower and a few hangers in the bedroom with the shelf with the bar.
