Myself, my husband & dog loved this place!! The location was close to everything on the island.
The house itself was so cute! Will be coming back this summer!
This was a nice place to stay while visiting with family and friends who live in Galveston. Easy to get to places I wanted to go. They had thoughtful touches which were appreciated.
The house was so cute and a perfect size for our little family! It’s in a perfect location to Pleasure Pier, East Beach, local delicious restaurants, and more! All neighbors friendly and we felt very at home! Being originally from New Orleans, it had the vibe we love with a fun, calming beachy twist! I’d definitely recommend the Lavender House or any of their properties! Hosts are attentive, kind, and always available to help! Definitely book with them!

Not a safe area
Not a safe location people fighting in front lots of loitering from big party in the corner house police was called due to fightsDid not feel safe due to heavy traffic and several cars coming and going from the area.
It was my sister and brother’s first time to experience Galveston Mardi Gras and I wanted to stay someplace close, this place was perfect! It had every amenity that we needed and more! The owners go above and beyond to make sure you enjoy your stay. I will definitely book with them again. Thank you!!
Enjoyed our stay. Cottage was clean, and tidy. Had an issue with ants but not a real problem. Neighbors were all very kind. Every person that we interacted with in Galveston was very polite.
House is super cute and clean. Check in was easy. Pet friendly! Only suggestion is maybe include the backyard is shared in case other homes have dogs too. Our dogs are friendly but don’t like being startled by other animals. Host was super quick to respond on communication.
My husband, myself and 14 yr old grandson at the Lavender house. It looked just like the pictures on vrbo. The colors of the outside and the cute little front porch were great. The beds were comfy and the rooms inviting. My grandson loved the fact we could venmo a pizza for him! All in all it was a great place to stay. I would book again. Orlando and Kally thank you so much for a lovely stay!
We booked this cute cottage for our stay before our cruise. It was just blocks away from the port and was really neat to see the ships in the morning. Everything was perfect and clean.
Just a word of advice—if you book during high school football season, be prepared to hear the game and if you leave losing your parking spot. We left to go eat and when we returned our spot was taken, we drove around Galveston for about 30 minutes before the space was freed up. Wasn’t a big deal at all just wanted to prepare others.
I booked the cottage for myself, husband, and another couple, but had to back out at the last minute. Ended up being just our friends staying and they loved it. Kalli is a very understanding and responsive host. I would definitely rent again!
The beds were horrible, very hard. The house smells like mildew. Floor was uneven and soft on areas. We all had bug bites when we woke up the next day. Looks like spider bites. We were attempted to be attacked by 4 aggressive pit bull mix dogs when we first arrived and were getting out of the car.
Had everything we could possibly need. Cute clean little house. Loved all the extra personal touches. They had stuff available if you need or forgot something. To far to walk to the beach if older or wanting to take chairs and stuff. Neighborhood was a little run down. No driveway which is fine for some but I don't like parking on the street.
A comfortable, clean cottage. Great beds and pillows.
We loved this property. Just a 10 minute walk to Pleasure Pier and the beach. Close to lots of good restaurants. I was exactly what we needed, and more! Extremely happy!
We stayed for 2 nights prior to our cruise. Super clean and so very cute! Everything you need is included. Comfortable beds - which are so hard to find. Nice patio area outside. Great place to stay. Highly recommend!!!
