We are API integrated through a third party platform, AirBnB allows this. It's just a $200 hold on the card during your stay, and will be released after checkout. You can view this help article and verify that API integrated accounts are able to collect renter agreements and security deposits. I am sorry if this doesn't sit well with you, it's normal business practice with API integrated hosts. https://www.airbnb.com/help/article/140. We are 5* and SuperHost status and it's only a short hold on your card, not a charge. :-) We use a hosting platform (OwnerRez) and require it prior to releasing the door codes.

Great Property

We were in town for a wedding and this was a great location. It is on a main road, but we never had issues getting out of the house. Close to a ton of restaurants.

I like that the house did have a historical feel and was big and spacious. There was some construction going on right behind the house but not really a bother to us. We will be looking to book this house again on our future stays in Galveston if available.

Charming home

We enjoyed our stay here at the Cottage. The pictures depict it accurately. When the home was remodeled they did good work but still left a lot of the original parts of the home, it is so charming. I loved it. Very close to the beach , a little too far to walk to with coolers and beach gear. We drove to it in like 5 minutes or less. Sits in a good area of Galveston. We were close to lots of attractions and activities.

Very Clean!

Super clean home with friendly, fast communication with the host. Location is close to groceries, restaurants, etc, but located on a pretty busy road with not much to view from the balconies. Maybe this is a common thing for Galveston cottages, but the big drawback for us was that all the windows were shuttered at least halfway or all the way from the outside. Luckily we weren’t in the house much during the day. The house is clean and painted brightly, but if you want to let light in, this wouldn’t be the house for you. Otherwise, 5 stars!

Sisters Cruise

We needed a place to sleep the night before our cruise set sail. The two bathrooms were a great bonus! The one to the back of the place was huge and since we were all family, more than one could be drying hair or putting on makeup at a time. Communicating with Ruth was very easy and she was timely. Would definately recommend!

Quick Summer Family Getaway

The house was clean and comfortable, great for a little family trip. The kitchen was well stocked and they provided coffee which was nice. The host Ruth was helpful with any questions. We enjoyed our stay for a few days while the family had fun at the beach.

AC went out

Excellent accommodations! Very quick response to questions. Check in process very easy. However, air conditioning went out our first night in the July heat. I did wait until 7 o’clock the next morning to notify the owner. They were very quick to respond and did have air conditioning back on within approximately six hours of notification. Rental 2 nights….so 42 hours and was without AC for approximately half of that. Granted, once owner was notified, it was only about six hours. However, I do feel some sort of reimbursement should have been provided. Multiple attempts made, and owner declined.

THE guest enjoyed the cottage. They used the living room TV. Only problem we had was cooking. The pots and pans were not big enough for what we cooked. However we managed. Thanks for the fun time.

Great Stay

Really nice accommodation for the seven of us. We stayed prior to our cruise and it was an awesome place. The only thing I would recommend is larger soft blankets, although being in Texas you don’t usually need blankets!

Neat house! Very clean!

Overall, the property was great! Very cute, updated and clean! Our only issue was finding it in the dark. Our map was indicating the property was in the prior block and it was very tough to see any addresses in dark. Had to call property manager, but she was very helpful! Overall, five stars! She also allowed us a late checkout before we left on cruise!

We stayed here (myself, my husband, our 9, 8 and almost 2 year old) for a weekend. It was a great location for the beach, restaurants, the pleasure pier, and Moody Gardens. The house was so lovely, had wonderful amenities and was exactly as described. The communication with our host, Ruth, was wonderful as well. We would definitely stay here again!
