This is a beautiful home and instantly comfortable and homey. Everything works and the kitchen and bathrooms are well stocked and immaculate. Close to everything. Highly recommended.
The host, Asta, was great about sending information and a welcome letter a few days before we arrived. She checked in via message to see if we needed anything. The house was clean, well stocked with the essentials - towels and linens, kitchenware, coffee, water, basic toiletries. The weather was too chilly to enjoy the outdoor spaces, which look very inviting. All we had to do when we left was take out the garbage, turn off the lights and lock the door. We would definitely stay there again!
Love love love this cottage! Great location, easy to walk to places. Super cute outdoor areas. Interior is decorated in a lovely beach theme. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone visiting Galveston
Felt comfortable and at home the moment we drove up. Great location, super clean and true feel of Galveston Island living. Asta, our host, was very attentive and made us feel very comfortable with so many amenities to get us started. Will definitely be back for more home style comfort.
We loved our stay at this beautifully restored home decorated with so many beautiful furnishings! Asta was the perfect hostess and so kind-she provided a bottle of champagne and a card since we were celebrating our anniversary! It was an honor to be the first guests at this elegant and super clean cottage with so many amenities and so close to the beach. Everything was perfect- plenty of cooking utensils, games, she thought of everything. Next time I hope to have more time to enjoy the backyard/ veranda- so inviting! We will definitely be going back!
