We had an amazing stay at this beach house! The home was clean, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The bedroom was cozy and comfortable, the kitchen was fully stocked, and the outdoor space was perfect for morning coffee. Communication with the host was easy and friendly throughout our stay. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this rental to anyone looking for a relaxing beach vacation.

The Mermaid House was perfect for our couples getaway. The house was clean, close to the beach and restaurants. The outside lights weren’t working the 1st night but Rhonda was very quick to get them fixed. The kitchen has everything you need. We were so thankful for the off the street parking because out front you may have issues finding parking close to the house. The house was beautiful and comfortable, I couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Thank you!

We enjoyed our stay so much! It was the perfect getaway for us. The cottage was so cozy and welcoming. You could feel the history in the home in a way that that just isn't possible in a cookie cutter condo or hotel.

We had a wonderful stay at this beach cottage. It was very clean and quaint, and the quiet neighborhood made it especially relaxing. We really enjoyed sitting on the porch in the evenings. The cottage is also an easy walk to the beach and several restaurants. The host was great, and we would definitely come back again.

The host was very easy to engage with. The home is very cute. The location was nice and easy to access the beach. Unfortunately it was very quite dirty. I believe there was black mold in the home and I became ill with a sinus infection shortly after our stay. Again, it’s a cute home, but needs some rehab and deep cleaning.

A lovely two months

Rick and Rhonda, were the perfect host and we so enjoyed their cottage. It was close to the beach close to downtown and had a nice neighborhood feel. I could go on and on, but suggest you try it for yourself.!!

just a little getaway

the cottage was cheerfully decorated and cozy. The bed and couch were comfortable and there was very nice seating for six on an outside patio. It has a great location very near the beach and also convenient for the downtown district. The neighborhood was nice and we always felt safe. There are plenty of nice eateries close by. We will stay there again if it's just the two of us. One or two more people could be manageable but it's best for just two. Host was very responsive and welcoming.

Fabulous little mermaid house

Rhonda is amazing. She answers right away and so easy to work with. The house is so clean and comfortable. She did some personal things to make our 10 year anniversary special! The neighborhood was great! Walking distance to the beach and restaurants. The pass to Porretto beach with chairs and umbrella were a great bonus! The beach is really nice as well as the people that run it! We are sad to say goodbye, but we can’t wait to plan our next trip to the little mermaid house! Thank you for your hospitality and making this such a great anniversary trip!

Well, when you say you would stay here again that tells you a lot! Great additional parking pad in alley with safe fence access( parked there a lot because street parking usually taken. Wonderful patio to relax on. Rhonda’s husband was walking their dog when we arrived and he helped us park and gave us tips. Clean comfortable cottage perfect for my granddaughter and me. Had anything you would need for a stay(very thoughtful) Great-great location for everything, easy to beach, shops and restaurants. So in summary- loved it and would stay again! BIG PLUS- I left over 1000 dollars worth of jewelry in a velvet pouch on bed….they were so honest and kind, they let me know and mailed to me fedx…..thank God for honest folks still out there who truly care about those who stay with them….if I could give them 10 stars I would!!!

I absolutely loved the little beach house. Rhonda was very tentative. The home was very cozy. Enjoyed reading a little about the history in the house.The fresh paint looked fabulous and I loved loved the plants in the backyard. I can’t wait to return to see the lemon tree. I highly recommend staying at the little beach House in Galveston.

Communications with the host, Ms. Rhonda, was top-notch. She responded right away with answers to our concerns/questions about the amenities on the property. It's an older house built in the 1900's and it kinda reminds me of the type of house I grew up in. :)The living room/kitchen area is very cool/cold (needed a blanket while watching TV), but the bedroom, which is located in the rear of the house, was not as cool. It was sort of warm and stuffy. The ceiling fan helped a bit to keep the bedroom comfortable at night. I also brought a desk fan that helped tremendously. The property did fit the need for our short 3-night getaway for our anniversary. The beach was about 3-4 blocks from the property (was too far for me to walk, it was too hot - July) LOL Rhonda had a bottle of wine in the refrigerator for us, which I thought was a nice gesture. The house is suffice, in my opinion, for a short stay.
