Small but functional
The home was small but functional. The beds did not seem to be queen size but the headboards were. The cleaning crew was still working when we arrived and asked us to give them additional time to finish. The neighborhood was questionable, lots of foot traffic, men sitting on the corner with loud music and drinking. As single women we would not stay here again, it did not feel safe.

Very cute property. Everything in the listing was correct. Very clean and decor was cute. Super easy to get around Galveston by walking. The area the house is located in is kind of a mix. It is ok during the day but at night I would recommend that you are home before dark. I would book stay here again.

My husband and I came to town for Dickens on the Strand. The cottage was absolutely perfect! It was within walking distance of the Strand, restaurants and breweries. We will definitely be back!

Fantastic!!!
This was a fantastic stay. We enjoyed this cottage before boarding a Royal Caribbean cruise. This was perfect for our short stay and we really enjoyed the outside space. We were 4 adults, it was a little tight, but the cottage was clean and quaint and, given the adfordable price, was perfect for us. Thank you for sharing with us.

Home was great but not in an ideal neighborhood. Everything was easy to get to. It was nice coming back to a comfortable home after spending the day out. Thanks Kally.
