Cozy at bay.
Comfortable, clean. Tiny kitchen area; don't expect to do much cooking.

Quick get away
Very clean well taken care of property. We had to leave early and were sad we didn’t get to utilize the pool. Perhaps next time.

Great coastal getaway
I really enjoyed my stay. The property was clean and inviting, hosts were great on communication and the location was perfect. I had a conversation with the housekeeper while exploring the property. She gave me some additional tips on the facility amenities, local restaurants and grocery stores. She was very kind. I hope to visit the coast again next year and stay at this unique location again.

Away from the crowds
What U see in the ad is what U get so no surprises. The only way it could have been better is if the water front was white sand instead of grass & rock, but that’s nature, not the property owner. If you’re considering this location then don’t hesitate, especially for a longer stay

Thanks for choosing us, and sorry about the pool. The week prior to your arrival we had temperatures in the 40's and 30's. Felt it was too cool to open since it is not heated. But I know you enjoyed the spas. You have a lovely family, and we hope to see you in the future. Pat

Perfect weekend getaway
We loved the place. It was perfectly suited for a weekend getaway. It’s not always easy to find places to take our dogs with us, but this place is very pet friendly. It’s close to Kemah so there’s lots of things to do for the weekend.

Thank you, Chris. We are so glad you enjoyed The Captain's Quarters and were able to bring your fur baby with you. We love our pets and find it hard to travel other places as well because we cannot take our dogs with us. Come back and see us again!

Great place to visit...
The location of "Come Friday" is perfectly located 5 minutes to Kemah and about 30 minutes to Galveston. Oceanfront, with a nice dock to fish from. Several places to relax in the shade. Fire pit, gas and charcoal grill available. Many extras! There are several places (cottages) to pick from, depending on how many are in your party. Great, Christian owners/operators that cater to your every request. Cable TV in every building, ceiling fans and good A/C units!! Tucked away in a quiet neighborhood, and not near the loud highway ( 3 minute drive to a main road CR 146). Lots to pick from for restraunts...or cook for yourself in your room on a gas stove!! We will return for another visit!

Amazingly cozy and they take care of every detail!
We highly recommend staying here. We were immediately welcomed and treated like family. Everything was perfect. I enjoyed looking at all the adorable decorations throughout our cabin. They gave us great recommendations for places to go and the best places to eat. Fishing off the private pier was very relaxing with the warm breeze blowing. Our puppies even loved the vacation. We can’t wait to come back!!!

I chose The Captain's Quarters solely for the location. After day trips to Galveston and Kemah, I wanted to come back to a quiet place with a great view. Come Friday Cottages by the Bay did not disappoint. We had a great time on our mini vacation, and this property played a huge part in having a wonderful time.

A LITTLE PIECE OF HEAVEN ON EARTH!
My husband and I came to just relax and get a much needed rest. PERFECT PLACE! The property and the room were very clean. The owners and their daughter were very nice and take pride in their place and making sure you are comfortable and feel welcome. I actually hesitate in giving such a good review because I would like to keep this place, as my own little secret get-away. We will definitely be returning regularly as circumstances allow.

Adorable and relaxing
I absolutely enjoyed our stay in the Captain's Quarters. It was so cozy and decorated so cute with lots of thoughtful touches and very clean. The whole property was great. We enjoyed looking at all the plants and cute statues and signs. Someone there has a green thumb. We also enjoyed drinking our coffee out on the pier. I highly recommend this property and hope I have an opportunity to go back.

My new favorite getaway!
My husband and I stayed in the Captain's Quarters. The room was perfect and included everything listed including access to the on site laundry mat, which was very convenient after visiting the beach. We were greeted by the hosts and shown around the property upon arriving. We arrived ahead of schedule and were allowed to check in as soon as the room became available. We enjoyed the pool, spa and the property was very clean and comfortable. The view was beautiful and the location is a short drive to the Kemah Boardwalk and El Jardín Beach, which we visited during our stay. We will definitely be visiting again. We truly enjoyed our stay!
