A place to relax
Our host , Julie, is so sweet! She left us drinks and snacks, met us upon our arrival and provided a personal tour of the property and recommendations for dining. The gardens were absolutely beautiful and all the seating made it so easy to enjoy them. The inn was nice and provided everything we needed. A great little trip for our anniversary!

Remote, but so close!
We stayed here for our 24th wedding anniversary weekend that just happened to share the 4th of July weekendl holiday. It was so nice and secluded. But there was also a restaurant in walking distance. It’s 15 min from Walmart. So we shopped at family dollar for some essentials. Galveston is a short drive away, we had a great day trip there. Then it was so nice to come back to a secluded garden paradise and enjoyed our stay! Hostesses were very communicative and helped when we asked for it. I recommend this stay for any couple looking to get away, but still be with in walking distance to the beach and there are several attractions within driving distance. Thank you Hostesses for your hospitality and a great Vrbo first time stay.

We loved the property and literally walked threw back yard to get to Pier 6. Beautiful landscaped walk to enjoy the water, enjoyed setting at bistro table. The only drawbacks were their was someone staying up above us and was up running around at 1am to 4 am and again late into the night the next. The bed was a little to hard for us but we got a good sleep the last night no one was upstairs. The area and cottage was so relaxed and clean. Would love to stay again

Immaculate, charming bungalow
Located in laid-back San Leon, this retreat offers a peaceful place to unwind. Parking under a covered canopy gave easy & direct access to a back door to unload the vehicle.
Central air works even with 100 degree temps outside. Comfortable queen bed with upscale linens. Bathroom has plenty of grab bars for safety with plush, oversize towels.
Kitchen is functional with a better than average set of cutlery. I could not find a toaster nor toaster oven as described in listing. Used the oven instead to brown toast - easy remedy.
Aptly named the "Gallery," this well-insulated concrete block construction is decorated with an eclectic mix of furnishings and art. Seafood restaurants nearby: Pier 6 and Top-Water Grill both had water views.
