Great for our stay. We did not use the kitchen, but great to have. easy check out. Having laundry available was nice. Bed was comfortable and a/c worked great for middle of July as it was hot outside and a/c was able to keep up, even up stairs.

Really enjoyed this house. Stayed one night as we were leaving on a cruise. Very clean, everything we needed was available. The cookies left was an added bonus that my daughter loved! This will be our new go to place to stay when visiting Galveston for short or long stays.

We booked the property the night before our Royal Caribbean Cruise. It was a nice property that had everything we needed. It was close to the beach. Our kids loved that the owner left Easter cookies for them. Will stay again if we return to Galveston.

Great spot and a great price

We enjoyed our stay at The Cottage; all of the information was sent to me a couple of days before so it was very easy to get into the house. It was very clean, there were cookies waiting for us 🍪 and cold bottled water in the fridge. Everything you might need was available, even chairs, towels and water toys, games, and toys. It’s a great place to stay in the great city of Galveston!
