We were so comfortable at this cute house full of interesting antiques and modern conveniences, and our little dog too! Great location, friendly neighbors, and a fully equipped kitchen. We got the rest we were seeking!
This house was so cute! I loved the updated features inside and my son loved the “secret” game room downstairs. The only downside was the bed in the primary room and the sofa sleeper were both pretty uncomfortable and very loud if you move around in them. Overall, we were very happy with the property and how quickly the owners responded to our communication.
It was a decent little cottage. We were there to visit with friends and attend the sand castle competition. The only 2 discomforts I would mention are; the kitchen was incredibly warm since there wasn’t an AC unit and trying to cook just heated it up more. and the bed closest to front door was uncomfortable for my husband
and I. It felt broken down. Otherwise it was a cute, clean place.
Our family really enjoyed this house and its amenities, especially the proximity to the strand. The parking passes for the beach and street made things very convenient. We loved the garage with its lights and games for the kids. All in all a very cozy and accommodating stay. Would stay again and recommend to families looking for a cozy place near the beach.
Our family of four stayed in this charming cottage for five days. The kitchen was well provisioned, AC cold, single bathroom roomy enough for everyone’s stuff, and the hangout space below was an especially huge hit with the kids. Access to Porretto Beach was great, but only open on the weekend during our stay. Overall a great little house for a beach escape.
Location was good. Home’s style and vibe was pleasant. Loved the cozy beach feel. Loved the downstairs area.
Floors were a bit dirty. Had to vacuum up sand and dust balls. Pull out bed had a layer of sand. Couldn’t use.
Short walk to the beach, 1 mile from downtown (walkable), wonderful neighborhood to bike. Close to restaurants. House is beautifully decorated and clean, well-stocked and beds were comfortable. Communication was great. Nice TV. We found the sofa to be very uncomfortable, but maybe that's just us. I don't sit a lot on vacation, but it's nice to unwind at the end of the day. We appreciated the extra touches for our pups. Would definitely love to stay here again! Thank you.
We had a great time staying in the cottage. Everything was perfect. It was close to the beach and Downtown. Felt safe in the neighborhood. Walking distance to the beach but it was too hot for us to walk and my parents are elderly. So I would say car was better for us but parking was easy. The house was well stocked with board games for the kids and a game room downstairs was a nice touch. QEven my fur baby was comfortable. It was nicely decorated and clean. Would definitely recommend it.

Darling house!
I love this cozy little home. Fantastic location - you can walk down the street to the beach. Although a classic Galveston home, it was nicely updated and had all the amenities we needed. I'd love to come back and invite friends as the downstairs garage is set up like a fun ice house/ hangout space. It would be (literally!) a cool place to hang out during warmer weather as you can raise the door to get the sea breeze and hear the ocean but you're protected from the sun and somewhat insulated from the heat. Host was great and is really open to feedback on making a great place even better.

The Perfect Place
The Sealy Cottage sealed the deal on a perfect beach getaway ! I had not been to Galveston in over 30 years and was not quite sure what to expect. The location was great for us. The neighborhood is very safe and cute, parking is easy with the residential guest pass, access to the beach is totally walkable, and the beaches weren’t crowded during our visit. We walked to the beach every morning and evening and took looonnng walks all the way down to the end of East Beach. The dog was in heaven. I had to do some work while there and the Internet was fast, and the dining room table was the perfect desk. We cooked most meals at the cottage and the kitchen was well appointed. The beds were comfortable, and the furnishings were very nice. Overall, it just couldn’t have been any better. Highly recommend.
My family and I had a great experience. Our party included my husband, 10 and 6 year olds, and our infant. The house was very clean, in a safe/convenient location. Staff was beyond helpful and responsive. I left my wallet behind— the staff found it and overnighted it to me. Great experience. We will definitely return!!
