About this cottage rental

Seaside Cottage

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Pack your bags, get everyone ready, and don't forget Fido for an amazing vacation at this bayfront dog-friendly home. Come unwind with the whole family while you revel in the water views and enjoy having the beach as your playground when you book your seaside stay!

This vacation rental is located toward the western side of Galveston Island, near Jamaica Beach. Set just a short walk from the golden Texas Gulf Coast shore, this home gives you the chance to hit the waves with ease.

Bright and spacious, the main living area beckons you to come sink into the soft blue couches after a long day on the beach. Check out what's on cable or make some small bites to enjoy later on when you watch your favorite DVD on the flatscreen TV.

Step out onto the deck to read a book in the peace of the ocean breeze, or listen to some tunes over the WiFi while you unwind. Use the gas grill to cook up your fresh catch, or head back into the comfort of the central A/C to do some cooking in the kitchen.

Featuring a full-size refrigerator, microwave, and a breakfast bar to serve on, keeping everyone fueled up and ready for the next outing will be a piece of cake. Get everyone together around the classic dining room table, or spread out on the deck and at the breakfast bar.

When it's time to turn in, this two-bedroom, one-bathroom home will sleep up to eight guests and two small pups with ease. Please note a 25-pound weight limit for dogs and a nightly pet fee. In the master bedroom, there is a soft queen-size bed and plenty of storage for all of your belongings. With two more twin-size beds in the second room, as well as a twin-size bunk bed, you'll be able to spread out in privacy. If you need more sleeping space there are two futons available.

Wake up early to launch off the dock to explore the beautiful waters of Ostermayer Bayou. Take a few pictures of the local marine life while you paddle through the deep blue waters. Book a tee time at one of the nearby golf courses to drive the fairways and unwind in the warm Texas sun.

Spend a day wandering through the colored pyramids of Galveston's Moody Gardens. Watch the sharks swim overhead as you walk through the glass tunnel. Head into the Rainforest Pyramid to see the monkeys, then jump on Colonel Paddlewheel Boat for a ride through waters.

With fun around every corner and relaxation blowing in on the ocean breeze, this Texas home puts the best of everything at your fingertips.

    This is the second time we stayed at this beach house. It’s in a great location. Very close walk to the beach and stores are close by if you need anything. They have remodeled a lot of things since the first time we stayed there and that definitely made this time great. Will definitely stay here again. The only thing they could do is have softer towels and sheets, but you know what I can bring my own. It’s not a deal breaker for me. The air was cold and the neighborhood is quiet. Great place in my opinion.

    We enjoyed the couple nights we were there for a quick getaway. The beach is a very short walk and is on sand the entire way.

    Cleanliness could have been alot better. Nasty pillows and pillow covers, Dirty dishes in the cabinet, sheets and blankets were dirty. Vacad Customer service does not understand a simple question. The get away from home for awhile was nice, but wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. No seating on the deck.

    Only 125 feet from the beach. Clean, newly renovated. All the necessities you need. Very happy with this place, neighbors were nice. Close to stores and downtown but off the beaten path. Would recommend to anyone!

    Arrived on Sunday, A/C was off, house was 88 degrees. Advised owner that it was off and there was other damages around the property. She offered refund for the night or we could move to a bay side property. I chose this house despite the reviews because of location. A/C repair was to come next day to fix the a/c. I accepted refund for the night that we would stick it out because we loved the location. View was terrible but only short walk to the beach. Next day a/c guy came late in the day and determined it would need replaced it was beyond repair. So owner then offered another beach side house so we had to pack up and move. Still havent received the refund we were promised. House is terribly outdated, mini blinds in every room were either broken or didnt fit windows. Large window in shower so hope you're not shy because neighbors will see it all. The 3rd bedroom does not have a 3rd bed, no futon, only bunk beds. House definitely left some to be desired. Owner was good to communicate up until we left then stopped responding and never got refunded for first miserable night. House needs a lot of TLC, has some potential if owners cared to invest any efforts into it. I certainly wont make the mistake of booking this house again. Save yourself the trouble!
