This adorable cottage close to the beach had everything we needed for a perfect stay in Galveston! It was Clean, very close to the beach, and had an adorable front porch and back deck with plenty of space to relax in the beautiful weather. The beds were so comfy, and the host was friendly. We loved it!

The house was beautiful with comfortable beds and everything I needed to have a home base for my trip.

Needing to be on the phone with the cottage owner and smart lock company employee was a big clue to an ongoing problem. The owner did warn us that he had a smart lock on a 1901 door as well as a “trick” to get it to work but we had to try at least a dozen times. Even though we practiced with this “trick” we continued to have problems....Maybe the bigger issue was loose carpet squares on the steps to the 2nd floor...no matter how many times we adjusted 2 of them, they were continually unattached to the Velcro. Also, two dining room chairs had broken backrests. We stored them away from the table so we wouldn’t accidentally use them. As far as cleanliness, the inside was immaculate but we would have appreciated the back porch furniture to be wiped down. Everything was coated with winter grim.
