About this cottage rental
Escape to the coastal Seahorse Cottage! This precious and notable cottage is just a short stroll to the Iconic Seawall and Beach. A 2 bedroom with 1 ½ bath treasure boasting high ceilings and 2 porches with French doors to an outdoor garden retreat.
Room Descriptions and Unique Features:
A 2 bedroom with 1 ½ bath treasure with 2 porches and French doors that open up to bistro seating aside the courtyard garden area.
The two bedrooms are peaceful sanctuaries with floor to ceiling windows letting in the coastal light, each has a TV for your relaxing enjoyment.
The living room area overlooks the courtyard and has TV along with some games for your entertainment. The fully equipped kitchen which includes a coffee station will give you ease for vacation cooking.
Outdoor Highlights:
Catch the Gulf breeze on the Side Porch enjoying morning coffee or evening wine while listening to the soothing water flow of the fountain. The Bistro set has a great built in ice bucket to chill your beverages. In the backyard you will find a fully gated courtyard with string lights, ideal for grilling or chatting under the stars after a fun day out. Help yourself to the garden herbs if cooking at "home".

If you don't find what you need at this cottage it doesn't exist. Asta has thought of everything! Super host, super clean, super location. We've already booked a return visit!!

I was skeptical about the perfect 10 rating, but they earned it! Everything was perfect, plus extras like snacks, lots of bottled water, and a nice note from the host. We’ll be back!

This house is so wonderful! Beautiful home. Well stocked and very thoughtfully detailed. Our host was incredible as we were surprised by a beautiful note and little Easter gifts… Totally over and above! The outside is precious with wonderful sitting places and the proximity to the beach is fantastic. Would stay here again and again! Thank you for a wonderful time!

We had a wonderful time with our family on a quick getaway to Galveston Island. The host was incredibly friendly and accommodating, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The cottage is conveniently located just a couple of blocks from the beach, making it easy to walk over, we were even able to pull a wagon with all our beach gear instead of driving. There are plenty of great restaurants nearby, and we especially enjoyed Willie G’s, Fish Tales, and Miller’s. The house was also well-equipped with everything we needed in case we wanted to cook at home.Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we would definitely stay here again!
