Good Times were had by all

Very comfortable for three people, in a convenient location if you rent a car. Not perfect if you have mobility issues, but doable. Lockbox proved difficult to open, but owners/managers were very responsive. We would stay again.

Sweet stay in Galveston

Pictures don’t do this home justice. It is a very tastefully done space with everything you need. The queen bed was super comfortable, the neighborhood was quiet (except for the one Mardi Gras parade that went by but to be expected). As we were visiting for a wedding, we didn’t do much cooking beyond simple breakfast but the kitchen has what you need to make meals. There also is comfortable abundant seating in the living room and everything is just so well done. Linens and towels were lovely and I highly recommend this space if you need to travel to Galveston.

Nice cottage

Nice furnishings and plenty of towels & decent quality that seems to be missing in other cottages. Typical shared driveway for Galveston. Nice old wood floors with one exception that you had to be careful in a few places where the wood was pretty much rotted away underneath but on the surface it looked normal but the floor gave way. We have noticed this in other old homes we rented elsewhere on the island. It seems to be common just beware.

Annual vacation for family of 6- 4 small kids

The house was so cute and very clean. Had everything we needed. I was very thankful for laundry soap and other necessities that were provided. We experienced a delay at check-in but the issue was addressed quickly and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Would definitely stay at this property again!

Clean and welcoming

The house was very clean and comfortable for our family of 5. The pictures of the home are accurate. We brought an air mattress for our youngest. It is close enough to walk to the beach, but it would be too far if you have little ones. The shower is ok (claw foot tubs are terrible for showers), the bathroom sink is tiny for getting ready, and a hose outside to wash sand off would be nice. We would definitely stay here again.

PERFECT!!!!

Do yourself a favor and stay here! I love this little house so much I would live here! It is SO cozy, SUPER clean, and the decor is just the icing on the cake. The kitchen had everything we needed to make multiple meals and the beds were super comfortable... oh and the air conditioner worked great! That is a huge deal in the heat and humidity. :) Me, my sister and aunt all agreed we will be coming back next summer, but this time extending our stay! We really didn't want to leave. THANK YOU to our hosts for having a home that IS exactly as described!

Awesome visit to the island!

The cortage was clean and comfortable. As an antique dealer/decorator, I appreciated the decor and mix of old and new. The kitchen and laundry supplies and comfortable beds were also very much appreciated. Three blocks to the beach and having a house to ourselves and 3 teens made our 16 hr drive so worth it. Life is too short to stay in a small, cramped and generically decorated hotel room! Thank you Cy and Michael for your hospitality!
