Just a few minutes away, the gleaming sands of Galveston Beach await – but you’ll love this charming, elevated home so much, you won’t want to leave. Complete with string lights, rocking chairs, a gas grill, and patio table, the wraparound second-floor deck is the perfect place for morning coffee and evening cocktails. Inside, the vaulted ceiling makes the open floor plan feel even more spacious. Characterful touches like shiplap and exposed wooden beams meld seamlessly with modern updates. The modern, fully updated kitchen – with a pressed tin backsplash – offers everything the chef needs to cook up a masterpiece. Grab a barstool at the kitchen island, or step outside to dine alfresco on the deck.

At the end of a fun day, make yourself comfortable in the recliner and stream your favorite shows…or call it a night in what’s sure to be one of the most unique bedrooms you’ve ever slept in – think 'treehouse modern.' A comfortable queen bed features four thick ropes instead of banisters, and a landscape painted behind the bed helps set the treehouse scene. But before falling asleep, save time for a bubblebath in that copper soaking tub. Extra perks at this home include a washer/dryer, free WiFi and cable, and central AC.

Leider nicht empfehlenswert!
Die Bilder wurde sehr positiv aufgenommen. Die Bilder trügen etwas. Die Inneneinrichtung im Haus ist gut, aber wesentlicher kleiner als auf den Fotos. Es gibt wenig Geschirr und trotz des Kühlschranks werden keine Eiswürfel zur Verfügung gestellt. Ein Infobuch über die Gegend und die Wohnung wäre auch nett und hilfreich gewesen. So kennen wir das aus den anderen Häusern. Dank des vorherigen Kommentars haben wir von der Problematik mit den Kakerlaken erfahren und auch welche gesehen. Im Haus war sonst soweit alles in Ordnung. Unterhalb des Hauses war alles verrottet und vergammelt. Check in mit dem Code hat leider nicht funktioniert. Wir hatten Probleme mit dem öffnen der Tür durch den Code und der Gasgrill ist verrottet und wurde mit Kohle benutzt . Auf dem anderen Grill/Smoker waren noch Essensreste .Man hat uns weder ernst genommen noch geholfen. Obwohl jemand bei uns immer mal wieder am Haus war. Was auch nicht abgesprochen war und sich seltsam anfühlte. Die Antwort waren Standardantworten und es wurde final nicht geklärt. Leider nicht empfehlenswert!

Very modern
We loved the house. The vaulted ceilings made the 750 sq ft seem very much larger. Large bath, awesome shower, very comfortable bed, washer & dryer, modern living room furniture and kitchen. Loved it! Only 300 steps to the beach 😊

Nice quiet stay
Stayed here with my wife the night before we boarded a cruise for our honeymoon. We enjoyed the location. Quiet, peaceful and only a short drive from all the fun things in Galveston. Also a few minutes' walk to the beach. Cottage was everything advertised, and we both enjoyed our stay.

Amazing house
How was so amazing and cozy. Room to kitchen to living room and patio and under house out door shower. So close to the beach!! Had brand new propane bottle but grill didn’t work. Connection has a leak so could grill the steaks and food we bought prior. Also no remote to tv in living room and no Keurig machine. Other than that, highly recommend

Cockroaches! Stay away!
We initially liked the house but we started seeing big cockroaches in the from the first night. We killed around 10 of them and asked the landlord to send pest control but the landlord said that they can't do anything about it. Our kids couldn't sleep well at night. It was very frustrating. Other than this the place is old but renovated pretty good. It's good enough for a family of 4 people. Definitely needs pest control!

Perfect Beach getaway for small families
The house was perfect for a family of four. The kids (2) slept on the pull out bed in the front room and we took the main bed. It was clean, and made to feel as if you were near the sea. We hope to go back to this location when we return to Galveston. Perfect location near the ocean too.

Perfect getaway
This house was the perfect getaway for my teenage son and I. Really close walk to the beach without having to worry about the hustle and bustle of the strand traffic. Close to the fishing pier as well. The house was clean and adorable with everything we needed!

Great little house
Short distance to the beach and the home is very nice. The bed is comfortable, could use a couple more pillows to have more than one for the sofa bed. If I could, I would come stay every weekend!

Adorable Cottage
What a great stay! This cottage fit our needs perfectly! It was probably the most well stocked rental we have ever stayed in. It was very clean and so nicely decorated and up to date. Unfortunately, we didn’t have time to utilize the pool, but what a neat spot. We met Bianca the first day and she was so kind and welcoming. We knew she was available if we needed anything, but there was not one single thing we needed during our stay. Thank you so much for sharing your cottage. I wish we could have stayed longer. Hope to return next year.

Beach House
Very nice house 1 block from a great beach. Very clean. Beach was great. Private but not too far from town. (Stores/restaurants) outdoor shower to get all the sand off. Full kitchen. Modern, clean house.

In the perfect spot!
This cottage was so nice! It was clean, had a HUGE tub, the hot water didn't even run out trying to fill it (the only complaint I have on it was that the stopper did not work, so I had to improvise). It looked very nice and updated, easy to find (sticking true to the theme of ropes), and it's in an area that isn't very heavily populated (in January). The weather was still nice this winter so I was able to get to the beach. Easy walking distance. Less than 5 minute walk. I watched a beautiful sunrise. I really enjoyed my stay here!
