Our stay at this coastal cottage was absolutely perfect—beautifully decorated with a light, airy feel and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed to feel right at home. The location was unbeatable, just blocks from the beach with stunning and unique houses to explore. We especially loved mornings walks to the beach and sitting in the hot cowboy pool at night. The host was incredibly kind and responsive, making the entire experience seamless from start to finish. We left feeling relaxed and happy to have had such a great family vacation.

I'm a fan girl of this property and management! At the risk of never getting to book this place again because of my review, I have to give credit where it is due. The home was well appointed, well kept and in a great location. Wish I could have stayed longer! Andy was friendly, welcoming and quick to respond. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay!

This tiny home was in a charming neighborhood, close to the Gulf and walkable to the pier. It had everything we needed for a relaxing first trip to Galveston. The cowboy pool and efficient AC units were perfect for the weather.

I booked super last minute for a surprise beach trip with my daughter, I was grateful to get a quick response and approval for our stay, we arrived to a clean and cozy home and the hot tub was the perfect addition, the kitchen was super stocked for any kind of cooking a guest would want or need, they also had a beach wagon which was amazing since we are not beach locals and didnt need to buy somethings to only use 1 time. my daughter and I both loved our trip and would absolutely stay here again

Beautiful home that holds a special place in our hearts. Andy’s home is actually the place that me and my wife stayed out when we got engaged while also being able to add on another night because we loved the atmosphere so much. Since we loved the house so much, we actually booked Andy’s home for the night that we got married. Wonderful home, well kept up, and holds a special place in our hearts.

My boyfriend and I had a great stay here! The house was super cute and very clean, and the hot tub was great. Andy was very responsive and proactive in making sure we had no issues. The driveway was very steep, which Andy had warned us about, and we scraped the back of our truck, so I’d recommend parking on the street! The house was walkable to the beach and some restaurants which was nice. Overall the house was adorable and it’s a great place for a couples trip!
