Wonderful Oasis
This beautiful home felt like our private little get away. It had everything we needed and things we didn't even know we wanted. Comfortable beds and furniture. All kitchen supplies you could imagine including dishwasher, washer/dryer, microwave, coffee pot and Keurig. Park-like feel to the front and back yard with all the trees and greenery. We spent hours on the front and back porches, visiting and watching the birds and squirrels. The seawall was very near (1 1/2 blocks), making walks to the beach an ease. And Murdock's was visible/walkable. There were 2 weather events while we were in Galveston, but we barely heard them from inside the quiet safety of the home. Lovely remodeled older home with all the modern conveniences, would highly recommend a stay here. We are older, retired and the door lock/app was not an issue, don't let other comments intimidate you.

Cute. Great location
Such a cute house! We were very comfortable. The location was walking distance to the beach and that was why we visited! The front porch was our favorite hangout! They should take the fire pit out of description or get a new one. It was buried in the weeds, broken apart and unusable. The barbecue had not been cleaned ever and it too was unusable and there was no gas in the tank. The back porch would have been wonderful to hangout on, but the cushions were dirty and soaked from the sprinkler. All in all, we made it work.

Great location
Lovely cottage that is close to the beach. The neighborhood is quiet. The cottage has a nice back porch. The owners put it a lot of work on the house and I'm glad they included historical information on the property. It was perfect for our stay.

Girls' Weekend
The charm of this cottage gave a historical feel of Galveston with a modern day touch. It was beautifully decorated and in a great location for shopping, restaurants, and beach attractions. Guests are required to download an app to lock/unlock the door through their personal mobile phone. There were also some special directions to follow along with using the app which we found challenging. This could be extremely difficult for non-technical or senior-aged renters.

Great Locatoin
The location of this house is excellent. It is far enough from the tourist centers to remain quiet while remaining accessible to all the amenities. There is a large grocery store within a 3-minute drive, plenty of restaurants around, and the beach is a 5-8 minute walk. This is a perfect size house for four adults who want to hang out together.
