Memorial Day getaway

Our family really enjoyed this house and its amenities, especially the proximity to the strand. The parking passes for the beach and street made things very convenient. We loved the garage with its lights and games for the kids. All in all a very cozy and accommodating stay. Would stay again and recommend to families looking for a cozy place near the beach.

Exactly as described

This house was so cute! I loved the updated features inside and my son loved the “secret” game room downstairs. The only downside was the bed in the primary room and the sofa sleeper were both pretty uncomfortable and very loud if you move around in them. Overall, we were very happy with the property and how quickly the owners responded to our communication.

An oasis near the beach

We were so comfortable at this cute house full of interesting antiques and modern conveniences, and our little dog too! Great location, friendly neighbors, and a fully equipped kitchen. We got the rest we were seeking!

Weekend in Galveston

It was a decent little cottage. We were there to visit with friends and attend the sand castle competition. The only 2 discomforts I would mention are; the kitchen was incredibly warm since there wasn’t an AC unit and trying to cook just heated it up more. and the bed closest to front door was uncomfortable for my husband and I. It felt broken down. Otherwise it was a cute, clean place.

Cozy and comfortable

We had a great time staying in the cottage. Everything was perfect. It was close to the beach and Downtown. Felt safe in the neighborhood. Walking distance to the beach but it was too hot for us to walk and my parents are elderly. So I would say car was better for us but parking was easy. The house was well stocked with board games for the kids and a game room downstairs was a nice touch. QEven my fur baby was comfortable. It was nicely decorated and clean. Would definitely recommend it.

Sealy stay

Location was good. Home’s style and vibe was pleasant. Loved the cozy beach feel. Loved the downstairs area. Floors were a bit dirty. Had to vacuum up sand and dust balls. Pull out bed had a layer of sand. Couldn’t use.

Nice Spot for a Quick Getaway

Our family of four stayed in this charming cottage for five days. The kitchen was well provisioned, AC cold, single bathroom roomy enough for everyone’s stuff, and the hangout space below was an especially huge hit with the kids. Access to Porretto Beach was great, but only open on the weekend during our stay. Overall a great little house for a beach escape.

The Perfect Place

The Sealy Cottage sealed the deal on a perfect beach getaway ! I had not been to Galveston in over 30 years and was not quite sure what to expect. The location was great for us. The neighborhood is very safe and cute, parking is easy with the residential guest pass, access to the beach is totally walkable, and the beaches weren’t crowded during our visit. We walked to the beach every morning and evening and took looonnng walks all the way down to the end of East Beach. The dog was in heaven. I had to do some work while there and the Internet was fast, and the dining room table was the perfect desk. We cooked most meals at the cottage and the kitchen was well appointed. The beds were comfortable, and the furnishings were very nice. Overall, it just couldn’t have been any better. Highly recommend.

Perfect location, beautiful house

Short walk to the beach, 1 mile from downtown (walkable), wonderful neighborhood to bike. Close to restaurants. House is beautifully decorated and clean, well-stocked and beds were comfortable. Communication was great. Nice TV. We found the sofa to be very uncomfortable, but maybe that's just us. I don't sit a lot on vacation, but it's nice to unwind at the end of the day. We appreciated the extra touches for our pups. Would definitely love to stay here again! Thank you.

Perfect Beach Cottage

My family and I had a great experience. Our party included my husband, 10 and 6 year olds, and our infant. The house was very clean, in a safe/convenient location. Staff was beyond helpful and responsive. I left my wallet behind— the staff found it and overnighted it to me. Great experience. We will definitely return!!

Family vacation

Our first family vacation since 2019 and first time in the area.  Location was perfect and within walking distance to the beach.  The property was well maintained with updated fixtures and amenities.  The house was warm and cozy, with a nautical theme throughout.  The open layout was a plus.  Two recommendations would be to provide two sets of towels for lengthy stay guests and updating of the pullout sofa (thin mattress with sheets that fit the sofa bed). The exterior was appealing, with fresh paint and a well-maintained lawn. Overall, it was a pleasurable stay.  Would visit again.

Wonderful house in a great location, though it was a bit dirty

We loved our stay in this beach house and found it to be very comfy and close to everything! The only negative was that we did find it to be a bit dirty (lots of long dark hair stuck to the shower walls, long dark hairs on one of the pillows in the bed, floors were so dirty we kept a rag by the bed to wipe our feet before getting in). We still give it 5 stars but hope they step up their cleaning in the future!
