This house was very charming and welcoming. The beds were comfy, the eat in kitchen spacious. The area is close to shopping and restaurants. We would stay here again!
Such a cute and cozy house! The AC was amazing in the Texas summer heat, and the beds were so cozy! The house had everything we needed, and it is in such a convenient location!
This cottages is simply gorgeous. Super clean, great AC, comfy beds and responsive hosts, not to mention close to the beach. If you want a relaxing spot in Galveston, this is the place!
We enjoyed our stay. The house was cozy and lovely. We enjoyed our coffee on the porch in the morning or sometimes even a short walk around the neighborhood. It had all the amenities we needed. We would stay here again, as well as recommended for small groups.
The state was nice. The property manager was helpful. Cute little Home to stay in for a vacation. The only reason why it has three stars is because the washing machine did not work. Other than that, the stay was very enjoyable. We will be staying again in the future. Thanks, God bless.
This is our second summer here and it was just as perfect this time as our last! It's so hard to write anything when everything is amazing! Which is a great thing! The cottage feels like your home... it is super clean, has plenty of paper towels/ toilet paper, cooking pots/ pans for cooking, towels etc...The beds are comfy, with soft sheets and nice comforter. **AND they actually let you USE the air conditioner and set the temperature!!!! If you stay in enough VRBOS you KNOW what I mean!!! Huge, huge plus being in the heat and humidity of August in Galveston! :)You will not go wrong staying here. We will be back!Thank you Cy for sharing your gorgeous home!P.S. Street is quite and always felt safe!!!
Our family really enjoyed our stay at the cute little cottage on Q. The beds were super comfy, and the location was perfect. I would highly recommend this property!
We enjoyed our stay at the cottage! Everything was very clean and the communication was amazing! Loved how conveniently it was located on the island as well. Def be back!
The Avenue Q cottage was great! Cute historical home in close location to everything. Neighborhood was safe, quiet and easy to get in and out of. Well equipped for our needs.
My teenage son and I stayed here Mardi Gras weekend and loved the house.
Great location, clean and well decorated.
Terrific communication with Cy.
Thumbs up!
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!
We really enjoyed our stay.The house really has so much character.I must have missed the sofa couch in the description of the property online , so we were pleasantly surprised to see on the house notes there was one available.We like to cook at least breakfast on our stays.The pots and pans were pretty basic, if you plan on cooking maybe bring something of your own to cook with. Overall the cleaning was pretty good. The ceiling fan and hvac vent was caked in dust.The only safety concerns I would bring up was we didn’t have a key to the rear door which had a deadbolt and most of the windows were sealed shut do to age and being painted shut.Thank goodness nothing happened where we needed to escape quickly.
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.
