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.
THINGS TO KNOW Streaming services are available using your own account. A queen sofa bed provides extra sleeping space.

House had everything you could need (except pizza tray). Liveley and clean and very comfortable. Perfect for a couple and a very quick hop, skip, and a jump to the beach.

Perfect for two
My husband and I had the perfect stay. A small vacation with no agenda! The neighborhood is quiet and so close to the beach.
Overall cleanliness of the inside of place was great. There needed to be more detail to outside cleanliness.

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.
This was a wonderful, peaceful get away for me and my husband. Home was very clean, bed was comfy but could have had a couple more pillows. Great outdoor space and you can view the Golf from the deck. We would definitely stay here again!

Great getaway
Clean, quiet and a great place to escape from the city! It was windy & cold while we were there! Very cozy & warm for a couple! Will return on our next visit!
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!
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.
We arrived to the home and had a few questions and reached out, our questions were promptly answered and addressed.The house was just as pictured. The kitchen contained the necessities to cook and enjoy our meals. The living space was comfortable and we spent our downtime enjoying the tv. The neighborhood is nice and quiet. We walked to the beach and it is close by. Overall, enjoyed our stay and would recommend it. We’d stay here again.
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.
