Perfect
Bay Views Cottage was perfect. If cleanliness and child/dog friendly is important to you, then this is your place. Very kid/fur baby friendly - with gates to protect them from falling down the stairs or wondering off. The bikes and beach items were great to use and fun for the whole family. The location is great. There is a cute shopping, coffee shop area we really enjoyed. Beach house smelled amazing, and the beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed the games and the downstairs area. The Elrod family was quick to respond and very nice to work with. Thank you for a great weekend.

Would recommend
Clean and cute cottage with convenient location. Hosts were excellent communicators making sure we had everything needed. Loved the location with spectacular sunrises over the bay and within walking distance to Evia and a quick ride to the beach and Moody Gardens.

Return guests
The property and the hosts were so exceptional last time we stayed here that we chose to stay at this property again and we are just as happy with our 2nd stay. The property was very clean and well maintained. The hosts respond quickly, are helpful and are very kind. The location is great also. Lil' Buffalo Grill (located in Evia, just down the road) has really great breakfast. We ate there and then grabbed coffees and smoothies at Sugar Bean next door before we headed out for a day of fun. Everything was wonderful!

fantastic home
The home was beautifully decorated, clean, had everything you need including a highchair, has a nice neighborhood down the street with a coffee shop, grill, 5 minutes to Moody Gardens and close to the seawall. The home owners were informative and quick to answer all my questions. I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a quiet, comfortable stay
