Charming and a Wonderful Stay!

The property was a lovely little Shotgun Style house just as advertised. Had lots of charm with decor and furnishings befitting this style and its beach area locale. Owner provided everything we needed for comfortable stay. All nicely organized. Bravo! We were sorry to have to move on. Loved the vibe. Wish we knew more about its renovation and the history of the property.

Perfect small cottage….great location.

This house was perfect for our needs. Beds were comfortable, plenty of linens and towels, lots of extras in the kitchen. We loved that it was so close to everything we were doing. It was very clean and tidy inside, can’t think of one negative comment!

Quaint getaway

Cute little 1BR house blocks from the beach. Pretty convenient to everything, even if you’re walking. Lots to see. Easy check-in, very cozy. Would highly recommend. Host was very quick to respond when we asked questions. Very informative directions in a nice booklet. Everything was provided that you would need. Excellent experience.

Son's 21st Deep Sea Birthday

This trip was my son's 21st birthday celebration. My fiancé & I took him deep sea fishing for red snapper. This house made the stay perfect! It was clean, smelled amazing, and had everything we could possibly need, including Monopoly which is my son's favorite game. All the details we could possibly need were provided in a folder on the table. I am so impressed with this location and the house, I will definitely return. Btw, the neighbor was even super kind, saying great things about the owner. She even found my silver bracelet that fell off outside. It was a great time for all of us.

Super Cute and Thoughtful Owners

This place was so super cute and cozy! We stayed there with our 3 & 4 year old granddaughters. There were toys for kids their age already in the house along with everything you would need for the beach…even a cooler to use! Also washer and dryer - detergent included! Nice and quiet. Plenty of water pressure and hot water for showers. And an outside shower! We will be back, for sure!

Cute little beach cottage

We loved everything except for the bedroom mattress and the missing door on the laundry room/bathroom area. The lack of privacy in the bathroom was difficult, especially for our adolescent son. I would still recommend this cute little beach cottage! The location, the cute fenced in yard (with outdoor lounging and grilling amenities), and kind nextdoor neighbors made our stay extra nice!

Perfect in every way!

This house is so ADORABLE. The owners were great communicators and didn't leave me with any questions on how to check in/out. They did an impeccable job updating it and making great use of the space. It had everything we needed and more. Their "How to House Book" was well done, detailed and easy to find answers. Four (4) of us stayed comfortably for one (1) night before embarking on a cruise but will definitely look at rebooking if we are in the Galveston area for a lengthier stay. It is well equipped, clean, and central to nearly everything. We were right around the corner from the Cruise Port, a few blocks from the ocean and all the other attractions, and a short few minute drive to the area stores. The neighborhood is very quaint and peaceful and the neighbors were super nice too. So glad we found it!

We absolutely loved our stay at Lindsey’s place! The home was so quaint and full of thoughtful touches that made it feel extra special and welcoming. From the cozy décor to the helpful home booklet, Lindsey thought of everything — including step-by-step photos for things like the fold-out couch and grill, plus great recommendations for local restaurants and activities.The location was perfect — tucked into a sweet, quiet neighborhood just a short walk to the beach. We loved being able to rollerblade along the seawall, enjoy the outdoor seating in the little side yard, and stroll down to the Pleasure Pier for a night of roller coasters and ocean views. Our new pup Nina loved the beach!Lindsey was incredibly kind and responsive throughout our stay, making sure we had everything we needed. It truly felt like a home away from home, and we can’t wait to come back!

The cottage was amazing and deco was beautiful. The owner definitely took the time to think about what is needed for a comfortable stay. The yard is perfect to sit back and relax after a day at the beach. Close to the Seawall, and loved the recommendations for places to visit and eat in the welcome under. You will not regret booking this cute cottage, will definitely book again. Thanks Lindsey for making our trip to Galveston even more enjoyable!
