Our stay here was amazing. The place was clean, Julia was excellent with all communications, it was very close to a nice beach, and a short drive to NASA. Julia even went above and beyond and had a basket of snacks, decorated for my birthday, and got me a card! Amazing! This will be our first choice to stay whenever we visit the area.
Place was as pictured and described. Clean and quiet.

About the host
Hosted by Julia Gilligan
I am from just outside of Edinburgh, Scotland. I married a Houstonian and ended up in this part of the world after living all over Europe, India, The Philippines, and spending twenty years in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I love to travel.
Why they chose this property
El Jardin is very unique. There's a certain vibe in this community that is quite special. Maybe it's the slow pace of things, perhaps it's the nature all around. Whenever I spend time here to walk on the beach, watch the boats pass by, enjoy the sunsets, or check out the deer grazing at the end of the day, I feel relaxed and at peace.
What makes this property unique
Cozy cottage comforts and optimally located for travelers to this area. So much recreation to enjoy from Nasa Space Center to Kemah Boardwalk, Old Town Seabrook, Clear Lake (third largest boating community in the USA), nature trails and bayous to explore, plus Galveston is just 30-minutes away.
