Amazing views and amazing hosts. We were in town for a convention in Houston and found this gem. Husband had a blast fishing while I had a blast sitting in the hot tub. The towels were soft and the bed was the most comfortable bed we’ve ever slept in. Sometimes it’s the little things that tell you how much the hosts care. Had more of a B&B vibe than a management company owns a Vrbo vibe. This is the gold standard for me. I need more stars to give.

Thank you for choosing Come Friday! We look forward to having you back and meeting Tammy. We want to come to Canada and see y'all. Keep in touch! - Your Texas Family
The house was just what we needed and the pier was perfect for fishing! When it got too hot, we loved taking a dip in the pool to cool off! We will definitely be staying in these homes again!

Thanks James. We enjoyed meeting y'all. Come back and see us!
The saltwater Gypsy was perfect for our getaway. Very quiet and fishing off the pier was awesome. We even used DoorDash to get food delivered. Definitely will be staying here again. The hosts were fantastic at recommending restaurants and gave us a heads up for which ones were social distancing and not.

Thank you Heather. We enjoyed having y'all. Come back and see us.
The cottage was exactly as described. It was cozy and clean. Neighborhood was quiet. It was pet friendly and even had a little fenced in area for the dog. I would stay there again. It is less than 2 miles from our sons home in League City

Think wonderful and then add some more. We honestly did not want to leave and have already planning on heading back to the cottages next time we visit our family in Houston. We hit NASA and some museums, but the best part of the entire week was just relaxing on the dock!

Charming cottage
The owners are the real gem behind the charming cottage. They were so sweet to us and made our visit extra kid-friendly with s'mores at the fire pit outside and by lending out fishing and crabbing equipment to keep them entertained. We spent a fun day at Kemah and the next at Nasa. It is a great, spot on the bay close to great attractions. The Topwater restaurant they recommended was fabulous. We had a really fun long weekend getaway.

Thanks Elizabeth, we are so glad y'all had a great time with us and got to explore the area. Come back and see us this summer.
Our little house was decorated so cute but that was only part of the deal. It was very clean and the host was so sweet! We are enjoyed the whole property. Very serene and relaxing. Plenty of places to sit and enjoy the ocean. We were close to many restaurants and entertainment. We will be back for sure! I highly recommend!!!

My family made a short weekend trip to visit the beach and Pleasure Pier in Galveston. We stayed in the Saltwater Gypsy Cottage and it was wonderful. It was a great size for our family of 8. Everything was well maintained. My kids loved the fishing pier and having poles available to borrow was very convenient. Pat and her family are very friendly and willing to offer whatever information and recommendations you might need. The drive to Galveston only took about 20 minutes and Kemah is nearby as well. Both H-E-B and Walmart are close by. We would absolutely stay here if we make a repeat trip to the area.

My husband and I were looking for a quiet weekend getaway and we found it! The grounds are beautiful, pool was the perfect temperature and the dock was really nice to fish from. Cottage met all our needs and the owners/management were friendly and accommodating. Thank you for such a great weekend!

About the host
Hosted by Renee Clem & Pat Rodgers, Owners/Operators
My Hubby and I love the water and love getting to raise our family in this beautiful community. We own and manage the property with my parents and are very active in our church and our children's schools. Our favorite thing is to meet wonderful, friendly, water loving people and share our little piece of paradise with them. We are gracious, thoughtful hosts and go out of our way to make you feel at home and help with anything you might need to have a wonderful vacation. Much of our business is from repeat guests and you can tell by our reviews that they become family and this becomes their home away from home.
Why they chose this property
Our property is unique in that every cottage is private and decorated differently than the others. This makes each experience you have with us unique as well. Our amenities are extensive and unlike most rentals we welcome children and pets. The pier is a wonderful place to not only fish but relax and sunbathe or just have a cocktail at the end of the day. The pool and spa are nestled in the back of the property for more privacy. There are also golf carts available for your use while staying. We offer everything you will need so you can travel light, and the rooms are stocked how we would like them if we were visiting. Grills, utensils and outdoor furniture is updated and abundant. Our priority is you and your family. You will have a wonderful time with us!
