We had an amazing stay at this beach house! The home was clean, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The bedroom was cozy and comfortable, the kitchen was fully stocked, and the outdoor space was perfect for morning coffee. Communication with the host was easy and friendly throughout our stay. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this rental to anyone looking for a relaxing beach vacation.

I absolutely loved the little beach house. Rhonda was very tentative. The home was very cozy. Enjoyed reading a little about the history in the house.The fresh paint looked fabulous and I loved loved the plants in the backyard. I can’t wait to return to see the lemon tree.

We had a wonderful stay at this beach cottage. It was very clean and quaint, and the quiet neighborhood made it especially relaxing. We really enjoyed sitting on the porch in the evenings. The cottage is also an easy walk to the beach and several restaurants. The host was great, and we would definitely come back again.

The host was very easy to engage with. The home is very cute. The location was nice and easy to access the beach. Unfortunately it was very quite dirty. I believe there was black mold in the home and I became ill with a sinus infection shortly after our stay. Again, it’s a cute home, but needs some rehab and deep cleaning.

Response from VrboOwner on 17 Mar 2026
So sorry you became ill after your visit, Tiffini. I have never had these complaints. We have no mold. I clean it myself. Many people have allergy problems this time of year. We are having the exterior painted in a couple of weeks, Rhonda

About the host

Hosted by Rhonda Brown

Host profile image
My Husband and I came down to Houston in 2005. We are originally from Kentucky. We fell in love with Galveston many years ago, while visiting. Of course, as soon as we moved to Houston, we made a "bee-line" to Galveston! We first became week-enders; and now live in Galveston!

Why they chose this property

We became week-enders down from Houston in 2006. We fell in love with this little house for it's 1900 charm. We went into the back yard and saw the beautiful sitting area under the giant oak trees and were SOLD….we have had many wonderful times here, with family and friends! Our Little House is in the quiet San Jacinto neighborhood on the desirable East End of Galveston. We are 3 blocks from the beach, and close to private Paretto Beach.

What makes this property unique

Large, private outdoor sitting area with OFF-STREET parking. Washer/dryer. Walking distance to restaurants and bars and beach! WE WELCOME SNOW BIRDS. Contact me for off-season rates: December, January, February (Mardi Gras) and March. i have added special rates for September and October for monthly rentals. Please choose at least 31 days to avoid hotel taxes.
