Arrived at the property to see that it was a lot older than what it looks like in the photos. While the kitchen is a bit modern, the rest of the property feels very old from the walls, molding, doors, windows, rooms and overall feel. The location isn’t great either as the neighborhood felt unsettling, the walk to the beach consists of crossing a major street with no sidewalks so yes, technically walking to the beach. Overall disappointed with this stay.
We all enjoyed this place. It is close to everything you’d want to do. Downstairs was a fun spot to hang out.

I would honestly not recommend this property. First off the photos are very deceiving. When originally looking at the photos it seemed very nice, but once arriving I could tell that the photos were edited or that the property has not been taken care of. The property is old which I can understand and deal with, but the area around it is very run down, so I do not think that the price for the property reflects what it should be, when other rentals similar size and price to this are a lot nicer. It also was quite dirty. We have stayed in many other rentals, this was the dirtiest. We found mold under the kitchen sink, heavy dust build up on the windowsills, the bath mat for the shower was dirty as well. The blinds were broken and even with the curtains, you could still kinda see through into the house. All of the AC window units filters needed to be replaced, which the owner did say that they were replaced recently, just not reset. I did reach out to the owners about these issues and they did not seem the care, they said that the house is always cleaned very well, even after I provided photos. I would honestly say choose another house. We were very thrown off because the other reviews seems very positive, but it made it hard to feel like “home away from home” while staying here.
Wonderful stay. My only suggestion would be to upgrade the beds. Very uncomfortable .

We were so comfortable at this cute house full of interesting antiques and modern conveniences, and our little dog too! Great location, friendly neighbors, and a fully equipped kitchen. We got the rest we were seeking!

Our family really enjoyed this house and its amenities, especially the proximity to the strand. The parking passes for the beach and street made things very convenient. We loved the garage with its lights and games for the kids. All in all a very cozy and accommodating stay. Would stay again and recommend to families looking for a cozy place near the beach.

Our family of four stayed in this charming cottage for five days. The kitchen was well provisioned, AC cold, single bathroom roomy enough for everyone’s stuff, and the hangout space below was an especially huge hit with the kids. Access to Porretto Beach was great, but only open on the weekend during our stay. Overall a great little house for a beach escape.

This house was so cute! I loved the updated features inside and my son loved the “secret” game room downstairs. The only downside was the bed in the primary room and the sofa sleeper were both pretty uncomfortable and very loud if you move around in them. Overall, we were very happy with the property and how quickly the owners responded to our communication.

Location was good. Home’s style and vibe was pleasant. Loved the cozy beach feel. Loved the downstairs area.
Floors were a bit dirty. Had to vacuum up sand and dust balls. Pull out bed had a layer of sand. Couldn’t use.

Short walk to the beach, 1 mile from downtown (walkable), wonderful neighborhood to bike. Close to restaurants. House is beautifully decorated and clean, well-stocked and beds were comfortable. Communication was great. Nice TV. We found the sofa to be very uncomfortable, but maybe that's just us. I don't sit a lot on vacation, but it's nice to unwind at the end of the day. We appreciated the extra touches for our pups. Would definitely love to stay here again! Thank you.

Thank you so much for sharing your 5 star review. We look forward to having you again!
It was a decent little cottage. We were there to visit with friends and attend the sand castle competition. The only 2 discomforts I would mention are; the kitchen was incredibly warm since there wasn’t an AC unit and trying to cook just heated it up more. and the bed closest to front door was uncomfortable for my husband
and I. It felt broken down. Otherwise it was a cute, clean place.

We had a great time staying in the cottage. Everything was perfect. It was close to the beach and Downtown. Felt safe in the neighborhood. Walking distance to the beach but it was too hot for us to walk and my parents are elderly. So I would say car was better for us but parking was easy. The house was well stocked with board games for the kids and a game room downstairs was a nice touch. QEven my fur baby was comfortable. It was nicely decorated and clean. Would definitely recommend it.

Darling house!
I love this cozy little home. Fantastic location - you can walk down the street to the beach. Although a classic Galveston home, it was nicely updated and had all the amenities we needed. I'd love to come back and invite friends as the downstairs garage is set up like a fun ice house/ hangout space. It would be (literally!) a cool place to hang out during warmer weather as you can raise the door to get the sea breeze and hear the ocean but you're protected from the sun and somewhat insulated from the heat. Host was great and is really open to feedback on making a great place even better.
