Great location for beach & walking boardwalk Spent week dropping son off at school & getting to know area House was clean and had most amenities / bed upstairs could use upgrade very soft sinks in middle and very noisy legs Eating area is small and hard if you had more than 2 people but it worked / love seat for tv watching Nice back area was just to hot to eat out Only issue was both grill cylinder empty when we went to use grill we replaced and was reimbursed but just annoying
We loved our stay at the colorful house on the corner. Short walking distance to the beach and dining. The back yard was the ideal for hanging out. Would recommend!

From the owner:"Thank you for this 5-star review! So happy you enjoyed. See you soon!"
This property is in the perfect location and is wonderful if you having mobility issues. There is a full bathroom and bedroom on ground floor with only one step to get up onto the porch. Highly recommend and will try to stay at this location again in the future.
This was the perfect vacation stay for 4 people. Perfect location two blocks from the beach and very clean. Loved the backyard and fenced in, made you feel safe. Definitely will come back.

College drop off
Rented this house for the week while we were visiting and dropping off our son at college.It was very convenient to many restaurants and the beach. The house is great for two adults and maybe two children. The living room eating quarters are very tight. Would be hard to relax. Watch TV with more than three or four people. Had all the amenities needed for cooking in and a nice outdoor back area with a grill.Unfortunately, it was just too hot to be outsideWould definitely rent this place again
Sister and I took our kids to Galveston because one of the kids wanted to go to the beach for her bday. The house was perfect, the location was perfect.
We enjoyed staying at this house it was in a great location within walking distance to several eating places. We loved that it was so close to the beach. It is fully fenced in property which was really nice. We will definitely stay again :)

Galveston beach house review
We enjoyed our stay in Galveston. The house location was perfect for spending time at the beach and easy walking access to good restaurants. The house is furnished very nicely and the layout is very user friendly. The property is very well protected with fence and gates and carport.

We really enjoyed our stay! Extremely pet friendly even had little treats for our fur babies. Loved the back yard and very conveniently located. The kids enjoyed the place and we loved that we had to full bathrooms. We were able to park our vehicle under the covered area and close the gate behind it which made us feel extra secure and safe. Would definitely stay here again!
Was a perfect spot for the whole family. We walked to 4 different restaurants and a convenient store when we ran out of milk. There was a wagon to get all the stuff down the street to the beach and a pack & play with clean sheets when we arrived. It was comfortable, clean, & quiet. Would definitely stay again.

Family Stay
We enjoyed our stay at this comfortable home. The owner is responsive and available to answer questions. It was easy to access through the key lock box. They provide nice touches to the property to make sure you have what you need for your stay. It is two blocks from the beach, so very accessible. We walked to the beach and used the wagon to haul our gear.

Awesome
Place was in excellent shape. Very clean, nicely decorated, well stocked. Yard is fenced in for letting pet out. We had 2 adults and 1 child and had room enough for more. Not on beach but a short walk. Very, very nice.

From the owners: "We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at the Coral Cottage! Come again soon!"
Loved the property, The house was in good shape and had several amenities that most places do not offer. Just like the description, was a short walk to the beach in a good neighborhood. Was also a gated property which helped everyone feel more secure. However, the gates were not automatic and became an incovniencne. Other than this was in our top three best stays next to two several million dollar homes we got to stay in. The price to stay at this house is certainly a pay less for more type of deal.

From the owner: "Thank you, Courtney! We are so happy you enjoyed your stay at the Coral Cottage."
Even better than the listing implies. Great location. Beautiful little house. Small but plenty of space. You will not go wrong. All you need are your clothes and shoes. Can see the water from the upstairs. Had a problem with the front door lock but got it straightened out within minutes.
