Appreciated that they left cookies and water for us in the cottage. Had everything we needed. Stocked with must haves for basic living. Loved the comfortable bed and ceiling fan was appreciated! Not too far from the beach and short Uber to cruise terminal. Enjoyed our stay and will be back at the end of the cruise.

Really great getaway
The Cottage is a lovely little property adjacent to the Bryan museum. It's a great location within a short walk of the seawall to the south and Broadway to the north. The host is very responsive and accomodating and the property is great. Two comfy bedrooms upstairs, a very pleasant living room in front and a well equipped kitchen. There's a small but adequate enclosed back patio space for smokers or for pets to stretch their legs. Everything worked perfectly and was well marked. It's a quick drive to downtown venues and walkable to the beach. It felt not so much like a VRBO and more like staying at a friend's house for a few days. We would definitely go back. Two minor cautions. The street in front is pretty busy during the morning and evening so if you're real sensitive to traffic sounds, this might be a concern. Very quiet at night though. Also, the stairs to upstairs are a little on the steep side. They are very sturdy and there is a strong railing, so not a problem for us or most folks, but it might be a concern if you have someone with mobility issues.

Great spot and a great price
We enjoyed our stay at The Cottage; all of the information was sent to me a couple of days before so it was very easy to get into the house. It was very clean, there were cookies waiting for us 🍪 and cold bottled water in the fridge. Everything you might need was available, even chairs, towels and water toys, games, and toys. It’s a great place to stay in the great city of Galveston!

Surprising lil gem!
The owner did a wonderful job with this place! I didn’t realize it was 2 story, but I probably missed it in the listing. Everything is marked and labeled nicely throughout the entire unit! The beds were comfy! The shower had some of the better water pressure I’ve experienced thru different rentals. But the best part: a garage that we were able to park inside?! That was a 1st for us in close to 10 rentals. I will say that 4 people is probably the max you’d want to stay due to its cozy size. But this unit would be a great central base to explore the whole island from. We only stayed for a night since we were cruising out the next day, but we will keep this place in mind should we invest more time in Galveston.

Perfect fit
We needed an overnight before hopping on a cruise. This place was exactly what we needed. House was great, host was awesome. Communication lacked nothing. They even had cookies waiting on the table. That was a very sweet thing to do! I bet it's great for beach trips as well, even though we didn't have time for that. We saw there was an ornament globe with instruction for filling it with shells you may find on the beach. Really a great idea and very thoughtful of the host to do. House was super clean, everything was great!

This is a cute little duplex. Diane pays close attention to detail down to the labels indicating which light switch turns on which lights. Its centrally located and easy to find and get around the island.
