Cottage vacation rentals in Galveston County

Michael and Tara were wonderful hosts. They were very responsive each time I reached out. The cottage was exactly as depicted in the photos. Great location close to the beach and restaurants. We enjoyed our stay!

My family and I had a great stay. Every picture and everything listed were very accurate. Geat space and lots of sleeping accommodations.

We enjoyed our stay! The home was clean and cozy. Our favorite part was outside as the backyard was very private with a large privacy fence and a play set that our two children absolutely loved, making it easy to visit with family while they were entertained. Would stay again!

The property is beautiful… there is a view from every window and balcony. You can see the ocean and the bay… unique for Galveston Island. There is a pond directly outside and with the fountain, which kept mosquitos away. The kitchen is good for entertaining a family, and there is a formal and outdoor dining area. I would suggest bringing a bed pillow, high quality pan, and extra roll of paper towels. Alex was nice and responsive. The resort is family oriented and the quiet was well worth the 20 minute drive. We will stay with this host again!

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage! The house is perfect for a family beach trip and Antonio was an excellent host - great communication with all the details needed up front. The ADA beach access was very close and easier to navigate with a wagon than others we’ve used. The place has comfy furnishings and we felt right at home! Specifically, the sofa, beds and linens nice and blackout curtains. We found everything we needed at the cottage: Everything needed for the resort pools and beach (adult and kid beach towels, sand toys, beach chairs, wagon, outdoor shower, etc.). Kitchen: a variety of skillets, pots, and pans, baking sheets, cooking utensils, cups, nice dual coffee machine for k-cup or a whole drip pot. Bathrooms: tidy and stocked with towels, travel toiletries, makeup removal wash cloths Bonus: toys and books for kids, TVs (bunk room, living room, downstairs patio), first aid kit, washer/dryer and deck/rocking chairs to watch the herons and turtles in the lagoon!

This was our second stay at this location. It is perfectly located between the Strand and the beach. When you walk in the door you feel right at home, everything you need is there. The first time we stayed we said we'd be back, we did, next time we head back to Galveston we're going to make our reservations for this location. The host makes the stay so easy with local recommendations.

I stayed at this place in Galveston for about 2.5 months between January and March. The place was clean, safe, comfortable, and within walking distance of the ocean. We had some issues with both the washing machine and the fridge, but Seun was quick to respond and get them fixed. I had no serious issues with the property whatsoever, it was exactly as described. The neighborhood overall was quiet in the earlier winter months but got very loud and busy during Mardi Gras and spring break. Almost everything that I needed was within walking distance, I rarely had to use my car for anything. There are plenty of restaurants, bars, and grocery stores all within a 10-30 minute walk. The island is very small, and everything that I needed was practically right next to me. Overall if you are looking to stay in Galveston for any length of time, then this place is perfect. Just remember, the city can get very busy during certain events like the ones I mentioned, so definitely be prepared for that.

Sarah’s place was so clean and cozy! So many amenities to make us feel at home. I would highly recommend this place.

My family & I stayed here to celebrate our vow renewal. The Cardinal Cottage is absolutely so beautiful and peaceful and homey feel! Mallory and Melina are such amazing host and really went above and beyond to make us feel special! Our kiddos loved the upstairs loft area! The front porch is so beautiful as well! This place is 10 out of 10!!! I would book this home again in a heartbeat! Also so close by the shopping mall and so many restaurants!

I had a wonderful stay at the charming speakeasy! The home was not only beautiful and clean, but also filled with so much character and history—it truly felt like stepping back in time, in the best way. It actually looked even better in person than in the photos, which was such a pleasant surprise. The location couldn’t have been better—just a short walk to the Seawall and close to all the quaint shops, restaurants, and sights in old downtown. The host was welcoming and made sure everything was perfect for my stay. If you’re looking for a place with both comfort and soul, this is it. Highly recommend! Thanks Barbara!

The home is very comfortable. We didn’t get to spend much time in it because we were traveling for a baseball tournament, but I would definately stay there again. Linda made sure we had a working laundry set, which was essential to us. Very quiet, laid back. Nice to find basic needs like detergent, coffee, edulcorant, spices, oil, etc… My son’s team won the tournament! Thank you Linda!

We had a great time and could not have been be happier with Mary and Henry’s place.

The home was very nice and it was nice that it was right by the ocean

The stay was AMAZING, so peaceful and the place was just as described if not better! It is the perfect little get away and what people say about the fishing IS TRUE! Honestly one of the best experiences by far I hope to return again very soon! Highly recommend!

My family and I stayed at Helene & Charlie's place for a mini Summer getaway, and I can't express how perfect it was! The house is just as advertised. It was extremely clean and we absolutely loved the location! I really appreciated the detailed manual as well. They leave plenty of information about restaurants, attractions, and anything else you can think of. The yard and patio were very spacious and relaxing, and our kids were ecstatic about the amount of new games they got to try. SO many card, board, and yard games! The pass to Porretto Beach was just the icing on the cake. We had the best time! Helene & Charlie were extremely professional, accommodating, pleasant, and attentive to our needs the entire stay. (Even though we didn't need anything because their house is very well stocked). Their communication is excellent, their home is immaculate, and you can tell that they truly care about your experience! I would highly recommend their home to anyone looking to stay in Galveston!

It was nice. It was clean and cute and next to the boardwalk where everything is.

Our family had a great time at Salt & Light! We loved that it was on the beach side of the highway so no need to cross a busy road. The house looked just like the pictures and had everything we needed. We enjoyed playing ping pong in the downstairs area and grilling fajitas for dinner. Also really appreciated that they allowed pets.

The pineapple house was super cute, just the right size, comfy and had easy walking distance to the beach, fun activities and restaurants! We really appreciated the wagon and beach supplies, getting to play chess and the easy pace of it all! Thank you so much!

We loved the home. Very good location near the beach, in a quiet neighborhood, clean and well managed home. Great for a large family given the number of rooms and beds.

Jo was a great and responsive host! We I stayed for my birthday and it was a great setup and my favorite part of how close it was to the beach!

Thank you, we had a blast this weekend, and most of it was thanks to this house. It was in a great location, clean with lots of bedrooms and Terri was a fabulous host, very responsive and nice.
