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!

We stayed at Tammy's place with our 2 grandsons. It is a lovely place. The house was spotless and in a great location. Our grandsons spent so much time on the beach which is just steps away from the house. My husband and I could sit on the covered porch and watch them dig for hours. Of course, we were right there with them when they wanted to go boogie boarding (3 boards available at the house). The house was well stocked with dishes, glasses and pots. Tammy gave us recommendations on where to grocery shop and even a nice restaurant down the road. If I had a question, she was very responsive and answered quickly. The hot tub was an added bonus which we all enjoyed at night. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. We certainly hope to be able to visit again. Thank you!

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

Great, cute little house! Perfect for our honeymoon trip and close to everything we wanted to see and do. David was for responsive and great suggestions for places to eat

Our experience was the best, the house was super clean with all the amenities, the kitchen has all the necessary utensils, a super nice and very safe place. I recommend 200%, Thank you!

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!

Love the house and the area. Will definitely be here again next year.

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 a wonderful location. Easily walkable to the beach and easy to find. Had kids with us and didn’t need to bring anything as blankets, toys and beach necessities were supplied in the house. Devon was very responsive when I had questions and checking in with us. Thank you so much for having us.

Just what I needed for a last-minute get away.. a small house with the necessities. I was happy about the size because of my back injury; I can barely move or stand, so short distances were helpful. It was close by to all things that I needed to access! I did bring my two pups, and it was great for them. I had to observe them in the backyard because the fencing wasn’t super secure, but this was okay, as my dogs do not try to escape. This is a pet friendly stay, and there may be traces of dog hair, as there were some when I arrived. This did not deter me AT ALL, and the house was not unkempt by any means! Just something to keep in mind for anyone not use to pups. The bedroom sleeps a bit warm; the window unit may need a cleaning/maintenance. Minor detail. It was an accommodating visit. Candice is helpful. Pay attention to her instructions on the location. I was initially confused on where to go. Perfect for a quick couple of sleeps and providing a desk for remote work. Thanks Candice!<3

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!

We could not have asked for a better place to stay. Speakeasy is beautiful and on a quiet street close to all the best of Galveston.

We loved our stay here. The house had everything we needed and the roses in the yard were beautiful. It was close enough to walk to the beach and we did!

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

We checked the place out before we started venturing out þ find the beach! The walk was pleasant and not far to the beach! When we returned to the AirB&B, we soaked up a luxurious bath in the claw footed bath tub!

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!

This beach house was everything my Family (4 kids) my wife and I could have asked for! Clean, comfortable, functional, and less than a half a mile to the beach! The opportunity for extra beds and bedding was a life saver. And the host even helped us out in person. Highly recommend!

This place is even more beautiful in person than the photos show in the listing! House was very clean, check in was easy, Katie was very responsive before and during our stay. We were in town for a wedding, and wanted a nice place to relax. The location is great, only 5-10 mins to great restaurants and the boardwalk with so much to do with your family young and old. We even had a night out downtown in Houston, which was further but not a bad drive.

Thank you so much for being great hosts, I loved this location and the kitchen/dining room! The history, the hardwood floors, what a charming place to get to visit!!

Second stay here and we love it! We will be back without a doubt. The house is cozy, clean and comfortable. The location is so close to all the action. And the little yard is always perfect for us to hang out and unwind at night. Lauren is so sweet and accommodating. Thanks again for another perfect stay!

This was a great place to spend time and relax at the beach. Awesome for families with accommodations for all ages with lots of space!!! Beach was 5 min walk…you can see the ocean from the balcony. Neysa & Billy have left good tips on restaurants to eat and places for essentials you might need. They were always responsive to our questions….a BIG shout out to them for helping with our mistake of booking wrong dates…Neysa & Billy quickly responded and contacted Airbnb to refund our money with no extra fees and rebook for right dates…above and beyond!!!! Book this place for a fun vacation at Crystal Beach!!!

I enjoyed my stay . Joseph was proactive of responding to my needs.

Plenty of space and close to the strand. We enjoyed our stay!
