We had a wonderful stay at this beach cottage. It was very clean and quaint, and the quiet neighborhood made it especially relaxing. We really enjoyed sitting on the porch in the evenings. The cottage is also an easy walk to the beach and several restaurants. The host was great, and we would definitely come back again.

We enjoyed our stay so much! It was the perfect getaway for us. The cottage was so cozy and welcoming. You could feel the history in the home in a way that that just isn't possible in a cookie cutter condo or hotel.

The host was very easy to engage with. The home is very cute. The location was nice and easy to access the beach. Unfortunately it was very quite dirty. I believe there was black mold in the home and I became ill with a sinus infection shortly after our stay. Again, it’s a cute home, but needs some rehab and deep cleaning.

This is a great place if you like to get out of the action at the end of the day- or anytime. It is quiet and private. The front porch and back patio are great places for morning coffee and evening relaxing.

This house was perfect for a romantic getaway with my husband! Poretto beach was literally a 2 minute drive and was very nice and not over crowded. The strand is a 5 minute drive. Check in was easy. House is super cute and set up nicely. Would definitely reccomned this rental.

We had a wonderful time staying at the cute little house Rhonda provided! The house was just as pictured and located in a perfect spot right near the main seawall. The free beach access with chairs/umbrella was also such a huge bonus for us. We’d love to come back again!

Little House Memorial Day 2025

The house is cute, very clean and well maintained. It had everything we needed. The bed was actually comfortable, which hasn't always been true for VRBOs. We had zero issues.We really appreciated the vibe of the house, and felt immediately at home. When we weren't running around town, we enjoyed sitting on the front porch with cocktails and people watching. The owner was an A communicator. We will definitely stay here again when we return to Galveston.

just a little getaway

the cottage was cheerfully decorated and cozy. The bed and couch were comfortable and there was very nice seating for six on an outside patio. It has a great location very near the beach and also convenient for the downtown district. The neighborhood was nice and we always felt safe. There are plenty of nice eateries close by. We will stay there again if it's just the two of us. One or two more people could be manageable but it's best for just two. Host was very responsive and welcoming.
