Great location close to restaurants and shops. Quite street. Home worked excellent for our short stay. Awesome upgraded cottage and would stay again. The only small issue was that the beds were really small.

This is the cutest house for a Galveston stay. I liked that it had off street parking and was close to the pleasure pier and Seawall. Also wasn’t a bad 10ish minute drive to moody gardens.

We cannot say enough good things about our stay here!! From the location, cleanliness, friendliness of the landlord......you name it, it was SPOT ON!! We felt so at home and it was so peaceful. We were definitely not ready to leave. We told them everytime we come back, we are only booking with them. This sweet little cottage made our honeymoon so much better!! Beautiful memories!!!!

Me, two Elementary aged sons and hubby stayed here and had a grand time. We wanted an elegant atmosphere to celebrate our Vow Renewal and Ramadan holiday. It was a perfect setting for some nice photos. It was also very close to pleasure pier which is where we wanted to spend some time. The living room was such an inspiring place to relax and the kids having their own TV in their room was also convenient for us. Loved the cottage & will definitely be using some of their decor ideas in our home.

Came to the cottage for a girls weekend. Everything was good. Only two things to mention, as I'm not sure they're described on the listing. There is no ice machine or ice trays to make ice. We had to step out to get some, which was no huge deal, just something to note. Also, there is a TV in one of the bedrooms, not both. Again, not a huge deal for us, but may be important to some. Overall, this was a great place to stay at a reasonable price. The location is fabulous!

The house itself was cute, however, our daughter and her family stayed at another property that was 5 minutes away which was 3x the size, 3 bathrooms instead of 1, had actual soap provided (ours did not) and kitchen supplies including k cups (ours did not) and several beds to accommodate the whole family for about $30 more a night. Guest contact was also not very responsive.

This property was perfect for us. Our granddaughter had surgery at UTMB which was right down the street. We were so comfortable and we had everything we needed. The property is beautifully decorated as well. Highly recommend this wonderful property and we will definitely return when we are in the area again!

We sere very pleased with our weekend stay. Appreciated the coffee pods. While we did not require it for our short stay, it appeared the dishwasher was not working. Or at least I could not get it to start.

Very nice place to stay. Decorated nicely and lots of windows. The place was clean, except when I lifted the bed sheet off of one of the beds there was a dead bug, so that was very upsetting to see. The neighborhood was quiet. It was about a three minute drive to the beach. So if your looking for a place right in front of the sea wall this is not it. Overall we were happy with our stay at sonnidays.
