About this property

Steps to the Beach-Endless Views, pet friendly

Make your escape to this cozy beachfront cottage, only steps away from the beach. This lovely home is the perfect place to enjoy a true getaway. The house is nestled at the end of the street where you feel that you have your private beach area.. Enjoy spectacular never-ending ocean views, while listening to the waves from the partially covered deck, sipping your morning coffee, or evening cocktails. You can walk your picnic lunch to the family from the house, making lasting memories on the beach. The home welcomes you with new beautiful furnishings and beachy décor. It offers a king-size bed in the master bedroom, with a private full bath. The second bedroom has two sets of twin bunk beds to make room for children or guests. The bottom bunk is a futon full-size bed. The bonus room has a convertible sleeper sofa that makes a full-size bed. The entire space allows for up to nine guests. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you will need to entertain you and your guests. Clean linens are provided and the home is pet-friendly. The house includes dish/wifi and blu ray DVD. This is your gem of a vacation spot just waiting for you to enjoy. It is the perfect place for a family vacation or an adult weekend getaway. Terramar is a quiet community, only a short drive, (approximately 20 minutes) from the Seawall action. Galveston has so much to offer in regard to day trips as well. The Pleasure Pier, Moody Gardens, Schlitterbahn Waterpark, mansion tours, Duck Tours, and The Strand are great ways to enjoy your time as well.
You can't get any closer to the beach than this. If you are ready for your escape to the sea, this is the place for you.

Perfect Beachfront Getaway

Lovely cozy beach house located right at the beach. We stayed 3 nights and enjoyed the proximity to the beach. This is the quieter part of Galveston which is what we wanted (and needed). Big bonus that it was very pet friendly equipped. Would love to visit again!

Can't get much closer to the water.

Check in was easy. The house is very nice. The deck is excellent and you'll front on the beach. Very few houses are closer to the beach/water. Great stay. Would stay again without hesitation. Not far from Galveston. We had a great time!!

Amazing location, but inside not clean and unsafe

So first off, this was an absolutely amazing location, right on the beach, like it said. However… The cleanliness or lack there of I should say, was a factor. The dishes in the cabinet were dirty, part of the flooring was coming up and actually stepped on a nail…. And to be honest, I believe that there is black mold in the master bedroom that’s covered up by paint…every morning woke up with a stuffy nose. So, even though the location was great… To be honest, we would not come again due to these factors. If the inside was cleaned up, I would give this place 10 stars.

Perfect location!

We really enjoyed our stay! This house is the perfect location right on a private beach!! Even on a holiday weekend our beach front was never crowded!!! The property is just right for a family and kitchen is well stocked! The owners were so helpful and flexible when I requested a date change for personal reasons! Nice relaxing vacation spot!!

Family vacation

Perfect location to walk right on to the beach with a great view! We loved the location and it was just what we wanted. My family had a wonderful time and the house was just the right size for us. Everything was the same as what you see in the pictures from the listing. Beds were comfortable, tvs were provided which was nice for some down time after time on the beach. There was an ant problem that we noticed which caused us to not want to sit in certain areas or put our things on the floor. We had to constantly vacuum or sweep them up but they kept coming in through openings in floor. Overall we had a great time!

Perfect beach retreat

Our family of four loved our stay in the cottage. Being just a few steps away from the beach was a real game changer, allowing for all kinds of impromptu oceanside mini excursions whenever the mood struck. The property itself was immaculately clean upon arrival, had every amenitity you'd want, and generally provided a perfect home base for our family to recharge. Will absolutely book again for our next Galveston trip.

5th year and better than ever

We've returned to the Cozy Beach Front Cottage for the 5th time now. The house was spotless and fully stocked. Wholly cow they have a hand mixer so we baked a cake for my mom's bday. The furniture is updated and very nice. I can say I slept well on the new sofa. This house as it all: closest to the beach, towel, sheets, pots, pans, coffee maker, etc. They even had some beach toys and boogie boards. We always enjoy this house and are so glad it's available for rent and that my furry four-legged baby is welcome. See you next year!!!

Best place to stay period

Had the best time. The best location you can possibly get. Very accomidating. Easy to work with owner. I've been taking my family there for six years now and will be back a seventh. I love the new furniture and no carpet. If your a big man like me avoid the footboard in the master. Maybe wear shin guards. I got beat up pretty good. Bring batteries for the remotes they were all dead. Want think Kathy for having my family again. Perfect stay perfect house
