About this property

Comfy, 2-Bedroom Cottage 10 blocks from Seashore in Midtown Galveston

In the center of midtown Galveston, you'll find this updated 1930s cottage nestled just a 3-minute drive from the iconic Galveston Seawall, and a 10-minute drive from the Port of Galveston Cruise Terminal. In fact, this cozy, centrally-located retreat puts you conveniently near all island attractions.

The primary suite has a king-sized bed, the second bedroom has a queen-sized bed, and there are two full bathrooms. As a guest, you'll enjoy all the comforts of home, including free WIFI, smart TVs, and a washer and dryer. Prepare delectable meals in the fully-equipped kitchen. Savor your culinary creations at the dining table for four (or the kitchen island that seats two), or step outside to relax on the shady back porch and enjoy the butterfly garden. The long, wide driveway provides plenty of off-street parking. With air conditioning, linens, and basic toiletries provided, you'll have everything you need for a truly memorable vacation.

Wonderful

The house was spotless and well stocked. Quiet neighborhood. There is a Family Dollar and a liquor mart within easy walking distance, which was handy. Diane was a wonderful host, very accessible for anything we may have needed, however we had no issues with the home.

36th Anniversary Trip

What a lovely home! It was so clean, inviting and so so comfortable!! We enjoyed this little cottage better than any we have ever stayed in! The owner was such a pleasure to deal with and she has thought of everything anyone might would need to make a guest feel welcome! I wish I could give this listing way more stars than 5! We definitely will try to get this cottage the next time we visit!!

An awesome weekend stay.

Ronda and I are in Galveston as often as work schedules allow. This weekend was 100% the most memorable thanks to Diane and her wonderful Little Cottage that is conveniently located to everything. This is by far the best experience we have had while visiting Galveston, we can't wait till our next chance to come and stay here.

Absolutely perfect!

We had an amazing experience and plan on returning. The cottage was beautiful and there were instructions all over to help answer the tedious FAQs. The host was also amazing and was flexible with us to make things work.

Perfectly located island home!

One of my favorite things about this spot was the ease of parking. The home has a private driveway and is off the main path of heavy traffic, but close enough to the limelight to walk! We loved the fact that it was well equipped with cooking items including not only the pots and pans, but a wide variety of spices as well. The beds were very comfortable and the place was spotless. Truly a comfortable home away from home.

Beautiful and homely property

We really enjoyed our stay! The house has a lovely open plan kitchen, living and dining area which was so well equipped with everything we could need. A particular highlight was the master suite which was stunning and so spacious with the most beautiful bathroom! Diane was extremely responsive and helpful before check in and after check out. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Fantastic Find!!

My parents, husband and I stayed at Diane’s cottage while in Galveston for the historic homes tour weekend. First of all, Diane is a wonderful host! She communicated with us thoroughly regarding the check in/ out process and responded quickly to any messages from us. As for the cottage, it is outstanding! It exceeded our expectations. The property is super clean and has all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. The decor and layout of the cottage is inviting and made it feel like home away from home. The location was centrally located and perfect for us. The surrounding neighborhood was quiet. Another great feature is the private driveway for multiple vehicles to park off the street. The backyard is a bonus too - VERY spacious and a great place to enjoy coffee/ wine/ conversation. We absolutely enjoyed our stay at the cottage and will definitely love to stay here again for our next Galveston adventure. Can’t say enough good things about the property or the host!!
