Perfect Getaway
We had a fantastic time and the house had plenty of space for all 4 of us. The only thing I would recommend is maybe a shaker for mixing cocktails. We loved the location and the decor of the home. We will definitely stay here again.

This is place is a must-stay here place!!
Beautiful, refurbished home built in 1901!! Every detail of the updating on this home was carefully thought out! So perfect! I couldn’t have picked a better place to stay for five days with my 17 year old grandson. The beach is a mile a way, and there’s so many things to do while we stayed here. The fishing kept him busy every day at Seawolf Park! I can’t say enough about this place! I would definitely stay here again. Thank you so much to the owners for being such gracious hosts!

3-Sisters Getaway
April 1-4 2025 We are 3 sisters - we were searching for a perfect place in Galveston to relax and enjoy spending some time together. Your home exceded our expectations. Cozy, well-appointed, clean. It had everything we needed to feel at home. We looked at maybe returning for Dickens on the Strand and was not surprised that it was already booked. Thank you Nicole for doing an amazing job assuring the home is ready for guests and being available for any questions. Definitely a do-over!!!

Great Beach Themed Cottage
We just got back from our 4 day stay here. Owner Andrew was extremely nice and helpful for our stay. The property manager Nicole even gave us recommendations for Valentine's Dinner. This house looks even better in person. You can tell they put alot of effort to make their guests feel welcomed and safe. Loved the snacks they left. We don't drink wine but appreciated the gesture.Comfy living room, King bed was very nice and hot shower was a huge plus. This house is centrally located to all the attractions. We loved the Moody Gardens Aquarium/Rainforest,Train Musuem and walking The Strand.Thanks for making my 1st trip to Texas a great one. PS Loved the backstory of the cottage and the old picture.

Great place to stay for Dickens on the Strand
The house was perfect with easy parking in the driveway. It was *spotlessly* clean (I will never get my house this clean) with heat and blankets for our chillier stay in December. It's a beautiful little house with two convenient bathrooms for separate use between the two rooms. We made use of the hybrid pot/cup Keurig coffee machine and appreciated the breakfast nook. The design detail is thoughtful down to the scalloped waves on the toilet paper. Note: beds are quite firm.

Pleasant place to relax
It was a spacious space, nice back deck, excellent kitchen and two baths that suited our family's needs. The beds were comfortable and the living room made a nice lounging space. It was an easy drive to the train museum and moody gardens. Just be careful of the driveway, come in from an angle for a smoother transition.

Fishing trip
We really liked this cozy home. It was very cute and super clean when we arrived. The beds were pretty comfortable, and that’s always important! The owner of the home, Andrew, contacted me to make sure we were doing ok, and to see if we needed anything. We really appreciated him taking the time to do that. Unfortunately, we couldn’t get the gas grill to light, but other than that, we were very happy with our stay! My youngest son made the trip with us, and he really enjoyed the house as well. We would definitely stay here again in the future.

This was such a great experience, the house was in the perfect location, right between the Seawall & down town. Beautiful is an understatement, the house really felt so homey & we were able to have a MUCH needed relaxing weekend. I will stay here anytime I travel to Galveston!
