Week by the beach

Small but impeccably clean. Kitchen was small but had everything needed to prepare a meal. No dishwasher, but for just 2 we didn’t create enough dishes to need one. In walking distance of several restaurants.

Repeat Visitors

This was our second visit to Galveston while staying at the Coastal Cottage and it was just as wonderful as our first visit. The cottage was clean and accessible to all activities we wanted to participate in. Crystal was just a text away if needed. Thanks again for hosting us, we’re looking forward to our next visit.

Lipstick on a Pig

Picture of place was very well done and reviews great! However, entrance gate was broken, room smelled musty (but clean)! The outside parking was very not adequate with tree branches hanging down that could scratch my vehicle. A gutter from neighbors was hanging and could fall on car. Nothing in the add said the room was a converter garage sharing a patio with another house! Cleaning fees were outrageous for the size of the place

Our New Favorite

We stayed at the Coastal Cottage for July 4th weekend and everything was perfect! The cottage was very clean and well stocked with numerous beach towels and cooking supplies. I loved being only a 2 minute walk to the seawall, that made beach access quick and convenient. My husband and I visit Galveston a few times each year and have decided the Coastal Cottage is our new favorite property. We will definitely rent again in the future.

Adorable little house with perfect location

The house was adorable with a cute courtyard. The thing I loved most was the location, just one block from the beach. My husband and I walked to nearby restaurants and bars and had an amazing experience in Galveston before our cruise.

Almost Perfect

I loved being a couple blocks from walking on the Seawall & beach! This place was so clean & decorated beautifully. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything I needed to cook including spices. It was great to be able to unload all my stuff for the week just a few feet from the door. My only tiny complaint is the bed being firmer than I like, but it didn’t prevent my having a wonderful time at this rental & would definitely stay here again. Everything was in good working order & it felt like someone is taking good care of this place for the guests. Highly recommend staying here.

Anniversary Beach Trip

We really enjoyed our stay. Short walk to the beach, charcoal grilled our steaks and baked potatoes. Loved reading the Narnia books we found stashed with the games.
