The host was welcoming, and the place was clean and cozy. The only problem was we had no internet or TV access the last 5 days of our visit. I messaged the contact at Costal Cottage everyday we were out of access and received very little help and no attempt to resolve the problem. Also, no one was ever sent out to fix the problem.

I would not recommend this place for following reasons: 1. Broken towel hangers - we had a hard time hanging our towels inside the bathroom. 2. No body wash and less toiletries 3. You are not able to set the AC temp below 70 degrees (in Texas?) 4. Roaches inside the shower area. 5. Being a beach house, they do not give you towels more than one. 6. You need to collect trash and dump it outside. I would recommend the place for: 1. Location - right on SeaWall Blvd but not walkable to places, it took 30mins to walk to pleasure pier 2. Safe - parking right outside the unit 3. Nice and large TV 4. Compact and perfect spacious house. 5. Great AC

Not at all how it is described. Pictures do not do it justice at all. No actual fridge just a mini fridge. No stove or oven. One bed and it’s a queen. The couch pulls out into a bed but it is painful to sleep on. We weren’t even the only guests disappointed. We have 4 other family’s who asked us if this is what it was described as. The air was the worst part. We reached out to maintenance and manager and you hey came and said it had to cool off. Too hot. The tv was terrible and had spots all over the screen. The manager didn’t care. And the ac had mold in it.

A short walk away from the beach - nice and clean!

This little place is perfect for a couple or small family. The bathroom has a nice big shower and the kitchenette provides all you need. The main bed and pull-out sofa bed are nice. All linens are nice and clean. The only thing I would change is the location of the AC unit as it's located right over the main bed and their bedspread is pretty thin so bring an extra blanket! Would definitely recommend and we would stay here again!

Cute little cabin near the water

Place is just as advertised, it’s got the essentials you’d need for a quick pit stop. Would have liked some better showers but that’s our only complaint. We stayed here for a night before our cruise from Galveston terminal. All in all it’s a great budget friendly place with access to good restaurants and amenities.

The unit is cozy but comfortable. It’s close to the beach and offered lovely air conditioned comforts after long days out exploring. We were able to walk to lots of sights: haunted houses on Broadway, the historic Strand area, Pleasure Pier, tree sculptures, and Cordray Pharmacy. Host was very quick to reply and was kind to accommodate our need for a late check out. Nothing fancy, but great value for the money.
