Fantastic!!!

This was a fantastic stay. We enjoyed this cottage before boarding a Royal Caribbean cruise. This was perfect for our short stay and we really enjoyed the outside space. We were 4 adults, it was a little tight, but the cottage was clean and quaint and, given the adfordable price, was perfect for us. Thank you for sharing with us.

Very cute property. Everything in the listing was correct. Very clean and decor was cute. Super easy to get around Galveston by walking. The area the house is located in is kind of a mix. It is ok during the day but at night I would recommend that you are home before dark. I would book stay here again.

The Whimsical Mermaid Cottage was a cute little place to bring my small family for our first trip to Galveston! It was very clean and not a far drive to the beach and all that Galveston has to offer! Can’t wait to come back!

Nice Little House

This house was great. Very clean and the location gives you easy access to whatever you want to do in Galveston. However, there is limited parking just on the street in front of the house. The neighborhood seemed a little sketchy but the house suited the purpose of our trip well at a reasonable price.

Wonderful Family Stay in Galveston

Close to Children’s Museum, restaurants, and both the Strand and the beach! The house itself was very clean. The beds were comfortable—we all slept soundly. The kitchen worked well for cooking breakfast. We liked the decorative touches and that there were books and games for the kids! We appreciate how the host accommodated us upon arrival. Thanks!
