Felt comfortable and at home the moment we drove up. Great location, super clean and true feel of Galveston Island living. Asta, our host, was very attentive and made us feel very comfortable with so many amenities to get us started. Will definitely be back for more home style comfort.

We loved our stay at this beautifully restored home decorated with so many beautiful furnishings! Asta was the perfect hostess and so kind-she provided a bottle of champagne and a card since we were celebrating our anniversary! It was an honor to be the first guests at this elegant and super clean cottage with so many amenities and so close to the beach. Everything was perfect- plenty of cooking utensils, games, she thought of everything. Next time I hope to have more time to enjoy the backyard/ veranda- so inviting! We will definitely be going back!
