Our dog and us fell immediately at home in this cozy house. Gina was very responsive and answered our questions (by text) immediately. Quiet neighborhood with beautiful gardens, it was a pleasure to walk the dog in the morning. Close to restaurants and historical attractions. Very enjoyable stay

Home away from home
We loved our recent trip to Galveston and the home we stayed in really contributed to that enjoyment. It felt more like we were staying at a friend's (beautiful) house than we were renting a place. Definitely much more enjoyable than a hotel room. This place is lovely and cosy. We will definitely want to stay here again!

Would not revisit this home.
It was a nice decoreated little house, but when we arrived in the middle of July the temperature was on 85. It took until way in the night to cool the house. There is a picture of a Jacuzzi but it looked like it hasn't been used in years. The washing machine was not working. Not anyone's fought but the electricity went off the second day and that was it we left. Not knowing how long the electricity would be off and house was getting hot again. I hate to give bad reviews but I wouldn't stay here again. Not kid friendly more of a couple get away place. We did expect Wifi but should have did more research because didn't realize until we were there it wasn't available.

Old and dirty
The house is old and in need of many repairs. The shower in the bathroom is disgusting with paint peeling, stains, and the paneling falling off the wall. The home is pet friendly and it shows. The couch and chair are covered in dog hair. The pillow on the bed had huge chunks of dog hair stuck on the outside and even inside the pillowcase. There were clumps of dog hair laying around on the floor in several places. There is a hole in the front porch and the knobs on tops of the front porch stairwell are broken and fell off. The gutters on the garage are falling off. The pillows on the bed are yellowing and stained. The home is definitely not kid friendly, at least not young kids, as there was stuff (vases, knick knacks, etc) on top of stuff. Even more than what shows in the pictures. I was a wreck trying to protect everything from my two kids. We were told that we couldn’t get into the house early due to cleaning, but I’m not sure what was cleaned. Aside from the dog hair, the shower curtain had two large clumps of sand stuck on it (that could’ve been cleaned off with a good cleaning). The stove had crumbs all over it and the kitchen drawers had crumbs and stains inside of them. Thankfully, we were only at the house long enough to sleep and eat breakfast really. I thanked Gina for sharing her home; however I feel that if you’re opening your home to families spending GOOD money, it should be clean and well kept.

Wonderful Cottage for a BFF Stay
My bestfriend of 35 years and I had a wonderful girlfriend's weekend in the comforts of this special cottage and home. The decor is so inspirational and the suites made each of us feel like Queens! We had the best time being wanna-a-be culinary chefs in the kitchen and enjoyed the comfort of blankets and movies available. Bless you for creating a wonderful ambiance to nurture our friendship!
