Exactly as described
This house was so cute! I loved the updated features inside and my son loved the “secret” game room downstairs. The only downside was the bed in the primary room and the sofa sleeper were both pretty uncomfortable and very loud if you move around in them. Overall, we were very happy with the property and how quickly the owners responded to our communication.

Weekend in Galveston
It was a decent little cottage. We were there to visit with friends and attend the sand castle competition. The only 2 discomforts I would mention are; the kitchen was incredibly warm since there wasn’t an AC unit and trying to cook just heated it up more. and the bed closest to front door was uncomfortable for my husband and I. It felt broken down. Otherwise it was a cute, clean place.

It couldn’t have been set up better. Such a great location near all the good eats. You could use a grab bar in the tub but overall. Great experience

Cozy and comfortable
We had a great time staying in the cottage. Everything was perfect. It was close to the beach and Downtown. Felt safe in the neighborhood. Walking distance to the beach but it was too hot for us to walk and my parents are elderly. So I would say car was better for us but parking was easy. The house was well stocked with board games for the kids and a game room downstairs was a nice touch. QEven my fur baby was comfortable. It was nicely decorated and clean. Would definitely recommend it.

Sealy stay
Location was good. Home’s style and vibe was pleasant. Loved the cozy beach feel. Loved the downstairs area. Floors were a bit dirty. Had to vacuum up sand and dust balls. Pull out bed had a layer of sand. Couldn’t use.

Nice Spot for a Quick Getaway
Our family of four stayed in this charming cottage for five days. The kitchen was well provisioned, AC cold, single bathroom roomy enough for everyone’s stuff, and the hangout space below was an especially huge hit with the kids. Access to Porretto Beach was great, but only open on the weekend during our stay. Overall a great little house for a beach escape.
