Babymoon

Super small & cozy little cottage to stay in - a little noisy at night if it's windy/ stormy & a little noisy in the morning with a rooster next door lol - very well equipped and wanting for nothing in terms of everything you need to sleep, cook & have a good time. The check-out was a little confusing as there's a printed list of items in the place that don't match the list that's provided in digital format - other than this, hosts were very accommodating & stay was cute, quaint & fun!! We enjoyed this as a mini-vacay or "babymoon" before having our first baby and also got to bring out mini doxie which was perfect.

Beautiful and quiet cottage

Our first impression was “wow, this is awesome!” Photos do not do it justice. The property was close enough to access everything, yet provided us the quiet escape we were seeking. The booking process was simple along with easy to follow check out expectations. Looking foreword to booking again for a peaceful and cozy getaway.

Perfect holiday getaway

We chose the spot as it was close to my families holiday get together. This home was everything we needed, and we were very impressed with all of the amenities. My 13-year-old son and nine-year-old daughter loved the loft. Perfect location. Enjoyed walking to the end of the street for morning coffee. Looking forward to staying here again for our next holiday visit.

Weekend Getaway

We had so much fun in San Leon - great weather & great restaurants! And the house was adorable! Amazing use of a somewhat small space! Very clean & neat and top of the line amenities! Wine on the balcony at night, breakfast on the patio in the AM! Kids would LOVE the loft upstairs! Definitely will rent this again!!

Great place to stay! Going again soon!!

We had a great time here, there are tons of things to do close to the property. Great restaurants close...If you want to go to Pier 6 to eat make a reservation before you get to town (very good food). Kemah is close and we had a great day there, the beach is close...you can go to Galveston Strand in 20-25min for shopping. The house is great, small but set up perfectly with an awesome patio. Our daughter "loved" the upstairs loft. The AC works awesome, it was really hot when we went in Aug and the place was cool and comfortable. We plan to go back soon. I go down to go fishing with friends, the bay boat launches are right there. I would recommend you bring your groceries...there is a store very close but it doesn't have everything...and prices are a little higher. That store has really good breakfast burritos by the way!! Overall I would recommend this property to anyone. The San Leon area has a few shady places, but the house is close to the water and you are on the quiet side of the road on a dead end quiet street. I think there is a new restaurant at the end of the street within walking distance (we did not get a chance to try it)…I didn't even notice it until we left. Going again as soon as we can, hopefully it's available!!

Better than the pictures!

The property was so clean and had so much useful tech inside. It was a bit small, but had a lot of sleeping options. Everything was totally straight forward. It was a bit far from Galveston proper and had limited beach access nearby, but for the price driving a little each day was worth it!

Perfect for what we needed

We just needed a place we could launch our boat on the bay, do some fishing, and sleep. The parking was a little tight, but we were able park the truck and boat inside a gated and fenced yard. We were advised not to leave our boat docked at the local marinas by the marina owners, so it worked out perfectly. Jonathan was great and easy to contact. It served our purpose well, and gave us a clean place to sleep.

Peaceful & Tranquil Bay Cottage

The Bay Cottage was as described and more. A home away from home is just what we were hoping for and we got it. Plenty of towels, blankets, everything we needed for cooking. Waters in fridge and seasoning available. If you forget your phone charger, they have plenty available for you. We loved how safe and secure we felt with the gate lock and the codes too get in. We also loved how we were 15 minutes or so from Galveston & not in the hustle and bustle of all the tourists and traffic. Jonathan was great on communication with us before our trip and during. He is very accommodating and his hospitality would be 10 stars if I could give him that. We did a crab boil while there on the well shaded and cool porch with bar/sink and grill. Jonathan even provided us with the proper items we needed for the boil. What really made this place wonderful was how we could bring our furr baby with us and he even had his own bed and toys waiting on him. Relaxed him right away after a long trip on the road. Absolutely a GREAT location. We will definitely be making this bay cottage our home away from home in the summers following.

Hidden gem in San Leon

Great location in San Leon just feet away from the bay. Fun for fishing or just riding bikes that are provided on site. Great local restaurants and some very fun dive bars. Our hosts went above and beyond with information about the local area. The house looks small from the outside but the interior layout is surprisingly welcoming, comfortable and quiet. Tons of amenities! The outdoor kitchen and the herb gardens are priceless and made our stay feel more like home. Great place to just hang out and relax or use as a local base for exploring the area. OUR HOSTS WERE BEYOND ACCOMADATING!! THANK YOU JONATHAN AND PATRICK. We have been here 2 times and will come again. Highly recommend it!
