When it’s time to hit the hay, rest easy on comfortable furnishings. The primary suite’s queen bed overlooks beautiful wetland views, plus the room opens out onto a covered deck that’s the perfect spot for birding.

A laundry room with a full size washer & dryer makes it easy to pack light for longer trips.

Restful and Relaxing
With a view of water from all sides, the property was perfectly located on a quiet street. The home was nicely updated, beautifully decorated, and clean and comfortable. Galveston and all it has to offer was just a short drive away.

Stay During Ironman Race
We were in town for the Ironman 70.3 triathlon and wanted a quiet place to stay. My husband doesn't race, but loves to fish, so I thought this would be a perfect place for both of us ... and it was. We loved the out-of-the-way location, and the views are wonderful. Communications with property manager were very good. Cottage was clean and bed was comfortable. Fishing pier was great to have. Lots of birds to observe, although those darn laughing gulls are quite noisy. I would highly recommend this home.
