Sweet little cottage

This little cottage is just a block and a half from the sea wall and an easy 10 minute drive to the downtown area. Very cute beach-y style decor, and well equipped kitchen and bathrooms. The beds are quite comfy too (firm). Great front porch and brick patio with ample seating on the side. Kudos for dog friendliness (property is completely fenced in) and thanks for Tony and Ron who could not have been more gracious and responsive. Highly recommend

Sandy Feet is THE BEST!

Sandy Feet is a wonderful retreat - five minutes from the beach! It is in a quiet neighborhood, and with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, along with kitchen, dining and living areas, it is very accommodating. The owners have outfitted the house with the best in the way of kitchen utensils, laundry facilities, beautiful linens, and whimsical decor. We cannot wait to go back!

Galveston Getaway

Cottage was wonderful but I would not advertise as pet friendly. Was not pet friendly because Oleander bushes in the yard are toxic to animals. No grass inside fenced area. House open underneath house for wild critters. The cottage itself was great and we would gladly rent again without our two small dogs.

Sandy Feet is very conveniently located to the beach and the boardwalk. Nice restaurants nearby. We recommend Millers. The rental had two wagons to use which was very helpful for small children.
