I hope to come again when the wind is less but I was snug & very comfortable here. Delightful little place. Wonderful upstairs bedroom, great balcony. Beautiful lighting and and touches throughout. Perfect for one or two. Think of a hobbit house for regular sized people. Really charming.

It was a very quaint place, owners Don and Nancy were great…..Beautiful setting and location on Gulf!!!!! The only glitch was fixed IMMEDIATELY (air conditioner) and the kitchen was not stocked with the essentials like most VRBO’s (salt, pepper, a little bottled water to greet the guests, etc) We bought a nice frying pan, and basics for the next guest…..Also bought 2 other pillows and pillow covers so we had a variety and so the next guest can too…..Bed was comfortable…..The only major suggestion I would suggest would be a taller/handicap toilet…otherwise our visit was wonderful!!! We would not hesitate to come back…… Great hosts! As nice as it is to be home…. We are already missing it! THANK YOU Donald and Nancy!

La Petit Maison was the best place we could have chosen to stay for just the two of us! We had everything we needed for our 2 night stay. The view of the bay and the pier were such a treat! I only regret that we didn't have enough time to fish from the pier on this stay but we will definitely be back with our fishing gear on our next visit. Our hosts were lovely and we're so grateful they shared their beautiful property with us. I highly recommend booking La Petit Maison if you're visiting the area and looking for a cozy, waterfront getaway!

Husband, dog and I were in the Galveston Bay area looking for houses. La Petit Maison was perfect for our stay. Comfortable, clean, and quiet. Very efficient A/C units were on when we arrived. We walked along the short private walkway to the private deck and private pier a number of times for beautiful views of the bay, sunrise, and sunset. Notable extras include neighborhood location (wonderful for walking our dog) great indoor lighting for evenings, and lots of bath towels and racks for hanging.

Stayed here for a family reunion. Our family rented several houses in this area. We had a wonderful time here. It was great coming back to this house at the end of the day, super clean, and a great bed. Having a super comfie bed makes a huge difference! Would definitely stay here again. Thanks to hosts❤️
