This is the quintessential Galveston cottage. Complete with all the "Old timey" looks and feels we were hoping for. From the original wooden floors, wavy-glass windows, and discerningly eclectic antiques Cy selected to make it feel homey...it warmed our hearts and tickled our sandy beach toes.

We had such a wonderful stay at this cozy cottage! It truly exceeded our expectations—warm, inviting, and thoughtfully designed with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The space felt like a home away from home, and every detail added to the charm. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and are already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend!
