Coconut Cottage

“We had a great experience. Very close to the beach. Loved that they provided plenty of towels. Very spacious with outdoor seating areas too. Host was very nice, communicative and responsive. Would def recommend.”

Broadway Lodge

“Had a great stay here with my family before we went on our cruise out of Galveston. The house is cute and accurate to the photos. The home itself is positioned on the Main Street so it is not safe for children to be outside in the front part of the home. However, it more than makes up for it at the back of the home because it has an enclosed parking area and a pool which of course is fun for the kids. We would definitely stay here again.”

Bermuda Rose

“Big house, open spaces and plenty of rooms for a big group of people who’ve been wanting to spend some time together or celebrate an event. It was a great experience and worth every penny!”

Broadway Lodge II

“Great place to accommodate multiple people! Comfortable and clean.”

Big Kahuna

“Our stay was amazing.”
