Seaside Cottage

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Pack your bags, get everyone ready, and don't forget Fido for an amazing vacation at this bayfront dog-friendly home. Come unwind with the whole family while you revel in the water views and enjoy having the beach as your playground when you book your seaside stay!

This vacation rental is located toward the western side of Galveston Island, near Jamaica Beach. Set just a short walk from the golden Texas Gulf Coast shore, this home gives you the chance to hit the waves with ease.

Bright and spacious, the main living area beckons you to come sink into the soft blue couches after a long day on the beach. Check out what's on cable or make some small bites to enjoy later on when you watch your favorite DVD on the flatscreen TV.

Step out onto the deck to read a book in the peace of the ocean breeze, or listen to some tunes over the WiFi while you unwind. Use the gas grill to cook up your fresh catch, or head back into the comfort of the central A/C to do some cooking in the kitchen.

Featuring a full-size refrigerator, microwave, and a breakfast bar to serve on, keeping everyone fueled up and ready for the next outing will be a piece of cake. Get everyone together around the classic dining room table, or spread out on the deck and at the breakfast bar.

When it's time to turn in, this two-bedroom, one-bathroom home will sleep up to eight guests and two small pups with ease. Please note a 25-pound weight limit for dogs and a nightly pet fee. In the master bedroom, there is a soft queen-size bed and plenty of storage for all of your belongings. With two more twin-size beds in the second room, as well as a twin-size bunk bed, you'll be able to spread out in privacy. If you need more sleeping space there are two futons available.

Wake up early to launch off the dock to explore the beautiful waters of Ostermayer Bayou. Take a few pictures of the local marine life while you paddle through the deep blue waters. Book a tee time at one of the nearby golf courses to drive the fairways and unwind in the warm Texas sun.

Spend a day wandering through the colored pyramids of Galveston's Moody Gardens. Watch the sharks swim overhead as you walk through the glass tunnel. Head into the Rainforest Pyramid to see the monkeys, then jump on Colonel Paddlewheel Boat for a ride through waters.

With fun around every corner and relaxation blowing in on the ocean breeze, this Texas home puts the best of everything at your fingertips.

Save yourself the trouble - outdated - Never again!
Arrived on Sunday, A/C was off, house was 88 degrees. Advised owner that it was off and there was other damages around the property. She offered refund for the night or we could move to a bay side property. I chose this house despite the reviews because of location. A/C repair was to come next day to fix the a/c. I accepted refund for the night that we would stick it out because we loved the location. View was terrible but only short walk to the beach. Next day a/c guy came late in the day and determined it would need replaced it was beyond repair. So owner then offered another beach side house so we had to pack up and move. Still havent received the refund we were promised. House is terribly outdated, mini blinds in every room were either broken or didnt fit windows. Large window in shower so hope you're not shy because neighbors will see it all. The 3rd bedroom does not have a 3rd bed, no futon, only bunk beds. House definitely left some to be desired. Owner was good to communicate up until we left then stopped responding and never got refunded for first miserable night. House needs a lot of TLC, has some potential if owners cared to invest any efforts into it. I certainly wont make the mistake of booking this house again. Save yourself the trouble!

Ended better than it began thanks to Terri
The home we rented originally was absolutely awful! The photos on the website did not represent the home properly… Bugs were all over the house, water was leaking out from everything to include the smoke detector ,one of the windows was in the floor, where they were trying to get the smell out, there was bird poop on the floor, and the bathroom had a sewage smell. Also, none of the televisions worked properly The next morning after being in contact with a rep. We were moved to a different house and it was awesome. It was clean and well maintained. We were all very comfortable there. We thank the rep. For jumping in and fixing the issue and helping get a beautiful place for our grandchildren to stay.

Mediocre rental
When i arrived the door code woukd not work. I called vacasa and was not given anybinfo as only my spouses name was on the reservation. Aftet he called from a differebt location he was given a code for keys in a lock box. They worked for the house. The refrigerator was not on when I arrived and it was hot. After I reset the plug it came on. However I had to go buy ice to put in so my groceries would not ruin. There were dead roaches (about 10) scattered all over the house. Also the bathroom was dirty....fust and dead bugs in the tub and sink. Having to clean up immediately was not the best start. The house overall is just older and had some dsgging cabinets, scuffs on walls, a couple of holes in walls. The put door furniture was sun weathered and 1 chair broke when I sat in it damaging my pride. This property just needs some upkeep amd some updating. All the linens were clean and smelled nice.

Nasty and misleading
We dealth with ants, roaches and sewer smell the whole time we was there. The house was not clean there was dirty used q tips on the bathroom floor, hair on the shower tile NOT from us roaches ants in beds all over the counter. You could not leave nothing sitting you could not put your bags on the floor because you didn't know what was going to crawl in it. The bedding smelt like sour throw up. This house needs lots of TLC and for what they charge its very disappointing. The pictures and description is very misleading leading. The view is the only good thing. We could not use anything in the cabinets there was dead roaches on dishes on shelf the fridge is broken and nasty. The manager did reach out but haven't heard anything since. The owner of this house should be ashamed in renting this out. No privacy in the bedrooms blinds are broke. Never again will I rent this house.

The house was ok. Need some minor mantance fixes. Cleaning crew needs to do better.
Overall experience was ok. A couple minor things and the manager was prompt on getting it handled. Not the best house I have rented but the roof don't leak and we had a good time. Biggest complaint is the beds are like sleeping on a concrete floor.
