This house was perfect for a romantic getaway with my husband! Poretto beach was literally a 2 minute drive and was very nice and not over crowded. The strand is a 5 minute drive. Check in was easy. House is super cute and set up nicely. Would definitely reccomned this rental.

Baby moon trip

We had a wonderful time staying at the cute little house Rhonda provided! The house was just as pictured and located in a perfect spot right near the main seawall. The free beach access with chairs/umbrella was also such a huge bonus for us. We’d love to come back again!

Little House Memorial Day 2025

The house is cute, very clean and well maintained. It had everything we needed. The bed was actually comfortable, which hasn't always been true for VRBOs. We had zero issues.We really appreciated the vibe of the house, and felt immediately at home. When we weren't running around town, we enjoyed sitting on the front porch with cocktails and people watching. The owner was an A communicator. We will definitely stay here again when we return to Galveston.

just a little getaway

the cottage was cheerfully decorated and cozy. The bed and couch were comfortable and there was very nice seating for six on an outside patio. It has a great location very near the beach and also convenient for the downtown district. The neighborhood was nice and we always felt safe. There are plenty of nice eateries close by. We will stay there again if it's just the two of us. One or two more people could be manageable but it's best for just two. Host was very responsive and welcoming.

Rhonda makes sure you feel at home and goes above and beyond to accommodate. We have stayed at the little beach house twice and both times it’s been a perfect place to spend the weekend. Close to everything and Rhonda has everything you could possibly need for a great beach getaway.
