Cottage vacation rentals in Surfside Beach

Michael and Tara were wonderful hosts. They were very responsive each time I reached out. The cottage was exactly as depicted in the photos. Great location close to the beach and restaurants. We enjoyed our stay!

My family and I had a great stay. Every picture and everything listed were very accurate. Geat space and lots of sleeping accommodations.

We enjoyed our stay! The home was clean and cozy. Our favorite part was outside as the backyard was very private with a large privacy fence and a play set that our two children absolutely loved, making it easy to visit with family while they were entertained. Would stay again!

The property is beautiful… there is a view from every window and balcony. You can see the ocean and the bay… unique for Galveston Island. There is a pond directly outside and with the fountain, which kept mosquitos away. The kitchen is good for entertaining a family, and there is a formal and outdoor dining area. I would suggest bringing a bed pillow, high quality pan, and extra roll of paper towels. Alex was nice and responsive. The resort is family oriented and the quiet was well worth the 20 minute drive. We will stay with this host again!

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage! The house is perfect for a family beach trip and Antonio was an excellent host - great communication with all the details needed up front. The ADA beach access was very close and easier to navigate with a wagon than others we’ve used. The place has comfy furnishings and we felt right at home! Specifically, the sofa, beds and linens nice and blackout curtains. We found everything we needed at the cottage: Everything needed for the resort pools and beach (adult and kid beach towels, sand toys, beach chairs, wagon, outdoor shower, etc.). Kitchen: a variety of skillets, pots, and pans, baking sheets, cooking utensils, cups, nice dual coffee machine for k-cup or a whole drip pot. Bathrooms: tidy and stocked with towels, travel toiletries, makeup removal wash cloths Bonus: toys and books for kids, TVs (bunk room, living room, downstairs patio), first aid kit, washer/dryer and deck/rocking chairs to watch the herons and turtles in the lagoon!

This was our second stay at this location. It is perfectly located between the Strand and the beach. When you walk in the door you feel right at home, everything you need is there. The first time we stayed we said we'd be back, we did, next time we head back to Galveston we're going to make our reservations for this location. The host makes the stay so easy with local recommendations.

Staci was SUPER helpful with our stay. She went above and beyond expectations and the place was great! I would highly recommend her for your next trip to Bolivar beach. We had a great little getaway. If you have questions, she is always responsive and makes sure you have all that you need! Thank you Staci!

Location was good for me. I was using the public boat ramp, and this place it right beside it. Access was easy. Everything in the house worked. AC was cold and water was hot. Everything you need to cook and entertain. Would stay again!

I had a wonderful stay at the charming speakeasy! The home was not only beautiful and clean, but also filled with so much character and history—it truly felt like stepping back in time, in the best way. It actually looked even better in person than in the photos, which was such a pleasant surprise. The location couldn’t have been better—just a short walk to the Seawall and close to all the quaint shops, restaurants, and sights in old downtown. The host was welcoming and made sure everything was perfect for my stay. If you’re looking for a place with both comfort and soul, this is it. Highly recommend! Thanks Barbara!

We had a great time and could not have been be happier with Mary and Henry’s place.

Check in was a breeze. Place was very neat and clean. Location was perfect. David and Andrea communicated great when needed. Will defiantly stay here again. Thanks for offering a nice and safe place to stay for our Christmas this year. Kind regards, Donna & Renea

The home was very nice and it was nice that it was right by the ocean

This was a nice get away place, very quiet, comfortable and relaxing. Right across the street from the beach! Priya was very friendly and communicated very well. Definitely enjoyed our stay!

This is our second time renting Choral Haven. It’s such a nice, cozy home, walking distance to the beach. The home looks just like the picture and everything you need is provided, plus more. We will definitely be back again.

My family and I stayed at Helene & Charlie's place for a mini Summer getaway, and I can't express how perfect it was! The house is just as advertised. It was extremely clean and we absolutely loved the location! I really appreciated the detailed manual as well. They leave plenty of information about restaurants, attractions, and anything else you can think of. The yard and patio were very spacious and relaxing, and our kids were ecstatic about the amount of new games they got to try. SO many card, board, and yard games! The pass to Porretto Beach was just the icing on the cake. We had the best time! Helene & Charlie were extremely professional, accommodating, pleasant, and attentive to our needs the entire stay. (Even though we didn't need anything because their house is very well stocked). Their communication is excellent, their home is immaculate, and you can tell that they truly care about your experience! I would highly recommend their home to anyone looking to stay in Galveston!

It was nice. It was clean and cute and next to the boardwalk where everything is.

Loved our stay at the cottage, actually felt much larger than space appeared in pics. Enjoyed the evening on the deck, plenty of cooking pots/pans/utensils, but also enjoyed restaurants close by. Beach just a couple blocks, very easy walk. Ron & Tony were amazing hosts, made sure we knew how to access property and even recommended a great lunch spot for us to try! Highly recommend!

Second stay here and we love it! We will be back without a doubt. The house is cozy, clean and comfortable. The location is so close to all the action. And the little yard is always perfect for us to hang out and unwind at night. Lauren is so sweet and accommodating. Thanks again for another perfect stay!

Sarah’s place was so clean and cozy! So many amenities to make us feel at home. I would highly recommend this place.

Our family had a great time at Salt & Light! We loved that it was on the beach side of the highway so no need to cross a busy road. The house looked just like the pictures and had everything we needed. We enjoyed playing ping pong in the downstairs area and grilling fajitas for dinner. Also really appreciated that they allowed pets.

The home is very comfortable. We didn’t get to spend much time in it because we were traveling for a baseball tournament, but I would definately stay there again. Linda made sure we had a working laundry set, which was essential to us. Very quiet, laid back. Nice to find basic needs like detergent, coffee, edulcorant, spices, oil, etc… My son’s team won the tournament! Thank you Linda!
