We had an amazing stay at this beach house! The home was clean, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The bedroom was cozy and comfortable, the kitchen was fully stocked, and the outdoor space was perfect for morning coffee. Communication with the host was easy and friendly throughout our stay. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this rental to anyone looking for a relaxing beach vacation.

The Mermaid House was perfect for our couples getaway. The house was clean, close to the beach and restaurants. The outside lights weren’t working the 1st night but Rhonda was very quick to get them fixed. The kitchen has everything you need. We were so thankful for the off the street parking because out front you may have issues finding parking close to the house. The house was beautiful and comfortable, I couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Thank you!

We enjoyed our stay so much! It was the perfect getaway for us. The cottage was so cozy and welcoming. You could feel the history in the home in a way that that just isn't possible in a cookie cutter condo or hotel.

I absolutely loved the little beach house. Rhonda was very tentative. The home was very cozy. Enjoyed reading a little about the history in the house.The fresh paint looked fabulous and I loved loved the plants in the backyard. I can’t wait to return to see the lemon tree. I highly recommend staying at the little beach House in Galveston.

We had a wonderful stay at this beach cottage. It was very clean and quaint, and the quiet neighborhood made it especially relaxing. We really enjoyed sitting on the porch in the evenings. The cottage is also an easy walk to the beach and several restaurants. The host was great, and we would definitely come back again.

The host was very easy to engage with. The home is very cute. The location was nice and easy to access the beach. Unfortunately it was very quite dirty. I believe there was black mold in the home and I became ill with a sinus infection shortly after our stay. Again, it’s a cute home, but needs some rehab and deep cleaning.

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!
