We had such a wonderful time at the Cottage on Q! Everything was so tidy and welcoming, and decorated perfectly. The rooms were lovely, the beds comfy, and neighbors very nice. This little Cottage is in a perfect location just a few blocks from the beach. It’s a charmer and you will love it too.

The Cottage was clean and cozy. The AC worked well and the fans in the rooms and living room. Kitchen was a good size, great stove and plenty of dishware, utensils and pots and pans and nice quality as well. The washer and dryer was a plus being by the beach and after a week's stay. Neighborhood was not noisy and close to not only the beach but stores and restaurants. Would definitely recommend a stay here and we will return for another visit. Thank you.

We had such a wonderful stay at this cozy cottage! It truly exceeded our expectations—warm, inviting, and thoughtfully designed with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The space felt like a home away from home, and every detail added to the charm. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and are already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend!

This was our first stay with VRBO and we loved staying at the Cottage on Avenue Q. The space was perfect for my friend and I to have a girl’s weekend. Home was very clean, had all the essentials for cookware and bedding, and every space was used to its fullest potential. Thank you for having us! A wonderful location; just a few blocks away from the beach. A very doable walk. The strand is close by with a ride-share service or bikes if you rent them. Parking was a breeze. Plenty of street parking available and the small shared grass pad in between the cottage and the neighbor’s unit is available for use. We will gladly stay at the Cottage again! Please don’t forget to sign the cute guest book.

COZIEST COTTAGE!

This is our second summer here and it was just as perfect this time as our last! It's so hard to write anything when everything is amazing! Which is a great thing! The cottage feels like your home... it is super clean, has plenty of paper towels/ toilet paper, cooking pots/ pans for cooking, towels etc...The beds are comfy, with soft sheets and nice comforter. **AND they actually let you USE the air conditioner and set the temperature!!!! If you stay in enough VRBOS you KNOW what I mean!!! Huge, huge plus being in the heat and humidity of August in Galveston! :)You will not go wrong staying here. We will be back!Thank you Cy for sharing your gorgeous home!P.S. Street is quite and always felt safe!!!
So inviting!

We enjoyed our stay. The house was cozy and lovely. We enjoyed our coffee on the porch in the morning or sometimes even a short walk around the neighborhood. It had all the amenities we needed. We would stay here again, as well as recommended for small groups.
