    Good location, within walking distance of the Galvez. Nice hot tub, although the bedding was a bit sparse, and the entry door key code was too long to memorize, and a bit overdone!

    Great property for being 117 YO, few mins away from all the must visit spots, along with sea wall, pleasure pier and about 30 mins from kemah broadwalk and Jamaica beach. My 3yr old dog enjoyed the stay, very cute spot. Hosts were very responsive and attentive to our needs. Best for the price! for a small family, 10/10 recommend

    We enjoyed our 2nd stay at this charming 1907 cottage, with its proximity to the beach and our favorite restaurants. We appreciate that we can bring our dogs, as it isn't a vacation unless they are with us. Excellent communication with the hosts. The kitchen was well appointed for cooking meals and enjoying takeout. The house was clean and comfortable, and I already miss the clawfoot tub. We also enjoyed the beautiful fenced yard, landscaping and hot tub.

    Me and my husband and our fur baby stayed here for a mini honeymoon. Galveston is where we had our first date so it’s a very special place for us. This place was in the greatest location, close to all the great parts of Galveston, The Strand and The Seawall. We loved riding the bikes and using the hot tub after exploring, it was very relaxing. Very cute and quaint place, would highly recommend it for a small group or family get away. We loved riding the two person bike!

    We enjoyed our stay. It’s was the perfect location for us. It was a good neighborhood and quiet at night. Great shopping and restaurants were just minutes away. The house was very clean and bed was comfortable. They provided all the essentials we needed to make it feel like home away from home. We will definitely be using them again for our next trip to Galveston.

    We stayed in Galveston on 10-25 and 10-26-2024. The location was perfect for getting around the island with restaurants and the gulf close by. The owners do a great job of communicating through the entire process. We would definitely stay at the Flamingo again.
