I booked the cottage for myself, husband, and another couple, but had to back out at the last minute. Ended up being just our friends staying and they loved it. Kalli is a very understanding and responsive host. I would definitely rent again!
Myself, my husband & dog loved this place!! The location was close to everything on the island.
The house itself was so cute! Will be coming back this summer!
The house was so cute and a perfect size for our little family! It’s in a perfect location to Pleasure Pier, East Beach, local delicious restaurants, and more! All neighbors friendly and we felt very at home! Being originally from New Orleans, it had the vibe we love with a fun, calming beachy twist! I’d definitely recommend the Lavender House or any of their properties! Hosts are attentive, kind, and always available to help! Definitely book with them!
This was a nice place to stay while visiting with family and friends who live in Galveston. Easy to get to places I wanted to go. They had thoughtful touches which were appreciated.
It was my sister and brother’s first time to experience Galveston Mardi Gras and I wanted to stay someplace close, this place was perfect! It had every amenity that we needed and more! The owners go above and beyond to make sure you enjoy your stay. I will definitely book with them again. Thank you!!
My husband, myself and 14 yr old grandson at the Lavender house. It looked just like the pictures on vrbo. The colors of the outside and the cute little front porch were great. The beds were comfy and the rooms inviting. My grandson loved the fact we could venmo a pizza for him! All in all it was a great place to stay. I would book again. Orlando and Kally thank you so much for a lovely stay!
A comfortable, clean cottage. Great beds and pillows.
We loved this property. Just a 10 minute walk to Pleasure Pier and the beach. Close to lots of good restaurants. I was exactly what we needed, and more! Extremely happy!
House is super cute and clean. Check in was easy. Pet friendly! Only suggestion is maybe include the backyard is shared in case other homes have dogs too. Our dogs are friendly but don’t like being startled by other animals. Host was super quick to respond on communication.
We stayed for 2 nights prior to our cruise. Super clean and so very cute! Everything you need is included. Comfortable beds - which are so hard to find. Nice patio area outside. Great place to stay. Highly recommend!!!
Enjoyed our stay. Cottage was clean, and tidy. Had an issue with ants but not a real problem. Neighbors were all very kind. Every person that we interacted with in Galveston was very polite.
This is the most delightful little lavendar cottage. The hosts have thought of everything to make your stay perfect. There is even a "white noise " maker in the bedroom to make sure you sleep well! You will be happy you stayed! By the way, the hosts are delightful and easy to reach. We will stay again!
We had an amazing time visiting Galveston! We only really used the house to sleep, but the beds were so comfy and the blankets and when you set the right temperature in the room we slept like babies. I don't know why someone would leave a negative review about the neighbors, they didn't bother us at all! It was quiet for most of the time!
My parents decided to take a weekend to visit the island and attend a concert at The Grand. Mom loved the colors and decorations. Especially the fact they could bring their dog. It was just great for what they needed. Easy access and close to a lot of things they wanted to do. The park nearby was a bonus. We’ll definitely keep this house saved. Highly recommend.
Our stay way perfect. The only comment i have is for kitchen storage space, we only stayed for 2 nights so it wasnt bad, but we had to get creative with storing chips and other snacks. Everything else was perfect. The hosts were very attentive and quick to respond. The first aid kit even came in handy on our last night. We loved how organized everything was and it made it super easy to find anything you needed.
We booked this cute cottage for our stay before our cruise. It was just blocks away from the port and was really neat to see the ships in the morning. Everything was perfect and clean.
Just a word of advice—if you book during high school football season, be prepared to hear the game and if you leave losing your parking spot. We left to go eat and when we returned our spot was taken, we drove around Galveston for about 30 minutes before the space was freed up. Wasn’t a big deal at all just wanted to prepare others.
My best friend and I brought our two Birthday Boys to celebrate their 15th. We all loved the place. Kally and Orlando have made a place to stay such a fun experience. We will for sure be back in the warm weather to enjoy all the rest of the beach attractions. It was cute and had more that anything for you if you forgot your own. Thank you so much for accommodating our little fur princess! KT loved her bed and special bowl and water!
The owners of the property are so nice and super attentive to any questions you have. The house came with a lot of complimentary snacks and options to purchase wine. It was very close to the strand and beach HOWEVER... location/neighborhood was a little worrisome. The neighbors across the street party all day and night and were throwing stuff at our fence and mocking us. We decided to leave a night early. Not at all the owners fault. They were great and the house was cute.

Cute but not safe
My friend and I planned a little girls trip away from Houston. We came Friday evening and went out. Came back to the house around 1am and had a man across the street staring at us. He left and came back. We did not feel safe as 2 women by ourselves since this guy was coming from the house across from the backyard. We felt this guy was not watching for good reason. With that we left that night due to safety. Don’t bother telling the host if you feel unsafe as it’s specified in the notes of an “urban” area or whatever. We come from Houston it’s just as cultured. With that, would not stay or come back again.
My mother and I escaped to the coast for a short girls weekend and thoroughly enjoyed "the purple house!" That was our pet name for it during our stay. We weren't there long enough to utilize ALL of the things that were offered, but Kally and her husband have literally thought of everything! From personal bike rentals - right outside your door - to little extras to make your life easier, it is all there with a simple QR code. It was almost like a scavenger hunt throughout or weekend finding tiny QR code stickers. We talked about it the entire trip! Great idea!
We encountered one thing that was100% out of anyone's control but I feel it at least deserved a mention for future guests. Friday nights in Texas are all about football during the season and the purple house is very close to the football stadium. We actually enjoyed listening to the football game announcer and the high school band from the stands before turning in. The only issue we had was the streets being lined with vehicles of football game attendees and not being able to park in front of the house as directed once we returned from dinner. We found a spot on a side street for the time being and just moved our car later on in the night. So, if you're going to stay during football season, maybe just take an Uber to dinner. You're close to basically everything anyway!
We would definitely come back to stay here! Also, I think my mother waved and left a message via the Ring doorbell camera 😅
