Quaint

This is a quaint comfortable cottage. The patio has a nice view as well as the balcony. We had our 5 pound Maltipoo with us and the host allowed us to leave her for a few hours so we could go to the Space Center. We enjoyed our stay.

A real gem with a great view

This property is a unique 2 story casita with well outfitted kitchen and a very comfortable king bed. The star of the show is the huge back sitting area overlooking Galveston Bay

Nice Weekend Getaway

My fiancé and I wanted a weekend break from wedding planning, and this provided just what we were looking for! Accessible views of the water from the balcony with access to a fishing pier, just a few minutes' drive from the Kemah Boardwalk and relatively easy to find! We would both recommend this for a couple looking for a little escape from it all!

We had a very relaxing stay here. The owners were very easy to get ahold of. The coffee maker stopped working and they replaced it immediately. It is beautiful inside and out. Highly recommend this property.

Cozy Cottage

Loved the wood beams and ceilings downstairs and wood floors upstairs. Only bath on first floor with only bedroom on second floor was a bit challenging but the access to very nice deck on the bay made it worth it. Would go back if circumstance presented itself.

This was everything!

We enjoyed our stay at La Petit Maison and will cherish the memories for years to come. The host was welcoming, communicative and informative. Everything was as described and the place was clean, comfortable, and cozy. We also enjoyed the Rusty Hook grill, just around the corner from the cottage. Additionally we appreciated being only minutes away in drive time to Kemah Boardwalk and NASA Space Center.

About the host

Hosted by Donald (Don) or Nancy Greenstein

Host profile image
Don and Nancy Greenstein: We are an educated and retired (33 years married) couple that live year round in the main residence on the property. Don is a native Houstonian whose family summer vacationed in the Galveston Bay area since the 1950s, Nancy is a retired business-owner from Ft. Wayne, IN. We have lived in the Galveston Bay area together for many years. The area is private, romantic and relaxed; the climate is semi-tropical with warm bay breezes year round. We enjoy boating, dining, golfing and family activities on the property and on Galveston Bay.

Why they chose this property

Don is a Houston native and has vacationed in the Bacliff/Bayview/Kemah, TX area all his life. I love the area's climate, water entertainment access and relaxed style of living. The seafood dining in the area is unmatched in the state of Texas. The productivity of offshore fishing in the Gulf of Mexico off the Galveston coast is unmatched in the U.S. The South Texas coast is the premier site saltwater entertainment mecca of the Houston area and South eastern Texas. This property has the best view (270 degree) of the Galveston Bay and the Houston Ship Channel that runs though it. Annually, on Fridays in the months of June and July there are waterfront hour-long fireworks displays that are visible from our waterfront decks. The wildlife (sea gulls, pelicans, porpoises) behavior displays from our decks are phenomenal.

What makes this property unique

There are only a few waterfront locations to stay on Galveston bay: ours is one of the most popular in the area. It is competitively priced and combines privacy, seclusion and cozy accommodation for a weekend get-away for busy working couples, honey-moon and anniversary couples either for short or extended stays. The panoramic views of Galveston Bay are exclusive to this property. We have operated this vacation rental for ten of the fifteen years we have lived here to rave (mostly five-star) reviews from locals and out-of-town travelers alike.
