About Terry Hinze
My entire family are native Houstonians and lifelong visitors to Galveston island. We had tried for years to find the right spot for us in Galveston. We discovered and fell in love with Pointe West Resort in 2007, but the home prices were too steep. Then in late 2009 Pointe West prices came back to Earth. We found Kathy's Kottage in March 2010.
Terry Hinze purchased this House in 2010
Why Terry Hinze chose Red Fish Cove
We actually were meeting our Realtor to look at a foreclosure across the street from Kathy's Kottage. At the last minute we decided to take a look at this house. The minute we walked upstairs to the master suite and saw the view, we simultaneously said, 'We'll take it!' Best decision we ever made.
What makes this House unique
The views from Kathy's Kottage are to die far. In the mornings when I get up to make coffee, I have to bring my wife coffee in bed and open the blinds for her. She just wants to drink her coffee and take it all in before ever getting up. Come try it for yourself.

ABSOLUTLEY WONDERFUL
The home was very nice and in a perfect location. Very roomy and comfortable for my family of 10. We had never visited Galveston before and this home and location met all of our expectations and more. Everything you need is right there. the Hospitality the owner showed was amazing. We will be repeat customers.
Thank you for allowing us to make lifelong memories.
Vicki and her gang
Vicki and her family are exactly the type of guests we try to cater to at Kathy's Kottage - full family with kids. Her interest before arrival allowed us to give suggestions which in turn helped make her family vacation even better. Great thing Vicki, there is so much to do in Galveston that you guys can come back and continue to explore more new fun places. Oh, and don't forget to ask about the discount that returning guests receive.

Beautiful home, clean and inviting. Highly recommended
My family’s stay at Kathy’s Kottage for 3 days of Spring Break 2018 was wonderful. The Property is well kept, clean and inviting. Terry was quick to respond to a question I had. This home did not disappoint. It was perfect for my in-laws who traveled in from Louisiana, my 6 yo twin boys and my Mother and me. The walk through the quiet community to the beach was manageable for my mother age 93 and the views form the double back porches were lovely. The option of accessing the Beach Club facilities ( about 1 mile a way ) was an advantage! My busy kids enjoyed a few hours at the pool and the Lazy River. The home itself was spacious enough for 4 adults and 2 busy children. I really appreciated supply of bath towels, extra blankets, having a washer and dryer on site and such a tidy kitchen with sufficient pots/plates/ cups and utensils. There were even a few unbreakable plates and cups for those with little ones! We all enjoyed ourselves and would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a care-free beach break.
I keep coming back!
I love Galveston and love staying in Kathy's Kottage! The owner is always very helpful.
Great!
Cutest house with plenty of room! The pointe west community was amazing as well. We loved the pools!
Back to KK again!
Our favorite get away in Galveston.
