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 Galveston
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
Please don't read this positive review
I loathe writing this review. See, the home is wonderful and the more people who read this positive review will want to vacation here and that means less of a chance to get a reservation. It is a conflicting situation.
The home is enjoyable, inviting and relaxing. We've stayed on Galveston many times and have seen a broad spectrum of rentals. This home is at the top of the list.
Here are the reasons you will want to stay here:
1) Close to the beach. Whether you walk the block to the dune walkway in the resort or drive down the street to the public beach, it is very close.
2) The decks. The home features 2 decks and I must tell you they are both sensational. The top deck is just perfect. The views are outstanding and the breeze from the water is sensational. The fountain on the resort property turns on at 8am and off at 10pm; yes, much time was spent on the deck.
3) The air conditioning is incredible. If you are concerned about staying cool in the summer, please don't. The AC system is top notch and works flawlessly.
4) Location. It was our first time on the west end and we loved it. It is quiet and relaxed. Yes, Walmart and Starbucks are about 30 minutes away, but the local grocery stores have what you need.
5) The layout. The home is laid out with a bedroom on the main floor and 2 more on the second floor. The living, dining and kitchen are in an open area arrangement. It all works great. When you are upstairs you don't hear anything downstairs.
6) Resort dining. We didn't avail ourselves of any resort amenities, but we did order carryout from the resort restaurant a few times. It is fantastic. There is no elevator to the restaurant, so be prepared to climb three sets of stairs.
7) The owner. Terry is communicative and responsive!
Here are a few things we noted about our stay:
1) King sized bed in master would have been nice.
2) If you like spices when cooking bring your own. It is like other rentals, so just a reminder. If you forget, local grocery stores sell everything.
3) There is a trick for washing the large plates in the dishwasher ... tilt them from the side.
4) On Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays during the summer, get your cooler ice from the stores early or the night before. Lesson learned.
This home is a gem and one we cannot wait to stay at again. Please don't take the days we want ...
Great Location, clean properties with awesome amenities, and excellent beach.
We loved the property, proximity to the beach, and the amenities offered. However, at the end of a long day at the beach we all plopped down in front of the TV to watch a movie and....nothing. Come to find out the receiver on the dish was completely rusted off and hanging loose. So, no TV. I will admit we did not bring this to the owner’s attention during our short stay, but he was very responsive and helpful when called about logging into WiFi. Would still definitely recommend.
Perfect Family Get-Away!
Walking in the door everything looked exactly as it was pictured. Enjoying the house was a big part of our vacation; we enjoyed relaxing on the covered decks and spending time in the open living area. The house had nice views and was a short walk to the beach. Cruising in our golf cart was a fun part of enjoying the resort and pools. The Lazy River and Beach House made for fun late afternoon activities after spending time at the beach. Galveston Island will be a place we will return and we will always plan to stay at Kathy’s Kottage. Great memories!
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.
