Love everything about this house! Such a great getaway from the busy noisy world. My boys loved fishing, crabbing and taking the kayak out. The ladies loved the beach and sun bathing on the deck! Just a peaceful location! Making memories is our favorite and we have made so many at this house!

We had fun 4 days! The house is in a quiet community away from all the hype of the sea wall. We enjoyed spending some time in Galveston we were ready to head back to the house for dinner and a nice evening at the house. Lots of entertainment for all to enjoy. We enjoyed fishing and relaxing with a movie.

Quietly nestled near San Louis Pass, great fishing right off back deck! Enjoyed the quiet getaway!
5.0
Great house, huge deck, great fishing and very friendly neighbors. Overall, a 10 out of 10!
The only recommendations I would have for future visitors who fish would be:
-The closest bait shop with live bait is about 12 miles away so if you want to go fishing early make sure you pick up live bait the night before
-Fishing in the canal behind the house is decent, but going to the dock on 1st street is much better
-Bring mosquito spray
-Wear reef boots while fishing on the shore because of the oyster reefs

Family memories to last a lifetime
We loved our week here. The home was as described. The neighbors were so friendly. There was one kayak but we brought some with us as well. My gang loved taking the kayaks to the mouth of the canal to catch flounder and we even saw dolphins a few times. The kids enjoyed fishing and catching crabs from the dock.
Customer Service was wonderful!! There were a few road bumps but the owner was on top of it! First, the brand new dryer did not work when we got there but a maintenance man was called out the same day and the owner made sure to tend to that so we could still go about our way and enjoy our stay. Second, we lost power due to a lightning strike and she kept us updated with the information from the electrical company until power was back on.

Overall everything was nice. We were told multiple times we would have access to the boat lift and were told the night before it wasn't available. My sister was allowing us to borrow her bay boat since they had a lift but wouldn't let us wet dock it so the main reason we got a bay house instead of a beach house was lost. Told at 3 different intervals we would have lift, 1st payment, 2nd payment, and then week before check in. There were some other issues but the owners quickly came over and fixed but still didn't move their boat like they told me they would. We have other family that have a house there too so we just went out on their boat so all wasn't lost but 99% of the people aren't going to have that luxury. My wife is probably glad I didn't have a boat so I didn't fish as much but if you are going to this great fishing spot and want a lift take note.

This was a wonderful experience and something different for our New Year celebration. The house was clean, well-stocked with essential kitchen/bathroom items, and comfy. Both AC and heat worked great! It was 80 degrees the first 2 days and 40 our last 2 days. Thank you so much for a great mini vacation.

Loved our stay. Only a couple of things ants were a pest! Had to keep all food in fridge unless it was sealed. My husband and I needed to work and the WiFi never ended up working. Only other things air mattress have slow leaks and could not figure out water outside it worked sometimes and sometimes it did not. None of this would not make me want to stay there again. Loved all the family’s we saw in the canal.

We had a good time fishing, kayaking and going to the beach. We were disappointed that there was no washer/ dryer for clothes and no shade while trying to eat dinner at the picnic table.

It was a good stay.Everything listed on the property details match up except the following.. I would suggest taking pictures of all the rooms. The sizes are misleading. I could have sworn there were a total of 4 rooms detailed but only three in fact. I went to check and see if the couch was a pull out and found a pair of underwear and a switch blade. Yuck! No music outside after 9 or in house period, that was extreme we thought as most people go to the beach to have a good time. Washer and dryer was shown and we assumed we could wash our beach clothes but found a sign that said only if needed and didn't even work. Other than that it was a good stay.
