Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The house is set up very well as a "fish camp." The canal lot was perfect for our boat. The boat lift we expected to use didn't work, but we were easily able to anchor to the dock. The downstairs area was set up very well - fish cleaning station, picnic table and gas grill were great. Even better - the storage room included three separate appliances - a deep freezer for your catch, a side by side fridge/freezer for drinks and food, and a mini-fridge for bait.
Upstairs, the rooms were comfortable and clean. They all included smart TVs, which is great.
There are a few things to be aware of:
*None of the bedrooms have an attached bathroom.
*There is no access to the "deck" bedroom from the house...you have to go out the front door to get into that room.
*Kitchen is small, no dishwasher. Pots, pans, etc. were adequate. Could use a larger pot for crab/shrimp boils, etc.
*There are no food prep knives - only a handful of cheap steak knives. I ended up using my husband's pocket knife to chop onions.
*Come prepared with toilet paper and paper towels. The house only included the TP that was already on the roll.
*There are no nearby grocery stores...we had to cross the toll bridge to get to the Seven Seas grocery, about 10 miles from the house.
Overall, a good stay, especially if you plan to fish.

Location was great, house was clean and nice. Only issue we had on our stay was home did not have any type cleaning supplies for accidents that can occur. Ac barely kept up may need some attention. Propane for grill was empty and limited dishes. I did speak with owner and he was good to deal with and said he was going to handle all the issues so that is a plus. I would stay again for the fisherman it was well equipped with all our needs. I might recommend updating the patio furniture. But as whole owner was great and was worth the money we spent.

The house is as advertised and my family had a great time fishing off the dock and catching quite a bit of blue crab. The only recommendations would be to replace the fan in the outside bedroom as it is pretty worn, probably due to humidity and a few of the crab traps are pretty worn as well. Other than that it is a great property to stay in!

This house is amazing! Very beautiful inside and out! We have stayed at several houses and KNOTTY PINE is by far our favorite! The beds were very comfortable and the showers had good water pressure. Fishing dock was very nice as well. The owner was very quick to respond to a few questions we had. If you choose to stay at Knotty Pine, you will Not be disappointed!

This property is in great proximity to the pass and Chocolate Bay. The home itself was clean and generally nice.
I would mention that the back left bedroom needs some work done on the windows allowing air to come in when there are high winds. It can become very loud and annoying. The bathroom with the shower in the house has a strange configuration and a tiny sink. The home has no dishwasher or disposal as well. The pots and pans have seen better days.
The freezers downstairs are a nice perk and the grill worked fine as well.
In conclusion, I believe you get what you pay for this property. The owner was easily accessible and responsive to our needs.

The good: House is very cute and well maintained. Great location in Freeport too. Host was very responsive and helpful too.
Suggested improvements: Let guests know, explicitly, that host provides nothing other than paper towels and toilet paper (e.g.coffee, keurig pods, sponge, etc) would be helpful to know before you get to the house and there are zero stores close by to get such items once you get there. Also, listing says kitchen has everything needed for basic cooking and not exactly accurate. Recommend taking an inventory and retiring items that are not up to par anymore and adding things like spatulas, cookie sheets, baking dishes, kitchen towels, etc. Basic welcome touches like having towels in the bathrooms would be nice too. All relatively minor things that would make a difference

This was a great place for us to stay. The home was warm and well appointed. As far as amenities they had everything you could think of. Could stand some more kitchen pots and pans but other than that they had everything you could think of. It was nice to go down and fish right off the backyard and walk across the road and fish. Such an amazing time would definitely rent again.

Very clean, updated property. View from both sides, canal and bay, were awesome. Fishing was great. Highly recommend.

We enjoyed our stay very much. We were going to fish, but saw that neighbors were not catching anything - so we changed our mind and instead went into Galveston several times. The property is very relaxing. VERY LITTLE NOISE! Which is just what we were looking for. We needed to fully unplug and that is what we did. We chose to sleep out in what I call the "Cedar Room" because the master bedroom bed was just too hard for our liking. It was nice to have the washer/dryer (which we always look for) however, we did not need it. Had we fished, the added convenience of the bait fridge and live bait barrel would have been great. We noted that as a PLUS! The neighborhood was nice as well during our evening walks and communication with the owner was very easy. While we were going to bring our little Yorkie - which we were SO HAPPY to be able to do so... she unfortunately passed away (she was quite old) and we did not bring her. But it is nice to have a property that accommodates pets.

The house is very nice and clean. The AC went out near the end of our stay and we had to cut our trip short by one day. The owner was very responsive and refunded our money that day. I would stay here again. The house is on the canal and we enjoyed fishing. and hanging out with family

Awesome rental
Thanks to Jeremy and his wife for a great stay. Did have a few minor issues at the beginning of our stay . Some were no fault of Jeremy, no electricity upon check in, but the rest Jeremy took care of immediately. Definitely would stay again.

It really is perfect. There are so many details and thought put into this property in addition to the AMAZING views.
You can tell it was recently remodeled and overhauled with new everything! The beds are super comfortable, linens and decor are gorgeous, and amenities are plentiful.
Fishing was out of this world FROM OUR OWN BACK DOCK (crab, catfish, trout and even an American Eel!), local seafood establishments are delicious and friendly, and there is a private beach at the entrance of the neighborhood! The private beach was so secluded with the best seashells and crabs walking around!
I was so cozy that for the first time I wasn't homesick being away from home.
Relax in the less touristy, beach fishing paradise here. This house has a lifetime visitor. Thanks to the owners for putting together a beautiful place for all to enjoy.

Property was very clean, well manicured surroundings and newly furnished. Decor was soothing and everything was perfect! We had everything we needed. Even things we forgot! Close to the beach and we caught fish in the canal. We stayed up most of the night because the location is very safe! The kids had a great time fishing! There’s a place for everyone. The teens had their space, the little kids had theirs and the adults and older adults too! Wow! It was a perfect vacation!

We had serious sewer/toilet problems. The location is nice for what we came to do, which is enjoy family fish and crab. I was told when i got there I shouldn’t be fishing off the back pier with a weight, which is not listed in the property rules. There was only one toilet semi working. Called the “maintenance” which said he was fishing and would come when he could. Had to call again. It smelled very bad of sewer around the property and realize the back flow pipe drains into the canal. Other than that the property was clean. The a/c i don’t believe works properly and the only one bathroom we could use i was told not to shut the door for to long. I have stayed at many different properties in galveston and i don’t believe this property is worth the price. I was disappointed.

The house is big enough for a family of 8. We expend a lot of time fishing and picking crabs in the canal . The property is well maintained and perfectly clean. The property owner was very responsive when we needed him, which is appreciate it.
But, one bathrooms was under construction and not usable at the time and one of the bedrooms is only accessible from the deck. I think more details are needed on the listing.
Overall, we have a wonderful time and really enjoy the house and the sunsets from the deck.
