This place is outstanding! We really enjoyed our stay with the kids and grandkids. They really have everything you need here for kids and adults. The guys even caught a variety of fish and some were even big enough to keep. Would definitely book again, we absolutely loved our time here and didn't want to leave!! Thanks again for your hospitality!!

Everyone in our family (ages 7-39) enjoyed this place! Fishing was great from the dock. The kayaks were fun. The arcade games downstairs kept the kids happy. The only minor negative was not realizing the downstairs and upstairs were not connected. We made it work though. Overall very happy and would book here again.

We spent most of our time fishing or crabbing. Fishing under the lights at night was fun. We caught several trout. We never caught a legal speckled trout, but we did catch several. We caught enough crabs for a crab boil and my two adult sons had crab meat to take home. The video games were a great way to spend the day when it got too hot to fish and crab. The house had everything we needed. It was clean and the beds were comfortable. I will book this property again if we come back to Galveston.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here at this beach house! It was perfect for our family and friends to unwind and get in vacation mode prior to leaving on a cruise. Wish we had booked a couple more days. Perfect location for fishing, crabbing, kayaking, etc! Beautiful community to putt around in our rented golf cart too! Thank you Keith and Tina for sharing your home with us!

Fishing was awesome (mostly small). Caught trout, ladyfish, ribbonfish, piggy perch, drum, small reds, and a small ray. Used the crab traps for the first time and caught a few as well. Can't wait to come back.

The welcome note and chocolates were a really nice treat upon arrival. The upstairs of the house was great. The kitchen was very well stocked with utensils, pots and pans as well as spices. The appliances all worked perfectly including the ice maker in the fridge.
I typically am very thorough in reading reviews and researching on the house, but apparently I missed that the downstairs was completely disconnected from the upstairs. If you have teenagers it would work well, but for our 4,6, 9, and 10 year old it was a bit sketch. Being right on the water like we were, we had to come up with a way to lock the kids “in” at night. Luckily I had a baby monitor I was able to rig up to see all the kids. I would recommend the owner put a second electronic keypad downstairs on the front door at a minimum. The downstairs, while a super cool kid setup smelt REALLY bad of mildew and mold. We noticed one of the downstairs windows was broken with a heavy amount of mildew and mold growth in the inside. If they would fix that window and then do a deep clean it might not be so bad down there. Unfortunately the house isn’t quite big enough to cram 4 kids upstairs and someone start breakfast, otherwise we’d probably have done that. The video games and den setup were awesome for entertainment for them when the kiddos got tired of being outside for a bit though!
The outside setup was perfect. We didn’t try to get in the water, but caught catfish, stingrays, flounder, etc!

Great place for us, our adult children, our grandchildren, and our 83 yr old parents. Crabs and piggy perch for the little ones. All you need for entertainment on our weekend. Thanks for sharing your home!

The new owners have done an awesome job of fixing the place up and we really enjoyed the fishing and relaxing off the docks. There were plenty of cooking supplies and amenities. I will definitely be renting this place in the future and would recommend it to anyone.

Wonderfully stocked, beautifully furnished, fresh flowers and plants. Everything as expected, kayaking fun for the teens, great fishing for all (many trout, some catfish, a sting ray, and a few monsters that got away)
Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. Video games were fun when the wind was cold.
For the birders we saw, gulls, terns, ibis, cranes, whistling ducks, the osprey, cormorants, and many others.
Wonderful sunsets, lots of amazing decks, easy contact with host.
A wonderful spring break retreat.

Gorgeous home and property!
Our family stayed here since we were in town for our son's white coat ceremony at Moody Convention Center and wanted to stay close to the event. It is a gorgeous property! We didn't even go to the beach! We spent most of our time there, outside, on the two beautiful decks or one of the two outdoor patios. Lots of seating and relaxing space for everyone, kayaks that we used out in the bay several times, a large flat grassy lawn with a hammock, and a really fun down stairs area with several old school arcade games with lots of beds for everyone! It was my husband and I, our 5 kids ages 25, 23, 21, 19, 17, one of my son's girlfriends. The beds were all super comfortable, the house is beautifully decorated, the neighborhood was great-nice & quiet, and it's close enough to everything without being right there on the seawall with the noise and traffic. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and would love to stay again!

Annual Family Fourth of July
The property was everything we needed and more. Our four grandsons were entertained by the arcade games, kayaks and fishing. They spent less time on their phones than we can remember. The adults enjoyed the relaxing porches and pergolas as well as the comfortable bedrooms for rest and relaxing reading. The downstairs room was for the grandsons and upstairs for the adults. Thanks for a memorable weekend!

This place had everything we needed for a guy's fishing trip weekend. Video games, corn hole, fishing dock with lights, crab traps, kayaks, grills and everything you need in the kitchen. There are 3 beds/2 baths upstairs and 7 beds/1 bath downstairs so plenty of room. Just beware that downstairs has a low ceiling. Nobody in our group bumped their head but if you are tall, watch out. The house smelled like it had just been exterminated but we opened the doors up and it aired out quickly with the ocean breeze. We would definitely stay here again.

This home was perfect for our family getaway. We spent hours on the deck, enjoying the sun and fishing. We also liked the arcade games. The island was very nice, the ocean view beautiful and we had amazing weather. Thank you Keith for great communication and allowing us to rent your home. Again, it was wonderful!

Property was perfect for our family get together. The house was lovely with lots of amenities. Kitchen had anything we needed with ample utensils, cutlery, and numerous pots and pans. Beds were very comfortable. The outdoor space was great with and upper deck and 2 docks and nighttime fishing lights. The kids enjoyed the lower bunk room complete with video games and refrigerator. Kayaks and crab traps were another bonus.
We will definitely try to return during the summer to enjoy more fishing and beach time.

Had the house for 2 day to do some fishing with my neighbor’s. House was nice and had everything needed for the stay. The lower level has a pretty low ceiling so be cautious if your over 5’6. Caught a lot of small sand trout on the lights at night. Hope to come back for a longer stay in the future!

We had a great time. The house had everything we needed for cooking, grilling, and fishing off the deck was a great experience. We caught a ton of fish, no keepers, but it was enough action to keep everyone excited. The place was extremely clean and the location was in great proximity to everything we needed. We would definitely stay their again.
