No Commercial fishing! No Oyster Harvesting! Game warden will be notified if you do. To comply with VRBO rules the house does have non monitored security camera's on the exterior of the house (driveway, dock/backyard/deck) for the safety of our guests and to protect the property.
All the family had a great time. Everyone (including the little ones) enjoyed fishing, kayaking, and being close to the beach and downtown. Place is clean and the owners do a great job with providing everything you need for the stay. I've stayed here multiple times and have enjoyed every one of them.
We had a very fun time. Iâve been coming to this house with friends and family for years and we always have a great time fishing and hanging out. The owners are easy to communicate with and keep the house clean.
Weâve stayed here twice and it will always be our go-to property in Galveston. The outdoor space is absolutely perfect and the hosts are so easy to work with.
This is my 4th time staying at this house with the current owner and the place is great. The fishing is good from the dock, the house is clean and provides plenty of amenities. I will definitely be returning. I have recommended this place to a friend who stayed last year and will also return with his family. Thanks, Dwayne.
My entire family and I had lots of fun fishing off the dock and kayaking. The house is in a great location for everyone to have fun in Galveston. We will definitely rent here again.
Our extended family had a great time at this home. The downstairs area was perfect for the gaggle of kids and teens (they enjoyed the old school arcade games) and the main house had plenty of space for all to hang out and catch up. The dock was great for evening fishing and the house was really well equipped in every way. Close to town and beaches and the host was super responsive. Thanks for a great stay!
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.
Itâs the second time we have stayed at this property. The first was with kids and grandkids. Both stays was amazing. All the little details the host does to make you feel welcome is great. From the treats in the fridge and counter, to the fresh flowers, then the first aide kit all the way to a bowl of toiletries that you may have forgotten. Wonderful stay!
The property was perfect. Had more than enough room, plenty of games, and an arcade. Nice fishing pier everyone was very pleased. Certainly on our list of homes to return to in the future.
We are a large family and this place was perfect for our gathering. Super quite and easy access to the the seawall. We mostly relaxed and fished. Wish the porch had a gate to keep little ones from access to down stairs.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
First off- nothing I write here can describe our experience.
The hosts of this house Have went above and beyond in all areas.
The house is clean and top notch.
The host have every single thing you can think of in this house ti make your stay the best. Things you arrive with and realize you forgot.
The game room? It canât be beat! It entertained or little one and teens the entire time- they were never bored! Games , activities, art supplyâs , video games, arcade gamesâŠ. Endless fun!
Now for outside! 3 decks to choose from! All 3 have amazing views and seating to sit around and enjoy the day, relax or fish! The fishing was good, and lots of fun!! We enjoyed the kayaks one day and corn hole boards one evening while cooking out on the provided grills. The entire house has speakers - turn it on the Bob Marley station and enjoy the place! Itâs such a vibe đ When I tell you this is the best house we have stayed at I mean it. I would recommend this house a million times to anyone!!
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 âinâ 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 isnât quite big enough to cram 4 kids upstairs and someone start breakfast, otherwise weâd 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 didnât try to get in the water, but caught catfish, stingrays, flounder, etc!
We had a wonderful time at this beautiful home filled with entertainment for all! The kids had a blast downstairs with all of the video games and the house layout and seating on the porches provided everyone with adequate space to enjoy. If you enjoy fishing, this is a great spot, just grab some bait and hang out on the dock, you will catch many varieties of fish in varying sizes. As it pertains to the downstairs, don't get distracted that it does not connect inside, the house layout makes it feel connected.
My advice is to book this property and enjoy your time in Galveston.
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!!
