Me and my family came down to Freeport for a few days! This was a good location, especially if you like to go crabbing and fishing. Best part is you can do it right outside the house and you donât have to leave. Our host Charles, was very friendly and answered any and all questions I had.
It was a enjoyable place to stay! The kids enjoyed catching crabs. We enjoyed the short walk to the beach. We enjoyed cooking on the grill every evening and enjoying the views. Everything we needed was provided.
Beautiful place. Host had great communication and allowed us to check in as early as possibly. Had so much fun fishing right off the deck. Lots of blue crabs and the view was absolutely beautiful. Many memories made here and will definitely back.
The property itself, the location is amazing. On the water with great views and access to big water is easy. The home itself is clean and very comfortable upstairs. There's also some extra bedroom downstairs. We actually accidentally cracked the stove top and the owner was quick to respond and gracious. I real pleasure to work with and took care of everything for us.
Everything was great. Had an ant problem but the owner was quick to respond and get the situtation taken care of.Very peaceful area. Very short distance to the beach.Our grandson loved catching fish and crab.
Did not find out until Saturday night before Monday check in that power was restored. Tried to cancel with owner and get refund but he would not give. Only recourse was stay or rebook . We received email from VRBO on Saturday saying would be no issues if cancelled but they were no help with owner. He was firm come or rebook no refund!!!We had conflicting schedules so we had to go. Arrived On Tuesday and left on Saturday. Beach was closed until Friday but owner said they were open all the time. Trash and mosquitoes everywhere in abundance. Ice maker did not work and gas grill did not work. Bedroom on ground floor smelled so bad no one could stay in it only used for storage. Owner did give access to ice machine in his locked area.We thought VRBO had more input when using their site to rent vacation rental.Owner did call several times.
4th of July Family Trip At Margarita Sunset on the Canal!
What an incredible home & owner!!
Our 16 year old loved her private room on the bottom of the beach house.
The kids room very comfortably slept all 4 of our younger ones. And the masters suite was pefect for us.
The views from the deck were breath taking!!
The canal, the lower deck and the fresh air and breeze from the palm trees is something we will always think about! Pure perfection.
Also the beautiful 2 pergolas on the upper decks made for the best morning and evening conversations. The staircases leading to the decks are also perfect with a gate you can secure at night.
Bring your fishing rods as it has perfect access to the water. And the beach was a quick one minute drive across the road with free beach parking access.
Very painless booking, check-in and check-out.
We will be rebooking at Charles' house.
Its gorgeous inside and out and was perfect for our blended family of 7. We made memories to last an entire life-time. I will be thinking about the margarita sunsets for a long time!!
This is in the perfect location; right next to the boat slip. Close to beaches, town, and restaurants. Galveston and the historical pier are right up the road. The host of this property was amazing, quick with response to all needs. My family and I had a great time fishing and crabbing right off the back dock, exploring and beaching. I highly recommend this property for your next getaway. A+!
The location was perfect with a great view of the sunset. The property was clean inside and out. Caught a few crabs and some fish. The property is literally 1 min from a public beach. Will stay again
This was our second stay at the house and once again we had a great time. House located down a quiet street but the beach is about 300 yards away. Charles has always been very responsive to answer any questions. We will be back!
Everyone enjoyed the stay. Great location, quiet and peaceful. Beautiful sunrise and sunsets with a constant breeze on the deck and by the dock. Rented Kayaks to fish Christmas Bay but the winds made it difficult. We didn't catch any fish, but we caught several Blue Crab right along the dock. Also caught a huge Stone Crab but had to release it since it only had one claw. The description needs a minor update and the small upstairs bathroom smelled bad on arrival, that was solved when a dirty wet rag was found and discarded. The downstairs room had a slight unknown chemical smell. The place could use some updates due to the salt water air. There is a loose board on the dock which needs to be secured. The board teter toters when you step on the end. We had no issues which would of caused us to contact the owner or maintenance. Beach access is straight across the Blue Water Highway where you can drive to your spot, park and enjoy. The beach was very clean. The location is great with easy access to the beach and Christmas Bay. The TPWD boat ramp is a short walk away especially if you have a boat or kayaks. All in all, we enjoyed our stay.
My family really enjoyed staying here. There was so much to do! My 11 year old daughter fished for the first time in her life and caught a fish on her very first cast! We caught crabs off the doc (some good sized blue crabs and I think a stone crab). We were able to rent kayaks (kayak rental company delivered to the house). This place is great for pets - our dog loved her walks on the beach. Getting food was easy - we ordered delivery from the HEB in Freeport. On thing that really stood out and is undersold in the listing - the birds! We saw lots of birds that I have never seen before in my life - and right from the comfort of the house - you can watch them for hours - they put on a good show! Owner is very responsive and helpful. House itself was clean and in good working order. Beds were comfortable. Highly recommend!
We had a blast! The house was nice and the photos in the listing give an accurate depiction. The kids caught a meals worth of keeper crabs off the dock. Caught fish in the bay and on the surf. That is a great beach and only about a 5 minute walk. Downstairs shower was very convenient! Most important things to me on a coast house - good AC & good water pressure in the shower and both boxes were checked. We'd love to come back here!
We had a fabulous time!! We took kayaks and loved being able to paddle the bay when not at the beach. We also took our golf cart. I was nice for going to the beach. This property had everything we needed!
Nice property. Facilities and accommodations were as described. Quiet area. There were some adjacent early morning boaters loading boats into the water and fishermen, but we never disturbed by them.
We enjoyed our stay. House had everything and the location was perfect. We took advantage of the kayaks and did some wade fishing. Owners respond quickly and the neighbors to our left were beyond amazing.
Excellent location by canal and Christmas bay with easy access to the water. Separate enough from the public access area. Short drive to the beach (2 min). Well maintained and well stocked house with plenty of space and lovely decks for watching the sunrise/sunset. Would definitely recommend staying here.
Disappointed in the 3rd "bedroom" . Just bunk beds, shower/toilet and laundry in a converted storage area. Maybe a hideaway for teens, but not suited as a separate room for a 3rd family.
The property was beautiful and being at the end of the street gave us more privacy. It was fully stocked and we had everything we needed. The owner was super nice and easy to communicate with. The views were stunning. This truly has the Margarita Sunset.
Met here with friend for kayak fishing. Perfect property for our needs. Kayak launch immediately next door and two more just a few minutes down road. Stunning views of Christmas Bay and can even see beach from porches. Very clean, everything worked, easy check in and check out, great communication with owner. Would definitely stay here again!
As a Houston native that now lives in Colorado, I felt a calling to renovate and make this house a beautiful get away. I hope you all enjoy this property as much as I have over the years.
This is a point lot on one of the best fishing areas on the Galveston coast line. Boat access from your private dock to Christmas Bay, Bastrop Bay, Intercostal Canal, West Bay, San Luis Pass, and the Gulf of Mexico. It offers the beach and the bay right next to each other. Boat ramp 100 feet from the house. Catch Redfish, Trout, Flounder and Crabs.
The wade fishing at the Beach and Christmas Bay right out your back door is outstanding and when your finished the sunsets are to die for!!! Park you boat at your back door on your private dock. Incredible sea and coastal bird watching.
