We had a great visit. Loved going down to the end of the pier to fish. So much fun! The elevator was wonderful. The host/owner answered questions immediately and was very kind. Much appreciated. Thank you for sharing your place with people. Cindy
Awesome property we really enjoyed the view and the fishing! We really appreciate the elevator it was a huge plus since I had my 86 yr old mom with me. Beautiful place we will definitely be staying here again!
The owners were so kind and accommodating for us ,the home was clean and very comfortble.We spent a week here and wish we never had to leave.There are plenty of cooking utensils and pots pans ,bowls dishes .Our stay was perfect besides the rain and wind ,we can't wait to go back
This was our 2nd time at this bay house. We love the property and surrounding areas. Restaurants and fishing are great. The elevator is awesome if you can't do stairs.
Great fishing, clean property, close to grocery stores and shopping, and the elevator made mobility limited guest experience a non issue.
We will be coming back we were so pleased with this experience and location!
My wife and I stay for four days. It was a very nice and clean house. Elevator was a major plus!! Boat lift works great we did not have to keep it in the water over night. Fishing was great off the pier. We killed the speckle trout during the day and under the lights off the pier. The neighborhood is very quiet. I would highly recommend This property for nice getaway on the bay.
Just wanted to pass along that I really enjoyed staying at the lovely bayhouse of owners Ken and Carol in early August. They both met me at check-in at the property and were incredibly nice and hospitable. Ken really went above and beyond as a host and was always attentive and responsive when I had questions.
Ken also provides fantastic local restaurant and bait shop recommendations (Hillmanâs). Ken also steered me to my top seafood meal of my 4-day stay which was the Flounder Special at Pacific Seafood. Normally, that is their special discounted dish on Fridays for 19.99, but I visited on a Saturday and they agreed to make it for me for 21.99 instead of the Friday special of 19.99, which I appreciated. This Flounder version is different than the 23 dollar Flounder option listed on their menu so I would recommend asking them if they could make the Friday Flounder special version and you wonât regret it. Yum yum!
I had a blast fishing off the very nice fishing pier. I caught lots of numbers and had tons of bites but I didnât run into any sizable fish. I tried artificial lures but they hands down liked the bait shrimp on ice from Hillmanâs bait shop the best. About an hour and a half before dark all the way until dark, I had a bite on seemingly every cast, but I wouldnât recommend using too large of a hook because they are sneaky and will try and get the shrimp before you can react or set the hook.
All in all, I had a great time and kept the elevator in motion during my trip!
The Bayhouse is all you could wish for in a San Leon getaway. It is attractive, clean, comfortable, well-appointed, well-managed and in a good location. Janet was so helpful checking us in, and Ken, the owner, promptly answered all questions. We would love to return.
We had a wonderful time fishing off the amazing dock. Definitely a great spot for some quite family time. Thank you for sharing your home. We will be back!
My husband and friend loved fishing off pier.
Me and my friend went shopping in Galveston and outlet mall. The house is prefect for a vacation and will be back again.
Thanks again Rickey & Debbie
We had a great time at the property and took full advantage of it to relax and fish. We loved the dock and late night fishing as a family. Great place to stay!
This bay house has been a treasure of the family for three generations. It has weathered several big storms and hurricanes and has been rebuilt and re-modeled more than once. Many joyful family and friend gatherings have occurred here. Use of this property is restricted to only those individuals renting the property, at a maximum of 6 occupants, and not to be used for large events. Additional visitors are prohibited. Violators will be asked to leave and there will be no refund of any money for the time remaining on the reservation.
Since the last major hurricane the house has been elevated to the new flood elevation. The new height created a even more fantastic view of the waterfront. While sitting on the deck for your morning coffee you can watch the sunrise over the water and see the coastline all the way to Galveston island. Great views for picture taking.
