What Guests Are Saying
“A great place to relax and fish. We just had an unfortunate weather so the fishing was limited, but we still had a great time.”
“Great! We will book again.”
“Been here second time. Really awsome a lot of room with reasonable price. Great place to fish but I just have A recommendation. There is a lot of crab so I hope you guy can provide a crap trap under the dock or let us rented a trap.”
“Beautiful place, quick responding. Feel like home”
“Great fishing spot”
“The house is great and as described. AC is good and cold, kitchen is clean and well stocked. We love the location, there’s fishing light to attract fish, the view is breathtaking. We definitely would stay again.”
“Great place to stay right along Galveston Bay. The dock was perfect if you’re wanting somewhere to cast a line and fish. Home was very clean and had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable. Check-in and checkout were a breeze. Most laid back checkout list I’ve ever had staying in an Airbnb. Host was also very quick to respond all hours of the day. Can’t recommend this place enough. 10/10 would stay here again.”
“The property is in a great location. Very clean and well maintained.”
“Our party of 6 adult siblings (ages 35-55) had a wonderful 4-night stay. Check-in and checkout were both easy, and the house was impeccably clean upon arrival. The beds and furniture were comfortable, there was plenty of space both inside and outside, and having a private fishing dock was a great bonus. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed to cook, all appliances worked perfectly, and even the pots and pans were in good condition.A note for anyone with mobility concerns: the exterior stairs up to the house are a bit steep, and the interior stairs to the second floor are even narrower and steeper. Two bedrooms and a full bathroom are located on that second floor, so it's worth planning accordingly if your group includes older adults or anyone with mobility issues. This wasn't an issue for us, but it's worth knowing in advance.One more thing to flag: if total privacy is important to you, this may not be the right fit. The house sits quite close to another (bigger) house, and that home's two balconies partially overlook the downstairs sitting area of the rental. Halfway through our stay, two families with a lot of kids arrived next door, and for the rest of the trip we dealt with being watched from the balconies, kids yelling down at us, and even a half-eaten pizza tossed into our yard. Not a dealbreaker, but definitely an unwelcome distraction on what was meant to be an adults-only getaway. We would still book this house again.”
