“Very spacious house. A little outdated but was very clean and comfortable. Pretty good fishing too. Overall, a great value for bayfront house. Would definitely stay here again.”

“Had a good time. Beautiful sunset. House was clean. Boards on deck were replaced so no problems there as in previous reviews.”

“Good”

“We have stayed here before and we just love it!”

“You want to stay here I promise! Positive: The house is absolutely gorgeous. The bayfront out of every back window was simply amazing. There was enough room for my entire family and then some I could sit in that cowboy pool and look out at the bay every day for the rest of my life. This place is simply astonishing beautifully decorated and very clean. The kitchen came with just about everything you would need even a waffle iron and a crockpot. They supplied brand new bath towels for all four bathrooms soap, shampoo conditioner everything you would need. It was a touchless entry. We didn’t have to talk to anybody and after a long drive we got there super early. We were just able to grab the key out of the box and go in the house which was very convenient. This will be the only place I stay in Galveston from now on. Negative: Everything was great. We had an issue with the past tenants taking off with the key for the big pool, but the host worked diligently and got me a key before the end of my vacation. They simply rock.”

“Very enjoyable place to stay with a large family.”

“Will be booking again”

“this is a nice place but if you have handicapped or young children there are a lot of stairs to get to the rooms so please be aware also there are no restaurants or coffee shops nearby everything is 30 minutes away which was fine with me I absolutely love the place because of the rear elevation with the fishing accessibility and that's really what I used it for so if you are there to fish then you are in a great spot although you won't catch anything big but it is fun I do recommend going to the corner store and pick up Frozen Bait Mullet”

“Fue una estadía increíble nuestro viaje fue para celebrar mi cumpleaños y el de mi hermano menor y nos sentimos cómo en casa. Mis padres descansaron y mis hijos amaron la comodidad, la diversión en la piscina y la vista q ofrece el mirador. Gracias Sam por tenerte una casa tan bonita.”

“The house was great!! We had a blast fishing off the back and will definitely be coming back for more fishing. We caught black drum, flounder, redfish, speckled trout, and croaker. Had ample room for everyone. Host was very communicative and helpful. ”

“We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful house on Galveston Island. It was just what we needed to relax. The fishing from the dock was fun as well. If it was warmer we would have taken advantage of the pool.”

“We had a great family time! ”

“Very clean. Great communication and excellent location.”

“Great home with great deck! We had a lot of fun fishing. The communication from the host was amazing! They were available at nearly every hour of the day and responses were so prompt (replied within minutes!). Instructions for check-in and check-out were very clear and detailed, and the reminders and offers throughout the trip were very helpful. Wonderful hosts. AC/heat worked well. Neighborhood was very nice and quiet. A few downsides:- There were no towel hangers or toilet paper roll holder in multiple bathrooms (made using the restroom somewhat inconvenient).- Some parts of the deck were worn/damaged making parts of the deck unstable- The house was clean for the most part, but there were some spots that had clearly not been cleaned in a while or were not properly cleaned (especially the pantry)- Since we visited in the wintertime, we would’ve liked thicker blankets. There were only thin blankets availableThese are just minor things that could easily be fixed, and didn't have a major impact on our trip. Overall rating: 4.5/5! Would definitely stay again!”

“Location , plenty of room. Very homey ”

“Positive: Location Negative: Nothing”

“Highly host ”

“Awesome property and plenty of space.”

“Great, large house with outstanding views of the sunset. Several decks to enjoy the beauty of the water/bay. Fish right outside the back door!! Plenty of room and everything you need. We would stay again!”

“Amazing property, with amazing views. ”

“The view was amazing! This place worked out for our family. We were close but had plenty of room to be away from each other. Lots of places to go relax and enjoy the sunset. ”

“We love to book again”

“Nice place, we spent lots of time fishing from the deck. We will come back again. ”

“The house was in a perfect place! Unfortunately we made it in after 8 PM, but other than that it was a great experience, the kitchen & the whole house was very spacious and very clean. We really enjoyed the view and our friends had a good time grilling just a relaxing time. We’ll go back in the near future. ”

“We had a great stay and truly enjoyed our time! The house was the perfect size for our group of 16, plenty of space for everyone. It was clean and well-kept. We did notice a few roaches during our stay, but given the home’s location right by the water, that was understandable. It seemed like they came in from outside, especially since we saw some near the pier as well. Overall, we had a pleasant experience. Just a heads-up: there aren’t many stores nearby, so plan ahead and bring what you need!”

“We’ve stayed here before and just like last time, it was great! Fishing is great here too, which is the main reason we booked Sam’s place again! Sam was very responsive!”

“This is my sixth time staying at this place. If you like fishing, I can assure you that this is the best place. You can catch all kinds of fish you can imagine on the backyard deck. The view of the sunset from the second floor of the deck is really beautiful. Highly recommended!”

“We had a wonderful time at this house. It was a great place for the family. The fishing was outstanding, especially at night under the lights.”

“This is my fifth stay at this place. Great host, very prompt response. The room was very clean. The deck fishing location is excellent. There are also lots of crabs. I will find time to stay at this place again.”

“A mouse was found in the room and it got into my shoe. For the next few days I was worried about whether another mouse would get into the shoe. Worry about rats destroying food. This is my third time staying at this place. The first two times were good. This time it made me feel bad. I contacted the landlord, who responded quickly and said he would do pest control. Hope they will take care of it and not affect the experience of other guests.”

“I really enjoyed staying Sam's place. Sam always responded quickly, and also proactively checked on me. they added more bathroom compared to last year! I loved it! so I can stay with my friends without any complaints of privacy lol. Squeaky beds were entertaining at night. overall, I would like to stay again!!!!! Thank you, Sam!”

“Sam does the good job. thank you so much will be back.”

“This was a great house. Plenty of room, privacy, and space for large families. The location is beautiful. We caught a lot of fish, kayaked around the bay, and walked to the beach. The home is very private and quiet. The space was perfect for our family. The dock was perfect for fishing and relaxing. I would definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for an extended stay at a place you can fish all day, everyday.”

“Great place. I get multiple air bnbs in the galveston area yearly and this was one of my favorites. I will definitely be coming back.”

“Great place, great location away from the riff raff!”

“This is my second stay at this house. Every experience has been great. Of the many houses to live in in Galveston, this location is the best. Our family loves fishing very much. This is the best place for fishing. I will stay here again. highly recommended.”

“The house and the location are great. Everything is good except couple things. We really enjoyed the trip and thank you for having us. Sincerely”

“everything was great, home had alot of full size beds and space. kitchen was very big and spaces, had a lot of cooking supplies to use. the patios frm top to bottom is phenomenal. Had boat keys couldn't find the boat, but didn't need it cuz of the ocean view and dock that was provided in the back. beautiful sunset viewing and sunrise. No complaints......other than the toilet handle broke, garage door on right side is off the tracks so doesn't open, but again enjoy ourselves very much...highly recommend”

“Had a great time loved the view and home was nice .”

“Great views of the sunset and shining moonlight over the bay, modern and spacious home in a quiet community.”

“Wow, this is the dream house for anyone who wants to get away from the city. Fabulous view of the ocean, sturdy two levels of deck, spacious balcony, and great fishing. The house is extremely clean! I can't wait to go back for my next vacation!”

“The place was perfect to spend time with my friends! Everyone enjoyed staying there! :) bedrooms were all clean and neat! Kitchen was full with useful appliances. And Sam was very good with communicating! I hope to come back next year.”

“We really enjoyed staying there. it was very nice and clean.”

“Great water front house and at a great location. Lots of space, clean, and decorated beautifully and stylishly. We enjoyed the view from the windows and the decks. We are looking forward to coming back again.”

“Positive: The space, communication from host and location were wonderful. Negative: There were somethings broken in the home before we arrived. I wish we had time to do a walk thru. There were somethings we noticed after a couple of hours of being there. They weren't big issues but enough that we could have been held accountable for damage we did not do. Providing a walk thru form for guest to check off each room would've been helpful. Otherwise we loved the place.”

“The view is incredible ”

“This is a complicated review. Sam was very responsive, and when we saw that the pool was half empty and dirty, he sent someone to fix it immediately. However, I feel like the house needs to be closed down for severe maintenance. Blinds were broken, mold in windows, light bulbs were out, balconies did not feel safe, some roaches (the small dirty, not the seasonal Texas ones), dishes were sticky, floors were dirty and sticky, banisters appeared dirty, pool was not maintained, and house had an odor. The house has great potential. It almost feels like the owner may own a few houses and has a cleaning crew but never goes to the house himself. The cleaning crew seems like they only do the bare minimum. So the all that being said, we all slept well and the house is overall comfortable. It was not worth the money we paid. We splurged to celebrate a birthday, and would never have spent this much. It was very disappointing for the money.”

“Everything is a little bit older than what's shown in the picture. But, I am not saying its bad, just little bit older. A lot of mosquitoes outside you should prepare something for that. And need to change some of the mattresses. By the way, We had really good time, specially You can see the most beautiful sunset in Galveston. Fishing , kayaking and bbq!! We already missed here.”

“Guests be aware of garage door is broken on the left side, car can’t park inside. We had to call twice for the plumbing problems - both water closets can’t flushing and the shower head handle (open/close) has broken. Other than that, the house is a nice place for families gathering, fishing etc.”
