  • We were looking for a place to get away and fish for a few days and boy did you deliver. We stayed in the apartment and had a blast walking out the back door catching fish all night. Great place, great hosts! We will be back.

  • Our stay at Tiki Island was excellent. The house, amenities and fishing were top notch! If you are staying in the Galveston area and need more space than one or two rooms, this is the place for you. We had 10 guys stay comfortably for 4 days. Everyone had a blast and certainly look forward to a return trip. Jim is a very nice guy and accomodating landlord. Keith Dallas, TX

  • Dear James and Pat, We have not been home a week yet, and we have already recommended your place to a number of people. We are also talking with other couples who might want to join us at a later date for a return trip to Tiki Island Palms. We had a wonderful time during our week's stay! For those reading this comment page, Tiki Island Palms is everything they say it is, and more. There were 9 people in our group. The property is spacious enough that those who wanted activity and to be boisterous were able to enjoy it, while those who wanted solitude to read or relax could find room to do so at the same time. It is wonderfully appointed with nice, comfortable furnishings. While the many pictures on the Web are good, they cannot do the place justice. You have to be there to fully realize how nice the place is. Many items we did not expect were available to us upon our arrival - spices, laundry detergent, etc. The items you use daily, but have to think of to pick up when renting a house for a vacation. Replace what you use up, or what you get close to using up. Same as you would at home. The location is ideal. An almost ever-present breeze kept the hot Texas August at bay, beckoning us all to remain outside for the majority of the day. Those fishing from the dock sat up to the wee hours of the morning, catching bigger and bigger fish as the night wore on. The big fish always seemed to arrive toward midnight and 1:00 AM! Though just a short distance off the causeway, Tiki Island Palms is quiet, private, and secluded. You are minutes from Galveston and all the sights, sounds, fishing, and excitement. Plus, it is less than a half hour back toward Houston to get to NASA. We had the pleasure of meeting James and Pat upon our arrival. They are a fantastic couple and gracious hosts. They greeted us and welcomed us personally, then gave us a tour of the house to acquaint us with where everything was. We also had the pleasure of visiting with them toward the end of our week there when they stopped back by at our request to help us revel in the fish we were catching off the dock at the house and from the off-shore fishing trips various ones in our group had gone on. We all took great pride in flying the American flag available to us, putting it out in its mounting on the deck of a morning and bringing it in at night - showing the flag the respect it is due. We highly recommend Tiki Island Palms to anyone considering a trip to the coast. You will not be disappointed. We will be back. Sincerely, Gregory and Cherry Reedy

  • Ourselves and friends - ten people total - had a wonderful time!! It didn't matter that it rained almost the whole time in Galveston...we had so much fun enjoying the views, cooking together, fishing right out back, paddle-boating, hunting for seashells, and visiting the beaches. The house was perfect with everything we needed. It slept our group comfortably with plenty of separate space for adults and kids. All the kids had a blast and we will definately book again with James and Pat. Thanks so much!!

  • It was everything we expected and more. The house was very roomy and has everything you need to enjoy a relaxing vacation. The pictures on the website does not do the home justice. The location of the home is very convenient. The fact that it is so close to the freeway is a plus to go to either Houston or Galveston. One of the reasons for choosing this home was for the fact that it is suppose to be a great place to fish and it definitely is. I knew that the fishing might not be as good in March as it would be during the summer but it was more than I expected. Everyone I talked to at the local bait and tackle told me that the fishing might not be that good because the water temperature was not ideal for fishing, but they don't know about your bright underwater light that attracts all the fish. We fished everynight we were there and caught fish everynight. We also caught fish during the day but we caught more at night. We caught at least 10 fish everynight and some nights we caught over 15. Just seeing all the fish pass over the light was very exciting. My daughter was very excited at seeing all the fish. The last night there I must have stayed up all night just watching all the fish and at one point I must have seen over 20 fish at one time. We planned on fishing at a local pier but we had so much succes fishing at the back of your home that we decided not to go to the pier. We caught a variety of fish including several kinds of catfish, croaker, speckled trout and couple of others that I wasn't familiar with. We also managed to catch some blue crabs even thouhg the water was a little cold for catching them. We also enjoyed an otter that visited the area nightly. I thouhgt he might scare the fish away but the fish was still there even when he was around. We hope to stay in your home again in the future. We plan to make it a yearly trip. We have stayed in many other vacation homes all around the country and your home definitely ranks among one of the best. This is the first time that we are considering staying in the same place more than once. My 10 year old daughter has already asked if we can come back again. I also wanted to thank you both for taking the time to show us around your home when we first arrived. This made it easier to find our way around the house. And your directions to the nearby grocery stores was also very helpful. We definitely enjoyed our stay and hope to stay again soon. Thanks, Peter Reyes and Family

  • James and Pat -- The "girls" and I thoroughly enjoyed your hospitality and your wonderful home - celebrating our 60th! Couldn't have picked a better place! Everything one could possibly want was available, including the entertainment - fishing/swimming/paddle boat/sunning on the deck, etc. etc. etc. I would love to spend a week there and TOTALLY unwind! I can certainly see where this makes a perfect family getaway--plenty of room and sleeping quarters for everyone...and lots for all to do both at the beach house and in Galveston. You were most gracious hosts. Thank you again. Sue, Dottie & Barbara

  • Dear James and Pat, What a WONDERFUL house. The girls and I had a terrific time. The fish were really biting, along with the crabs. I couldn't believe how many we caught. It was just too bad none of us eat them, so, we released the lucky crabs. Tiki Isalnd was a nice as described and the location to Galveston was a brief trip over the bridge. For anyone looking for a terrific vacation house...this is it. Hope to see you again soon. Thank you so very much for your hospitality, it was greatly appreciated.Along with the safety factor of Tiki...the men in our family greatly appreciated that they didn't have to worry about us girls being away by ourselves. We wish you the very best.
