                        We had a great time!! it hasn't been sunny, but we definitely enjoyed the beach while we were down here. We went to the strand and enjoyed eating on the seawall. It stormed the last day of our stay, but we loved watching the waves at the bay house! Overall, just a wonderful, relaxing, vacation!!!! Thanks so much!!

                        We had a fabulous time at this house. We caught a crab with an old hamburger using one of the traps in the garage. :) (we set it free) there is a beautiful view off the back deck that we enjoyed. This house is great because it is so spacious and bright . Thanks!

                        Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory — They have the most delightful caramel-covered apples (some stores feature over 30 varieties!), fudge is made fresh every day using the marble slab to literally suck the heat out of the favorite confection while the cook shapes it with paddles into a giant 22-pound "loaf". A variety of fruits, nuts, pretzels and cookies are also dipped by hand in pots of melted milk, dark and even white chocolate.

                      Year Purchased: 1980

                      About the owner: This was our parent's residence for many years; there have been many wonderful memories. Inside, we have all new furnishings with a seaside flair, with a feel of being on vacation in your own home. Lots of fishing, swimming,and great family fun!!! We hope you enjoy it too.

                      Why the Owner Chose Tiki Island:
                      This is an ideal weekend getaway or for a wonderful week-long vacation. Tiki Island is 17 minutes away from the beaches in Galveston and centrally located to the Strand for shopping and great restaurants, Schlitterbaun, Moody Gardens, The new Pleasure Pier, and much more.

                      The Unique Benefits at this House:
                      Our house is right on Jones Bay. There's lots!! of fishing and crabbing downstairs. Swimming off the pier is great fun, and of course, accommodations for a boat or jet skis. We have a wonderful deck to view the water on Jones Bay, watching all the boating activities, and in the evening, watching the most breath taking sunsets.
