Thanks for your comment about the "huge table" in the dining room. We hope you like it because after my son-in-law built it, we realized it was so large that it is there to stay! We have received several comments about about this table along the lines that apparently it is uncommon for a property to have such a table where larger families and friends can all sit together.

50th Birthday Fishing Retreat

We had a party of 6 with us, and the house was overly accommodating, with 4 beds not even being used. The ping pong table was a plus for our group of competitors! We crabbed, fished, ate at Hookers Grill, went on a fishing trip out here n the bay, and just had an amazing time making memories. Charlie was “Johnny on the spot” and on top of anything that came up. We look forward to coming out again.

Grand creek retreat

We unfortunately had to cut our trip short due to Hurricane Hanna. The sunroom would benefit having shades to help keep the house cool and direct sun. Needs another tv. Kitchen pans need to be replaced. One fan in sunroom didn’t work. Overall the stay was great and would definitely consider returning.

Krystal, Thanks so much for taking the time to review your stay at Grand Creek Retreat. Overall we are pleased that you had a great stay in spite of the challenges produced by Hurricane Hannah. We also will welcome you back should you wish to return and potentially start a new tradition. Also, we very much appreciate your constructive comments. We want to maintain this property in tip-top shape. Your comment about sun shades is timely. Two weeks ago we actually discussed upgrading the sunroom with shades and have plans to do just that at the end of this rental season. Also, we will fix the fan in the sunroom as soon as practical. We didn't realize it wasn't working. We also will evaluate the cookware and TV. Again, thank you for your comments which serves to help us keep this property in good shape. Please come back next year to see these improvements, among others! CHM

Quiet & comfy!

The only things that would have made the stay better would be less mosquitos (but that's mother nature), a front patio for more confort, easy to see water straight on & more people can sit together, one toilet didn't get stopped up ,sheets that fit the bed that don't pop off & an ice maker. Other that that Laura (our go-to gal) was amazing! No fence & neighbor had a big dog, but he was super sweet. If you don't like dogs...you may want to reconsider bc he was over everyday. Would stay again.

Response from VrboOwner on 18 Aug, 2020
We are very pleased you found Grand Creek Retreat to be quiet and cozy. Also, very happy you would stay at our place again. We take pride in our property and want it to be the best. For that reason, we appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback. We especially appreciated your comment regarding Laura, our property manager. We couldn't agree more, Laura is the best! We are sorry you seemed to have a problem with a toilet. Laura is available for just such issues and is willing to come and address any problems that our guests are unable to solve on their own. We'll evaluate the condition of the sheets, but believe the ice maker in the refrigerator/freezer is working properly. We're honored you chose Grand Creek Retreat for your stay and hope we can welcome you back again in the future.

J H tournament weekend

Everything was great , the only negatives are no Astros games on the satellite plan there . No water at the cleaning station by the dock . There may have been a shut off valve that we never found ?
Response from VrboOwner on 6 Aug, 2020
Thanks for your review. We are happy you had a great time at Grand Creek Retreat. In response to your suggestion, we have expanded the TV offerings. Also, you were right. There is water at the cleaning station. Again, as a result of your observation, we have tried to make that shut-off valve more visible. We hope to welcome you back when convenient.
