About this property

Waterfront Property With Amazing Views!

Bring the whole family to Bill’s on the Bayou! Perfect for fishing or kayaking from our dock or a guys’ or girls' trip with lots to do in the area.

Family owned and managed outstanding 5 Star home with a personal touch!

Beautiful 2,424 sq ft, 4 BR/3BA canal home in a quiet neighborhood on Offats Bayou. Comfortably sleeps up to 10. Spend the day fishing or enjoy all that Galveston has to offer. Near the Causeway with easiest access to and from the mainland and located on Offats Bayou with quick boat access to West Bay. Great yard for family games or relax on one of three decks overlooking the canal. After a busy day soak in the large garden tub with all of the amenities.

Enjoy your morning coffee or evening beverages on one of the decks snuggled up in one of our comfy Bill's on the Bayou robes!

We offer all the amenities of home. Furnished kitchen for all your dining needs including cooking basics. There is a gas grill available on the lower deck for your use. Washer and dryer are available for your use and are located in the coffee bar area. There is even a wine fridge for your favorite wines or bubbly! WiFi and Smart TV are located in the large, comfy living area and there is a small office area located in one of the bedrooms. One bedroom is located on the ground floor with separate access and its own private bath.

The main floor of the home is accessed by stairways on the front and back of the home. The bottom floor bedroom is accessed through a locking door and has French doors with a view of the canal. There is no access to the main floor from the downstairs bedroom except by the outside stairs. The whole house is yours to use!

Take caution when accessing the third floor deck over the boathouse. Children should be supervised and are encouraged to wear life jackets when on the decks or near the canal. The boat and boat lift are not available for use.

Absolutely NO DIVING into the canal! There is a ladder on the dock that can be used to enter and exit the canal if you choose to swim, float or kayak. You may tie your boat up to our dock.

The garage is not available for guest use but there is room to park three vehicles in the driveway.

About the host

Hosted by Raye Massey

Host profile image
My husband, Bill, and I love our beautiful home in Galveston. Bill enjoys boating and fishing and I, well, I love to relax, read and enjoy the atmosphere. Sightseeing and shopping are my specialties and Galveston offers the best of both! I am also learning to kayak and launch off of our deck.

While we don't live at Bill's on the Bayou full time we are in close proximity and have support on the island.

Why they chose this property

Bill's on the Bayou is located in a quiet family neighborhood on a cul de sac street. We have a beautiful bayou view from all three decks with easy access to the bayou and West Bay from our canal.

Our neighbors are great!

What makes this property unique

Our home has a perfect layout for families and friends. It is beautifully decorated and we try to provide everything you might need during your stay. Bill's is in a perfect location for easy access to everything on the island yet will provide the peace and comfort that you are looking for.

We want you to relax and enjoy our home during your stay. We provide everything that you might need while here. Come in after a long day on the Strand or the beach and enjoy a cold beverage and a snack.
