My family and I enjoyed staying at Gary's place. It rained on and off. The fishing was slow. My highlight was my grandkids excitement when they caught fish and crabs. Only one was a keeper. Black drum. We will definitely be booking a future trip when time permits. Thank you, Gary!

Nice location

Property is close to everything. The property is very quiet, great for fishing, crabbing, and just getting away. Gary was wonderful and very responsive. The home is cozy but needs a lot of updates and a little TLC. Gary adressed any of our concerns. We stayed comfortably during our stay. They neighbors are vey nice and informative. We plan on coming back.

Bayou

This could be a very nice place to stay. It was quiet with great sunset views as stated. However the dock had been changed since the pictures were put up and we could not fish off of it. The house needs some TLC as we experienced multiple water leaks and plumbing problems. The owner was quick to respond but we had 3 different problems in 5 days which was very frustrating.

Great fishing spot

If you’re looking for a great spot to fish away from all the tourists, this is the place. It is not for the glamorous and modern lifestyle. Definitely a fishing cabin. We had ability to cook or not. Master bed was comfortable. Didn’t use rest. Dock was good. Found out what “ coastal flooding “ means with beautiful weather… tides. Host was nice and returned calls. Able to stay additional evening which was nice. Caught lots of crabs and small trouts. Will keep in our list of fishing spots.

I’d stay again

This was a decent property. Gary was awesome to work with and the price was great. One thing I’d say is the actual town isn’t pretty. Some of the houses you drive by to get to the house are run down or burnt out. I know the coast of TX so no big deal for us. If you’ve stayed at some of the nicer properties in Galveston or other places(ie way more expensive and “professionally managed”) just know that this property isn’t like those. That being said- it was safe, plenty of room for everyone, and we would stay again! I can’t emphasize enough how easy Gary was to work with.

Cozy Fishing Camp

We loved this property. My son is wheelchair bound and the ramp made things so easy. The home has enough room for 9 easily. 2 more even if needed. There were 6 of us and we were so comfortable. The owner just built a new fishing deck which was beautiful. We fished and crabbed. Pelicans stayed close for us to see. We used the barbecue pit provided as well. Very friendly neighbor who even let us borrow tools that we had left at home for our crab pot. Definitely want to come back!!! Communication with owner was clear, friendly and quick. Very well stocked rental.

Clean comfortable relaxing stay close to Galveston

Exactly as described except better in real life than what you can see in the photos. There was some communication required at first about how to use the washing machine. But Gary was able to respond quickly with the solution. Have to say the communication was excellent. The inside is much more spacious than what the pictures show. I know everyone has their own preference for mattress firmness/softness- everyone in my group rested great. The air conditioners worked superbly in the Texas heat, which is always a concern. The bathrooms and kitchen were clean. The fishing dock and outdoor activities exceeded expectations. The kayak was stored but easy to access. Everyone had so much fun and made some great memories. Being able to bring the family pets was a super bonus that we especially appreciated. We would definitely like to go back but for longer next time!
