Outdoor

This house should have adequate patio furniture. You have to bring your own chairs and table upstairs and then back down when needed downstairs. Not enough skillets and pots for cooking for large groups. The house was perfect, other than that

Perfect getaway

Our stay was amazing this was a perfect location. We fished and hung out at the beach. The walk to the beach and bay was close. We caught tons of fish. Charles is great to work with. The house keeper gave us some ideas to take the kids and they loved it. We will be back soon.

Great location!

Wonderful location and a beautiful home! The house had everything we needed for our stay. The kitchen was well stocked, and we had plenty of room to prepare meals each day. We spent majority of our time fishing in the canal and the bay, plus enjoying the beach which was minutes away. The outside area was wonderful. Our stay was relaxing and peaceful and we hope to return next year!

Perfect for us!

The location was perfect! Able to crab and fish at the house and bay. Bought a pass to be able to park our car on the beach which meant no dragging all our stuff across the sand. There was plenty of space - our group of 9 never felt like we were on top of each other but we had ample space to eat and hang out. We will choose this house again.

Completely Perfect

We were celebrating the life of our son who recently tragically passed. We wanted to hold something on the beach for our closest family. With rain coming so often these days, we searched for a place on our son’s favorite beach that would be the perfect place in case it rained. The beautiful large home faces a canal that leads straight to Christmas Bay. On the opposite side of the home, a small road leads just several houses down directly to the beach/ocean. The best of both worlds. Charles is a fantastic host. Communication was very easy & timely. The home itself couldn’t have been more lovely. Spacious kitchen w/a large island to prepare food. 11 of us slept very comfortably. We would love to return and are already trying to set that up. Thank youCharles!

Great Place

House was super clean and in a great location. We had a problem with the upstairs AC unit and even though it was Sunday night, July 3rd the maintenance guy came and took care of it in a prompt manner. Boat slip behind the house is great but make sure your boat can run shallow. My 22' pathfinder couldn't get out of the canal into the bay at low tide. So your boat will need to run in 1' or less. You can't blame the homeowner for this, just something to be aware of if you are brining a boat.

Close to the beach and bay

Overall out stay was great, communication and help/suggestions from owner where great. She was always available when needed and help us out with our questions. The house is clean and has plenty of useful things all around the house which is a plus in case you forget something. The house has plenty of space and is within walking distance to the beach and Bay Area. We caught fish and kids Miley’s seeing the hermit crabs. Beach is nice and not crowded. The only downfall was the mosquitoes they ate us alive, it was really bad, bugs spray did nothing to them. We even bought citronella candles and a fogger which helped for about an hour and then it was the same, other than that we enjoyed our stay. So if you can bring something that works to help with the mosquitos, you will enjoy your stay even better. Thank you for being so helpful during our stay!

Not impressed

Started off when I double checked our reservation for bed sizes and realized that one of the bedrooms had been changed to an office a week before vacation and I was not notified. When I messaged charles I was assured that he would put back a queen size bed downstairs. When one of my guests rolled off the bed I found out that they had put a full size foam over a futon, this caused an overhang with no support. Additionally, I was then informed that the is no difference in size between full and queen. The refrigerator was nasty, dried and spilled food, and a wad of black hair inside. The ac filter did not look like it had ever been replaced. Floors had not been swept, I was told it is hard to get help there and my messages were sent to the cleaning people. Although Charles seemed helpful, he really didn't do anything except make excuses. I would not recommend this house for a family vacation

Sewer problem

Pros: - Large, there’s plenty of space - Great views of Christmas Bay and decent views of the Gulf from a couple rooms - Has dock and area to clean fish/outdoor shower - Kayak Launch at the end of the road - Public beach across the road was decent Cons: - Terrible sewer problem, raw sewage leaking down the road and all in the driveway where we parked cars (horrible smell) - Multiple campers/small RV park right next door - Was not clean, smelly trash left outside and trash was not emptied in bathrooms from prior guests - SHALLOW water in Christmas Bay and in the cut/dock next to the camp. Average 1-2 feet - sometimes shallower. I couldn’t use the launch or dock with my boat. Ended up launching in Surfside 15-20 mins away - Couldn’t fish Christmas Bay with my 20’ Bay boat that drafts 1’. SUPER SHALLOW. Average depth is probably 1’-1.5’ - No stores or bait shops anywhere close (Surfside) - Home did not have any toilet paper, we had to drive 20 mins away to get some - Lots of traffic on road going to Kayak launch Might work for people getting together for a Kayak/Beach trip if property was better cared for, but not for people who are looking for saltwater fishing from a boat. Won’t be back.

Family Christmas

7 Adults, 5 kids (2-8), 3 dogs. Great location and set up for our family. Short walk to the beach. Crabbing with the kids right under the house. Room for the dogs to play. I'm sure the fishing is good judging from all the kayaks & wade fishermen in the bay.

Thanksgiving Family Holiday 2021

Awesome property, Great accommodations and location. mWeather kind of sucked but other than that it was a spectacular Thanksgiving. Crabbing was good in the channel and great in the nearby bay. Wade and kayak fishing in Christmas Bay was excellent when the weather permitted. Owner was extremely courteous and great at communications! Would definitely stay here again, though maybe a little earlier in the year.

Host profile image
I felt a calling to renovate and make this house a beautiful get away. I hope you all enjoy this property as much as I have over the years.

Why they chose this property

This is a point lot on one of the best fishing areas on the Galveston coast line. Boat access from your private dock to Christmas Bay, Bastrop Bay, Intercostal Canal, West Bay, San Luis Pass, and the Gulf of Mexico. It offers the beach and the bay right next to each other. Boat ramp 100 feet from the house. Catch Redfish, Trout, Flounder and Crabs.

What makes this property unique

The wade fishing at the Beach and Christmas Bay right out your back door is outstanding and when your finished the sunsets are to die for!!! Park you boat at your back door on your private dock. Incredible sea and coastal bird watching.
