This was our 3rd and best visit to Tim’s Bayfront house in Galveston. It has everything you need and the views and fishing are awesome. The new fishing pier is a great addition. Lots of yard/dock space overlooking the bay and you even get nice shade in the afternoon. We will be back for sure.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this home. Everything about it felt just right from the moment we arrived. The location is ideal, tucked into a safe and secure neighborhood that made it easy to relax and truly enjoy our time.The beds were incredibly comfortable, and as someone coming from the Northwest, I was especially grateful for how well the air conditioning handled the humidity. It made a huge difference in our comfort.The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed, which made it feel like a true home away from home. Every detail seemed thoughtfully considered, and the home was beautifully maintained.What stood out most was the homeowner. They were always available, responsive, and genuinely kind and understanding, which added an extra layer of ease to our stay.The overall atmosphere was peaceful and quiet, exactly what we were hoping for. Everything we needed was right there within reach.I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, well-cared-for place in a perfect location.

Beautiful spot on the Bay

We had a great trip to this bay front house. Two levels of outdoor space had nice breezes and shade. Extra large fenced in yard was well kept and perfect for our dog. Comfortable, well stocked house - lower level suite was great for the kids to hang out. We had fun fishing, paddle boarding and kayaking. Owner was super easy to work with; we would definitely rent this home again.

What a great house! It was wonderfully comfortable while maintaining style with an eye for detail…. Not an easy balance. The deck/view was our reason for booking this property. Incredible! We fished, crabbed, kayaked, and used the SUP. Some nights we played games and watched movies…. Ahhhh, the memories we made. The kitchen was well appointed, the bedding was perfect, and the views were spectacular.

We had an amazing time at this property. The owner connected with us frequency before, during, and after to ensure everything was great.

About the host

Hosted by Tim McCarble

Host profile image
We are native Houstonians and absolutely love our second home. This is our happy place where we enjoy the scenery and having family and friends join us for great times and great fishing.

Why they chose this property

This property is our second home. It is not a "rental" property but a home in which we are sharing. We take great pride and ownership in our home by the updates and the amazing amenities. We share spices and condiments along with down pillows, fluffy towels and high-end mattresses for your comfort, just as we would want to enjoy.

What makes this property unique

Sitting along side and over Galveston Bay, this home is a great location for fishing and wildlife watching along with boating, swimming, tubing and just relaxing and watching the sunset while sitting over the water. The fishing is great with an extended fishing pier and LED fish lights in two locations.
