Fishing, Views and Privacy...perfect house on Port Bolivar.

Great location for privacy, fishing and the ferry. Views are stunning and can be seen from just about all directions. Check in was easy and only a few minor things with the house. The house was beautifully decorated and well equipped. Bait is close or try one of the two ponds with a cast net.

Very nice house on the bay!

This vacation house was as advertised. It was very clean and had lots of space to spread out. The tiki bar area below the house was a nice place to hang out and watch the big boats/barges in the bay. A couple of evenings we also saw dolphins swimming by, right at the dock. Speaking of the dock- it was very sturdy to walk on and was big enough to have your own space while fishing. The dock also had lights for night fishing. My husband and I would definitely rent this place again.

A beautiful house with beautiful views

We booked the house for our family to get away for the weekend and never dreamed we would fall in love with the area as well as the house. It was perfect. The real estate managing agency was amazing to work with. The views are beautiful. We enjoyed watching the big freight ships go by and the birds. My granddaughter loved everything about it. The weather was gloomy and rainy but we enjoyed all the covered outdoor areas. My son caught a huge red and we caught tons of hermit crabs and a couple of blue crabs. The whole experience was great. We plan on coming back soon.

Great view of the bay and the very busy Galveston Bay.

This is located in a great spot on the bay! You can see The ferry coming in and out and all the container ships and all water going vessels that keep our country supplied. The fishing pier/boat dock was great except the wind was blowing 25 to 40 mph the whole weekend but you can't control Mother Nature : ) !! Highly recommend this location. Our only problem we had with this place was the lack of a trash can in the kitchen. There was a wicker clothes hamper in the kitchen next to the utility room but no trash can?

Great Fishing Needs Maintanence

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our fourth year renting this house. We love the location, the sunsets and the fishing. This home was perfect 4 years ago. Each year we watch the property become less than what it once was. Downstairs ice maker, downstairs fridge freezer, pressure washer for boat, various lights inside and pier fishing lights don’t work. Faucets that move all over and leak, stove that wobbles, locker doors rusted and hard to open close. Master bath shower shows moisture issues and there are soft spots in the floor of the house all over. There is a property dispute and the beach no longer exists nor access to get into the water easily. Yet we will likely come back because of the location.

Potential for a great house, but needs some work

House is very nice. A/C worked great. Nice views of the sunsets and we had multiple dolphin sightings. Location is great - right around the corner from the ferry. A couple of negatives: 1. Listing stated and showed pictures that there is a small private beach for use. When we arrived, the neighbors had put up a fence at the edge of the yard blocking all access and had signs up "Private Property - Keep Out". Was told by realtor that they would check into it and get back to me, but we never heard anything back. 2. Multiple weak / rotten wood spots in the subfloor, especially in the master bedroom in front of the sliding doors. Was told that they (owner / realtor) were aware of it, but had too many bookings back to back to get it taken care of at this time. 3. Fishing off the dock for the most part is very poor due to being super shallow as far as you can cast. Multiple lights burnt out on the docks. 4. Front door uses a key that has to be picked up from the realtor instead of a keypad. Then has to be returned back to their office once you have checked out. Their office is 15+ minutes from the house in Crystal Beach, so this wastes 30+ minutes if you are taking the ferry. Side note - not the owners fault, but the outdoor kitchen / downstairs area is unusable during the summer months due to the mosquitos.
