About this property

On the water; Sunrise/sunset views; Great fishing; Spacious;Plenty of activities

On the water rental property with brilliant front and back water views, very close to the open bay perfect for entertaining or for rest and relaxation away from the crowd in this peaceful neighborhood. Truly one of Galveston's hidden gems!

Enjoy breathtaking water views from virtually all corners of the house, along with beautiful sunrises/sunsets from the decks in any of the three bedrooms, or head down to the lower deck where you can catch a wide variety of fish, crabs, or grab a kayak or paddle board and spend part of your day out on the clam, pristine waters. Upstairs you will find a newly updated living area with 3 bedrooms. The master bedroom on the third level has its own private balcony and spacious en-suite bathroom with a balcony where you can watch the gorgeous sunset. The second bedroom has a queen bed. The third bedroom perfect for kids has a twin over full bunkbed, and another twin over twin plus trundle bunk. Queen-size folding bed and the living room sofas can be used for sleeping extra guests. The main deck provides plenty of space for entertaining. A light in the canal right in front of the house allows for viewing of fish during the nighttime hours. Garage downstairs serves as a game room where you can challenge family or friends to a round of ping pong or darts. The community boat ramp, pier and pavilion are conveniently located right across the street from the house. There is plenty of parking on the driveway and on the street for larger groups. You are only a 3 minute drive away from Bay Harbor beach. The very beautiful, untamed white sand beaches and sand bars along the San Luis Pass, where you can drive your car or 4-wheel vehicles, is a popular fishing spot and is only 9 mins away. For added convenience, a short drive will also get you to the local grocery store, bait shops, gas stations, and restaurants.
All you need to bring are clothes, toiletries, and food, and you are ready to enjoy your home away from home!

We had an incredible stay at this beautiful home! It was definitely family-friendly, clean, and the host was very responsive.The property sits right on a canal that leads directly into the bay, which was an absolute game-changer for our boating and water-loving family. The weather was perfect for relaxing, fishing, and kayaking. A huge bonus was being able to bring our own boat and park it right at the house. The home is incredibly spacious with so much to do—you can even play pickleball on the driveway! The decor is beautifully done, and the patio offered a perfect escape for us to unwind while our teenagers stayed fully entertained fishing off the pier or exploring on the kayaks.We will definitely be back!

We had an amazing experience! From the moment we booked, the host was friendly, helpful, and ensured the whole process was smooth. We appreciated our host allowing our service dog to accompany us during our stay. The property was clean, comfortable, and ideally located on the water. My husband was able to fish from the backyard, while I enjoyed soaking up the sun and the view! We enjoyed watching the sunrises from the adorable swings on the second floor deck. Plenty of outdoor space, with balconies off of every room in the house! Beautiful sunsets were also enjoyed from the balconies off the front of the home. The yard is completely fenced in on both sides of the house, a boat slip is on the property, and kayaks and life jackets are made available to guests. A lovely outdoor kitchen with a grill, refrigerator, and sink made cooking out a breeze! The interior of the home had a lovely layout. Second story of the home offered an open floor plan with tasteful decor throughout the home. The master bedroom and bathroom did not disappoint! Located on the third floor of the home, both were quite spacious and comfortable. Food delivery services (Uber Eats and DoorDash) are available on days you don’t feel like cooking! We highly recommend this property and look forward to staying again in the near future!

Beautiful Bayside

The house was exceptionally clean, very comfortable, and lots of room for our family to enjoy.The home had water crafts to enjoy the canal and bay area. Wonderful location to the bay with great fishing and a green light for night fishing or just watching all the fish. We brought our boat and the boat ramp was very conveniently located directly across from the house. We highly recommend this home and would love to return in the future.
