The soaring, two-story, contemporary living area has plenty of space for your whole group to unwind and spend time together. Plush, overstuffed sofas face a flatscreen television that’s mounted to a crisp white shiplap wall. Kick back here in the evenings with some snacks and a favorite movie. Glass accent tables and stylish armchairs complete this comfy, modern space.



The kitchen is laid out in an efficient u-shape and features quartz countertops with a tiered peninsula bar.

Great Stay

This is a grand house that accommodated our large group. The house is equipped with a fully stocked kitchen, the restrooms had plenty of towels and starter toiletries. The location is perfect for fishing right off the canal. The beach was a 3 minute drive. I would rent here again. Check in was super easy and we had great communication with owner throughout our stay.

Jackson’s Take Galveston

This was a great property vacation rental, from the time we got there the owner communicated with us from beginning to end the property was very clean & the house and rooms are very spacious my only suggestion would be for the dryer to get hotter other than that I would definitely stay at this property again!

Relaxing time

Despite the summer heat, this placed offered plenty of shade and relaxing spots to chill out and spend time with family and friends. The beach less than 5 minutes by car or fishing from your own deck on the canal, everyone could have the space and activity they wanted.

Beach box

Overall property was great. Beds were comfortable and plenty of bathrooms. Large kitchen but no staples included. No dishrags but there was one sponge. Game room was just beds with a table and tv. Games would have been nice but none were supplied. No cleaning supplies whatsoever. There was a broom but no dustpan. Owner was quick to respond but very rigid in regards to number and ages of people staying at home. Entry code wasn’t provided until we arrived at the home. Would probably stay again.
