The fishing and crabbing have been so amazing this year. Just last week a 3 lb flounder was caught right off the dock behind the house. The group before that filled an entire cooler full of crabs. Hope you got to enjoy one of the beautiful sunsets. Thanks again and safe travels!

We're so glad you got to enjoy your Easter at our wonderful property. This time of year has incredible weather with the water temperature changing for the flounder run.

Thank you, Dale. I am always amazed this time of year when the weather warms and the already great fishing turns amazing. My family went down the weekend before and caught 65 crabs off the dock.

We just came out of a 6 month $100,000 remodel and a lot of the dishes, cups, and various items were moved during this process. I sent two people down in the first 2 days to deal with any issues that needed attention. Melissa was very vocal about how everything could be improved, so we made a list and made sure she was a happy camper. I happened to be on spring break with my family in Florida and understand both sides of the rental process. However, I tend find solutions before pointing out problems kind of guy. Overall, it was a symbiotic relationship that work out well. Thank you for staying with us and I appreciate your constructive criticism. Safe travels.

Glad you loved the house, the location, and that the fishing was wonderful. Sorry about the bathroom, the cleaning crew changes weekly and we try our best to stay on top of them. Having a house on such a wonderful remote point is amazing, but the cleaning crews have a high turnover because it is remotely located. Best wishes and safe travels, Charles.

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.

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

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.

Glad you love the house and the location. The canal silts up at the mouth but the county was digging it out this week. I have a 20 ft Mako with a Jack Plate and can navigate it no problem when jacked up. However low tides can be a little tricky. Safe travels, Charles

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!

So happy that you had a wonderful time at our house. It is incredible location to beach and Bay. Unfortunately the mosquitoes on the coast can get bad at night after rains. I think I grew up living with Off as a Cologne in Galveston after big rains. However, they go away soon and are are not to bad most of the time. Thanks Charles

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!
