I booked this place for my birthday weekend and it was perfect! So much space for my friends and me. We LOVED the outdoor shower. The downstairs room was my favorite, nice little sanctuary.

Charming bay house that was perfect for our little family. We liked how open it was, so that we could enjoy cooking & chatting amongst ourselves. The kitchen was equipped with all the necessary items and the dining room table was perfect for doing a puzzle while enjoying the views.Our host was amazing, too! Very responsive to our questions/concerns and friendly.

House was great! Patio does get evening sun so it’s gets pretty hot but once it sets behind the houses on the other side it cools off. Caught a 20in speckled trout off the back! House provides water toys such as kayaks and paddle boards with life vests of all sizes.

Great views and place

We really enjoyed this house. We live close by and rent bay houses often when things are going on. We brought our mother who loved the peacefulness and we paddle boarded all over (even in our 40s) and had the best time. Will stay again!

Our go-to house for summer vacation!

We have stayed here previously and were excited to return because the house fits our multi-generational family perfectly and the amenities there are wonderful. We love the paddle boards and kayaks and fishing in the canal. The owner was very communicative!! She is super kind and always helpful. We love the island, especially this house, and can’t wait to come back!

Nice long weekend trip

Property is lovely, clean and fully equipped, nice location and view. Christine is very helpful and answered my questions quickly. My kids enjoyed the kayaking and fishing. The only thing I didn’t pay attention but found out later is that one bedroom is downstairs.

We loved the place. Great kitchen opened to the living area. It made us want to cook. The spacious deck over the canals provided a lovely view of the sunset. Downstairs covered outside area level with the canals was a haven from the sun and wind.. We did not want to leave.

Perfect Getaway

This house was one of the best places he have rented in Galveston. Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. The kids and adults had so much fun on the paddle boards, and kayaks and fishing. So much room outside for relaxing. Some family came for the day and enjoyed it as well. My only disappointment was that the under water green light was not working, but that was no big deal because we had the best time. Thank you Christine for allowing us to use your home!

Thank you for leaving the house clean and tidy! Yes that was disappointing the underwater light company couldn’t get there in time for your stay but it’s working now. Looks like a fisherman had pulled it with their line and broke. It’s been replaced now and we are ready for summer!

Turtle haven

The house was really nice. It fit our family of 10 comfortably. Had plenty of pots, pans, utensils and spices to cook family meals. The house was clean but some of the beddings had quite a bit of stains however they had plenty extra sheets to change. They provided everything to keep our family busy. The kids loved the kayak and SUP. The homeowners even had a crab trap that the kids caught crabs in! We would stay here again.

Thank you for your stay. I'm glad your family had fun! Unfortunately, a guest left something in the dryer that was staining our sheets. We have repaired the dryer and it's not leaving stains on the sheets any longer. Makes us happy your family had a nice vacation.

Several moms wanted to give our daughters a weekend to remember after their senior prom. This was the house we settled on. The space was cozy - enough for some privacy but with supervision.
