About this property

The Barnacle--Perfect for the Fishermen...

If The Barnacle is not available, check out our listing, The Bunker; same location, same price, same quality.

After a hard day's fishing, what better place to relax than in convenient, comfortable surroundings in this fishing village. Located in a well-maintained, safe neighborhood, this apartment is inside the boat barn which makes for quiet, restful sleeping conditions. The bedroom has accommodations for four with a twin over full bunk and a full over full bunk (4 beds). The bathroom has a huge shower and is stocked with soaps and paper products. There is a big screen TV where you can catch all of the latest Houston sports games and news and basic programming. Complimentary WiFi in addition to DirectTV Stream are provided. ROKU remote.
There is a covered carport, propane grill, and yard furniture for relaxing outside when not fishing. Security cameras are not armed during your stay protecting your privacy. An electric extension cord is available for charging your boat.
Please , park on the 45' X 29 ' wide rock drive between the Barnacle and the street. The cement driveway is for guests in the other two rentals on this property. Contact owner if you want to see if this space on the cement drive is available during your stay.

We do ask that you do not clean fish/ducks on the premises. Also, absolutely do not throw entrails in the trash bins. The stench permeates the neighborhood for a week.

We love pets, but we ask that you do not leave your pet alone all day while you are gone without kenneling it.. There is a $50/pet fee in the booking process if not deducted at booking, it will be deducted from the damage deposit after your departure.

These accommodations are for 4 people only, including kids. .

Enjoy your stay and do not hesitate to ask if you have any questions.

Great spot for a hunting or fishing weekend stay.

Plenty of parking if you are bringing a boat. If you're coming in to the area to hunt or fish for a weekend and just need a place to shower and rest, this is the perfect spot. Has all you need a more.

Nice and convenient

Nice quiet place to rent for a quick fishing weekend. The property expands with another house for larger groups. I can see how this could be a great spot for kids as well. Don't forget some bread for the pet geese that decorate the backyard. Everything was in order. We will rent again.

Property is very well appointed with plenty of towels etc. Very nice and clean.Improvement suggestion: get rid of the plastic landscape trim along the sidewalk - trim is loose creating a serious trip hazard. I was tripped by it twice but, luckily, did not fall.

Clean and easy

Property was very easy to check in, the property was very clean and the owners were super nice and very well at communicating. It was easy for us to come and go at the early morning hours to hunt and fish and come back after dark with no issues. Able to park our 2 cars and our boat there too with no problem.
