The canal was super fun to fish from and catch crab and other fish. The hosts were easy to communicate with and the house had updated kitchen appliances that were very nice. We enjoyed our time there and would certainly re-book this property again in the future.

Quick family vacation

Great property. Beach is within 5 min driving distance, spacious outdoor deck, great for fishing. We have a large family and do several extended family trips together. Loved that the rooms had several bunk beds allowing for the kids to all hang out and stay together in a room.

Property has plenty of beds but was lacking on space for suitcases and there are not closets in 2 bedrooms. Sofa has seen better days and was jammed up against the sliding glass door. There was another main entry to the house in the same room. A box fan and Shower in one bath did not work but mgmt offered to come fix it.Could use chairs on lower deck and another step. Dangerous! Property seems lacking in details.Canal was nice and close to beach and Galveston.

Nice Stay

We enjoyed our stay. The showers did remain extremely cold throughout the duration of our stay and never got warm, and some of the fans in the bedrooms did not work resulting in it being a bit warm at night, but other than that we enjoyed. The host was very communicative.

New Year

The property was nice but could use some maintenance and updating like painting and rust. The decks are spacious. Unfortunately due to the weather we couldn't enjoy the beach during our visit which was the primary reason for our stay. The property was relaxing and a nice way to end the year.
