Fishing get away

My brother and I went down for 2 nights and 3 days to fish and get away. We didnt want to be in with all the crowds so we booked twords the ferry on purpose and we couldnt have made a better choice. We were 1 block from the south bait camp and 5 minutes from frenchtown. It was the perfect place for this. The house is clean and the cookware is top shelf. I would definitely stay here again.

Everything was great besides walking in to food being smeared on the fridge and inside the freezer. And some type of yellow liquid being a puddle in the living room. Everything else was clean. Loved the options of games to play.

Nice quiet off to yourself kind of place. Close to the North Jetty for some amazing fishing. Close enough to enjoy Galveston if you wanted to even though we didn’t. Close enough to Crystal Beach

Cute house but a few issues

We booked a 3 night stay and our first issue was a heavy sliding wooden gate. I think it needs some work to unstick it. The 2nd was dead roaches on tge floor. There was a smell of sewage coming from the bathroom. The air vent was very dirty. The house pictures are true to the space. There were lots of pots and pans. The house is cute, a great location to the ferry and I believe with some attention it will be fine. We didn’t stay as my husband has a lung condition and the vent made the air vent questionable. I did notify the owner that we were not staying and why. He never responded.

Worked well for our family.

Overall the property worked well for us. We liked the privacy fence for our pup, and the proximity to ferry. House was clean, but one night it sounded like a critter was in the attic and walls. Deck could use some repairs but we would stay here again. Good communication with the host, and prompt responses.

Very Quiet

This place is nestled on the east end of the peninsula. It is exceptionally quiet there, which is perfect for a get-away from a busy urban life and if you like to fish, you are minutes away from a jetty with a bait camp. A very good bargain!

So Quiet.

Everything you need and nothing you don't. The place was nice, quiet and clean. It's surrounded on a couple sides by uncleared lots. I really liked that added seclusion and the view across the wild greenery. My little dog LOVED the fenced yard and especially trotting up and down the stairs next to the banana trees. We really enjoyed the less busy beach about 4 miles up the road off Boat Rd. The owner was also helpful and friendly- he called me immediately when I sent a message inquiring about food delivery. (Bring your own, or plan to go out!) This was a business planning trip for me- next time I'll bring my husband and enjoy the place in a more leisurely way!

Loved The Pineapple House!!

House was very clean, updated and comfortable. Plenty of dishes, cooking pots/pans & utensils, toaster, coffee pot (it’s kuerig & regular brew type). Bed was comfy. Porch was great to sit and enjoy the breeze. Property owner even provided beach towels, which was awesome as we forgot ours. Perfect home away from home, just minutes from the beach. Exterior of the house is being repainted and we can’t wait to come back and see it all finished!

Great house for a relaxing beach stay

Very pleasant house to stay in. Love coming back from the beach and relaxing in comfortable furniture with some tv, etc. Great location with a 5 min drive to the beach and 10 min drive to all the food. There were a few things around the house that need some attention. Some broken plumbing and clogged shower. Toilet needs to be reset and is leaking from the bottom. We found a couple wet dirty towels from the people that were there before and it seems the cleaning people could have used a little more time. Overall, though, it was a very nice house and any issues we found were barely an inconvenience. I would definitely stay here again!

My boyfriend and I had a free weekend out of our busy schedules and wanted a super stress-free weekend. The communication with the property manager was great. They were able to answer our questions, even before we needed to ask them. The property was clean and well-stocked with everything we needed to cook. Plenty of clean towels for bath and beach use. We didn't need them, but there was an assortment of children's toys. We will definitely consider staying there again.
