For those who love the thrill of the catch, our private dock provides prime fishing opportunities right at your fingertips. Spend leisurely mornings casting your line into the sparkling waters of the bay, surrounded by the serene beauty of your surroundings.

After a day of outdoor fun in the salty sea air and sand, rinse off in our refreshing outdoor shower. It's the perfect way to feel rejuvenated and ready for relaxation back at the home.

Inside, you'll find a newly renovated kitchen equipped with top-of-the-line appliances and ample counter space. Whether you're whipping up a seafood feast with the day's catch or simply brewing a morning cup of coffee, cooking is a breeze in this stylish and functional space.

When it's time to unwind, retire to one of our cozy bedrooms, each thoughtfully appointed with plush bedding and coastal-inspired decor. Drift off to sleep to the gentle sound of waves lapping against the canal, and wake up refreshed and ready to take on another day in paradise.

The stay here was very good. Our family really enjoyed this property, especially being able to fish off the back. Sitting on the upper or lower patio areas at night was very relaxing and there is usually a nice breeze blowing in through the cove. The local marina and resturant is awesome and convenient. The food there is great, everyone is friendly. You can get just about anything you need while staying here without having to make the trip into Galveston. Our only complaint about our stay was that the shower heads in both bathrooms spray very hard and dont seem to have an adjustment on them to soften the pressure or to change the spray pattern.That would be my only complaint, and that is minor. I highly recommend this property.
