My family of five (children ages 15, 13 and 10) had a wonderful time. We had plenty of space to spread out and sleep well, which was appreciated after a busy spring of school and sports. Everyone remarked on the comfortable beds. The kids fished for hours off the back dock. It was nice they could just go out and fish without having to drive them to a dock or arrange a boat. We rented a golf cart and ate at the marina most meals, which was a convenience as I didn’t want to cook on vacation. The long weekend was just what we needed to kick off summer. Would stay here again!

Great spot for all ages

Still taking advantage of my boys coming home for spring break- this home has a great dock, but also close to very clean beaches that are much quieter/crowded than up the island. It was a perfect stay.

Beautiful canal home

My family and I stayed from June 12th-17th and we all had a blast. The house was gorgeous, inside and out. We enjoyed fishing off the dock, swimming in the canal. Headed to the beach a few times and ate at our favorite place, West End Marina. The house accommodated our family very well and was spacious and clean. Thank you David for sharing your home with us.

Weekend Getaway

This was a great property for a family getaway. We loved being right there on the water. We used the paddle boards & kayaks in the canal. My husband enjoyed fishing from the dock. We rented a golf cart for easy access to the beach. The kitchen was well stocked with equipment and large for family dinners. The bedding was comfortable. The owners were very attentive and available to us.

Beautiful Week!

This was our second year celebrating Thanksgiving in this wonderful home. Perfect kitchen for multiple people- love the 2 sinks and multiple prep areas. The convenience of being able to pull our boat up to the dock was great for long days fishing. Our teenager loved the standup paddle board. Very comfortable well equipped house - we’re looking forward to coming back!

Great Labor Day Getaway

We very much enjoyed David’s property! It was beautiful sitting on the top deck over looking the serene water and beautiful community with a cup of coffee to start the day. The downstairs deck was full of fun for our boys as they fished, kayaked, gave the paddle boards a whirl and crabbed. The home equipped with everything you need for cooking and then some. I would highly recommend this home for a stay with a large group. I look forward to going back soon!

Great House

This is the 4th time we have stayed in this beautiful home. It is comfortable and relaxing. We love the upstairs deck with views of the water. The downstairs area is perfect for fishing and just hanging out. The kids love playing on the paddle boards and kayaks in the bay. David is a great host and is available should you have questions during your stay. The kitchen area is large and a great place for everyone to hang out. The area is less crowded that other areas in Galveston and the beach is right across the highway. We will definitely be back.

This House is the answer!

This house is fantastic! Large enough to fit all of your people. Great open layout downstairs provides enough room for everyone. Kitchen is great for cooking large family meals. Access to the canal is a big plus and the fishing is will keep you reeling! You will have spectacular sunset views from the upper deck in the evening. Plenty of activities local but you won’t need to leave the house with all of the yard games and kayaks available. House is just across the highway from the public beach access which is nice. The outdoor shower down stairs was handy for washing off the beach and keeping it out of the house. Bedroom layouts were accommodating for our large party. All of the beds were like sleeping on a cloud. My wife says it’s the best she’s slept in years! I messaged the host after our departure so we could buy the same mattresses for home! Communication with the host was easy going, he even offered some sound fishing advice! You will not regret booking this house.
