We had a pleasant stay. The house and the decor were really cute. Chris was very attentive to our needs. My dog really enjoyed her stay. The fenced in yard was perfect. The neighborhood was very quiet making our trip very relaxing. The beach access is exactly one mile down the road. All in all it was a nice stay.

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

35 year anniversary

This house is great for pets with a fully enclosed yard. The location is really close to fishing areas and beach areas. Very quiet if you don’t count the birds. I would suggest to let people know the gate can be heavy especially if an elderly couple.

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.

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.
