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.

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 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.

With a sad heart, we unfortunately had to cancel our vacation and stay. But what I can tell you is the host was amazing with their communication before, during and after the storm. This is truly a testament to what we would have experienced had we have had the privilege of staying at this lovely property. We will definitely reschedule our stay at this house very soon and can’t wait to enjoy it.

What an amazing place to visit!! The perfect getaway to just kick back, relax and fish all day and night.. This home is well equipped with all your culinary needs and some of the most comfortable beds. The property owners were so nice to let us use the kayaks and games to keep our little ones entertained.

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!

Perfect family gathering

The property was settled in a great location with great view into the bay. The house was clean and very comfortable. The house was also stocked with everything you will need to enjoy a week away. Including paddle boards and other activities the kids of many ages will enjoy. One of the best perks to the house was the owner was very easy to communicate with from start to end!

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!

Fantastic location!

This is my first time to stay on the canal and it won’t be my last! The kayaks and toys in the garage were an added bonus as well as the game room. The kitchen setup was great, plenty of dishes, pots and pans, and coffee pots and more. David was very responsive when needed. Very spacious home and the view on the canal was wonderful. My favorite part was kayaking on the canal. We will definitely be back!

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.

Roomy stay

Great place! Only caution is on the deck upstairs there are some loose deck rails that was very unsafe for our toddler. Some of them were completely broken. Some wear and tear but we would definitely stay again. Loved the kayaks! BBQ pit does need to be replaced.

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.

About the host

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

We both love the bay and this neighborhood which we have watched for years. Having close access to the the beach and staying on the bay is what we have always wanted. We wanted a place that was easy to travel to on the weekends after the kids games on Saturday and still make it home for dinner on Sundays. We love to fish and having it available on the back porch made it all worth the while. Having a house large enough to host family gathering was important to us.

What makes this property unique

On the water, large living areas so you don't feel cramped and great kitchen for cooking and hanging out. We are very close to the beach, so this place gives you the best of both worlds. In Feb. 2020 we are renovating the entire kitchen. We are putting our heart-in-sol into the house, not only for our family but for our guest.
