Nice bay house
Great location on the bay and had great time there with family for 4 days. Fishing was so so. Caught some, mostly non keepers and the crabs take your bait. Typical for Galveston Bay. Unfortunately the mosquitoes were horrible by the thousands swarming everywhere which is no fault of owner. Just made it a bit miserable at times to to be outside and fish or shower and of course they find their way inside. Bring lots and lots of yard guard and OFF. Overall nice place and stay.

Bay Fishing with Framily
We had an amazing time at this property. The owner connected with us frequency before, during, and after to ensure everything was great. The outdoor area was perfect and the inside was super clean and comfy for our two families, 4 adults and 5 kids. The older boys really enjoyed staying downstairs and having their own space. Looking forward to coming back!

Absolutely loved our stay. Great location and layout of the property was very nice. Views were amazing with stunning sunsets every evening. House was clean, well kept and very comfortable. Everyone had a wonderful time and so much so, we booked an extra day. Tim was outstanding to work with through the booking process as well as during the stay. Super nice guy too! Most importantly, wifey loved it! We look forward to staying again. Thanks Tim!

Wonderful stay
Tim was very nice to work with and the place was perfect for 11 of us! The kids had fun staying downstairs and loved the popcorn machine and Nintendo switch. This was our first time staying on the bay side and we really enjoyed it! Beach was so close by and we had fun fishing, swimming, and paddle boarding/ kayaking in the bay. House had everything we needed!

One of the best
We have been renting vacation homes for 30 years and this is one of the best.You can not beat location and the views. The owner was very responsive to questions. We stayed for a month. I nearly cried when it was time to go home. We have already booked next year. Highly recommend.

Something for Everyone at this Property!
Although the unusual cold weather arrived just as we did and even though two of our party were, unfortunately, unable to join us due to the weather, the nine of us who stayed in the house each found our little piece of bay bliss. As noted by other guests, the views are to die for and they go on an on. It was too chilly for us to enjoy the kayaks or fish, but we were able to utilize the grill, the fire pit and the many decks. Inside, on both levels, it is very comfortable. Two of the younger persons in our group quickly lay claim to the downstairs - perfect for teens or younger adults who want to stay up all night. Or older folks who still like staying up all night!! The primary suite, as well as the other two guest rooms upstairs, was pretty and roomy, all bathrooms well appointed, with plenty of linens. Can't say enough about sectional sofa with its comfy throw pillows, the large TV, the even larger dining table and mammoth bar. (We needed a mammoth bar!) All enjoyed throughout visit. Kitchen well stocked for cooking almost anything you can think of. Definitely recommend renting a golf cart, as you will want to make the three minute trek to the beach. Happily, we encountered no issues that required we contact host, Tim, during our stay. However, prior to check-in, he was very responsive. I would definitely book this house again and I can fully recommend it to anyone wanting the quiet end of the island. And, if you want less noise, great shopping, and need to be fully fed and watered, you will only be minutes from all of that! Book it!

Absolute BLISS
This is one of the best vacations I've ever had! Tim was an exceptional host - accommodating multiple special requests and available our entire stay. I almost want to leave a terrible review so that this house is always available! Every detail, want and need is done to perfection. My mom, who has mobility issues, was so happy here, along with my aunt and sister. "Comfortable" doesn't even begin to describe how luxurious this house is. The showers especially! It's absolute perfection and we're already planning our next trip back! Thank you, Tim, for the best family vacation we've ever had!!

Very nice water vacation
The house is large, well maintained, and super clean for a water rental. It's well equipped not only for the living necessities but also for entertainment. Very nice first floor living area includes games, table and chairs, even a popcorn machine as well as a frig, coffee machine, large TV, kitchen table for card games, bedroom and most convenient an easy access bathroom while fishing on the deck, even an outside shower for those playing in the water. Includes 2 kayaks and water board. A fenced yard is also great just from a feeling of security point of view. The upstairs is large, roomy and comfortable. Very clean. We loved it.

Great for Family Vacation!
We all (4 adults) thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home. The home is so clean, and you can tell that Tim and his family take pride in their property. The beds are super comfy, the bedding is luxurious, and the bath towels are so fluffy. The kitchen is well equipped with whatever you need. We cooked every meal at the home except for one. We always enjoy going to West End Marina in Sea Isle for dinner at least one night. The balcony over the boat house offers great seating to enjoy views of the sunset. In fact, we sat out there every evening. Tim is a fantastic host, and quickly responds to any questions you may have. Overall, I would highly recommend this vacation rental. We had such a relaxing weekend. Thank you again, Tim. We look forward to renting your home again next year!

Great Stay. Great location.
Owner very responsive and helpful. Property beautiful with ideal location. LOVED having kayaks and paddle board to use while vacationing. I would not say this property is wheelchair accessible. The main living is upstairs and there is no elevator. However, once upstairs, the property is w/c friendly. HUGE outside deck extended the living space. Would highly consider staying here again!

Clean house with excellent views of the bay.
We had 4 couples staying here for the weekend and the house was perfect for us to hang out together, play games around the big kitchen table, and spend time sitting around the comfortable deck chairs in the evening. We caught some keeper specks as right off the dock! Overall great experience.

About the host

Hosted by Tim McCarble

Host profile image
We are native Houstonians and absolutely love our second home. This is our happy place where we enjoy the scenery and having family and friends join us for great times and great fishing.

Why they chose this property

This property is our second home. It is not a "rental" property but a home in which we are sharing. We take great pride and ownership in our home by the updates and the amazing amenities. We share spices and condiments along with down pillows, fluffy towels and high-end mattresses for your comfort, just as we would want to enjoy.

What makes this property unique

Sitting along side and over Galveston Bay, this home is a great location for fishing and wildlife watching along with boating, swimming, tubing and just relaxing and watching the sunset while sitting over the water.
