Potential for a great house, but needs some work

House is very nice. A/C worked great. Nice views of the sunsets and we had multiple dolphin sightings. Location is great - right around the corner from the ferry. A couple of negatives: 1. Listing stated and showed pictures that there is a small private beach for use. When we arrived, the neighbors had put up a fence at the edge of the yard blocking all access and had signs up "Private Property - Keep Out". Was told by realtor that they would check into it and get back to me, but we never heard anything back. 2. Multiple weak / rotten wood spots in the subfloor, especially in the master bedroom in front of the sliding doors. Was told that they (owner / realtor) were aware of it, but had too many bookings back to back to get it taken care of at this time. 3. Fishing off the dock for the most part is very poor due to being super shallow as far as you can cast. Multiple lights burnt out on the docks. 4. Front door uses a key that has to be picked up from the realtor instead of a keypad. Then has to be returned back to their office once you have checked out. Their office is 15+ minutes from the house in Crystal Beach, so this wastes 30+ minutes if you are taking the ferry. Side note - not the owners fault, but the outdoor kitchen / downstairs area is unusable during the summer months due to the mosquitos.

Very nice house on the bay!

This vacation house was as advertised. It was very clean and had lots of space to spread out. The tiki bar area below the house was a nice place to hang out and watch the big boats/barges in the bay. A couple of evenings we also saw dolphins swimming by, right at the dock. Speaking of the dock- it was very sturdy to walk on and was big enough to have your own space while fishing. The dock also had lights for night fishing. My husband and I would definitely rent this place again.

Great view of the bay and the very busy Galveston Bay.

This is located in a great spot on the bay! You can see The ferry coming in and out and all the container ships and all water going vessels that keep our country supplied. The fishing pier/boat dock was great except the wind was blowing 25 to 40 mph the whole weekend but you can't control Mother Nature : ) !! Highly recommend this location. Our only problem we had with this place was the lack of a trash can in the kitchen. There was a wicker clothes hamper in the kitchen next to the utility room but no trash can?

A beautiful house with beautiful views

We booked the house for our family to get away for the weekend and never dreamed we would fall in love with the area as well as the house. It was perfect. The real estate managing agency was amazing to work with. The views are beautiful. We enjoyed watching the big freight ships go by and the birds. My granddaughter loved everything about it. The weather was gloomy and rainy but we enjoyed all the covered outdoor areas. My son caught a huge red and we caught tons of hermit crabs and a couple of blue crabs. The whole experience was great. We plan on coming back soon.

Lovely property with AMAZING views

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Beach House on the Bay! The views are stunning from the interior and exterior spaces. It is SO peaceful watching the ships, barges, & boats go by, and the sunsets are incredible from the wraparound deck. My husband and son are avid fishermen, and although the weather didn't cooperate for fishing (SUPER windy over SB, and then it got COLD), they caught a bunch of crabs in the numerous crab traps. The home itself was very nice. The kitchen was well equipped, the beds are super comfy and the cargo elevator was a godsend. La Playita Mexican Restaurant down the road is very good. Also enjoyed the food and views at Stingaree. Highly recommend. We will most definitely book this property again.If I could make one suggestion it would be to add keyless entry to the property. We came across via the ferry (which is super close to the property), but then had to drive into town to get the keys and then drive back to the property. Same deal for checkout. Inconvenient after a long day of travel (we drove in from KS).

Much Needed Escape

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location of the home is perfect as it is very close to the ferry and accessible for charter companies. Rod Bending Charters picked us up right at the boat slip and even cleaned our fish on the dock when they dropped us off. This house is a hidden gem loaded with amenities. We got to try our hand at crabbing, enjoyed the swing and hammock, the various games, the lovely breeze off of the ocean and so much more. One thing to remember is that Port Bolivar is a small, quiet community which is nice. However, because of that everything closes earlier than in Galveston. You'll want to make sure you make your dinner plans early! The check in and out process was smooth and the staff at Cobb Real Estate was very friendly and helpful. They even gave us a cool beach bag and a movie rental card that you can use to rent two movies at a time for free during your stay. The only isue we had was that the machine didn't work (or I did something wrong) when returning movies and trying to get new ones. I recommend renting during the hours Cobb is open in case you have the same issue. Otherwise everything was great and we look forward to renting here again soon!

Disappointing…

The house is beautiful, the location ideal, and the view spectacular, but it wasn’t enough to make up for the fact that after arriving in the late evening after an eight hour ride, our group had no bedding, no towels and no toilet paper. A call to the managing company was of no help as I was informed that it was the fault of the linen company who was supposed to provide those items and that it was too late for the problem to be remedied. Thankfully the dollar store was open late and we were able to drive there and buy beach towels so we could shower and we utilized the various throws around the living room furniture as blankets. The following day, after no follow-up call from the managing company by late morning, I again reached out and reminded them that we had no linens and that we could not locate the fishing poles advertised as part of the house. After two more calls to the managing company, the linens and fishing poles were delivered by late afternoon. Since we were only staying until Sunday, that only gave us one morning of fishing as the mosquitos at sundown are treacherous and you must remain indoors. Again, the house is truly beautiful and the dolphins swimming by are magical, but the poor customer service and lack of attention to detail poorly impacted our family weekend.

This would have easily been five stars except for an issue with the boat lift that was ultimately resolved but if I hadn’t contacted the property management company before arrival it would have been a disaster.
