About this property

The Barnacle--Perfect for the Fishermen...

If The Barnacle is not available, check out our listing, The Bunker; same location, same price, same quality.

After a hard day's fishing, what better place to relax than in convenient, comfortable surroundings in this fishing village. Located in a well-maintained, safe neighborhood, this apartment is inside the boat barn which makes for quiet, restful sleeping conditions. The bedroom has accommodations for four with a twin over full bunk and a full over full bunk (4 beds). The bathroom has a huge shower and is stocked with soaps and paper products. There is a big screen TV where you can catch all of the latest Houston sports games and news and basic programming. Complimentary WiFi in addition to DirectTV Stream are provided. ROKU remote.
There is a covered carport, propane grill, and yard furniture for relaxing outside when not fishing. Security cameras are not armed during your stay protecting your privacy. Outdoor electric outlets and water hydrants are handy for charging your equipment and washing down your boat. If the main house on this property is rented, parking may be at a premium, but you can use the rock drive in front for parking.

We do ask that you do not clean fish/ducks on the premises. Also, absolutely do not throw entrails in the trash bins. The stench permeates the neighborhood for a week.

We love pets, but we ask that you do not leave your pet alone all day while you are gone without kenneling it.. There is a $50/pet fee in the booking process if not deducted at booking, it will be deducted from the damage deposit after your departure.

These accommodations are for 4 people only, including kids. .

Enjoy your stay and do not hesitate to ask if you have any questions.

Clean and easy

Property was very easy to check in, the property was very clean and the owners were super nice and very well at communicating. It was easy for us to come and go at the early morning hours to hunt and fish and come back after dark with no issues. Able to park our 2 cars and our boat there too with no problem.

FINtastic!

This was the perfect place to stay for our fishing getaway! The owners were very kind and responsive. The homes had everything we needed and then some. Multiple properties available at the same location was a nice surprise, as we were able to add an additional house and invite more family. We will definitely be back and recommend to others!

Good base camp for fishing trip

There were 2 of us and the space was great. The bunk beds are solid for 4 people, but the space might be a little small for 4 guys with all your gear. Good parking for boat & Truck. You will have to disconnect truck.

Our Favorite POC Getaway

We’ve stayed here several times and absolutely love it. I couldn’t give a higher recommendation to this place or the hosts. It’s always clean and the hosts are accommodating and will answer any questions you may have. We will definitely be back!

Quiet get away

The bungalow and barnacle were super cute, well stocked with everything you need. The beds were super comfy and the chairs outside under the covered porch out looking the pond and all the birds eating and feeding the baby birds was awesome. The kids liked fishing and a short drive to the beach was great. We had a small little issue with the AC but Mr. Hans quickly responded and had someone come out to check on it. We would definitely recommend and we look forward to coming back.

Quick Get Away

We brought our 1yr old pup to take duck hunting. There was enough room in the livingroom/kitchen area for her travel kennel. Beds were comfy, shower was awesome and the tv had plenty Chanel’s to watch. We met the owners and they were super nice! Property was beautiful with ducks in the pond!
