Great place and location! It was super clean! We were able to launch and leave the boat at the house which made it so easy to going fishing. Would definitely stay there again. Checking in and out was super easy!

The house was spacious and well-maintained. The beds were comfortable, and we had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The host was very responsive to all our questions and made the check-in/out process super easy. He very thoughtfully provided several lists of things to do and how to access the kayaks and the canal. The property offered great value for the price. We felt like we got a lot for what we paid. We had such a wonderful time and would definitely book this property again.

Great One-Night Stay

We had a one night stay so our son and his friends could fish and go to the beach. House was clean and in good location. Caught some tout of the pier and the boys had fun fishing off the community pier.

Sea Isle-Galveston

We stayed a month in Bob and Carmen’s home, and we had a very nice stay. The neighborhood was nice, it was safe and we made quite a few visits to the neighborhood Marina/bar/restaurant. We rented a golf cart so we could get to the beach a bit easier. The home was clean and the beds were comfortable. We really enjoyed the outdoor deck and we even caught a couple fish off it.

Don't Do It!

The stay started off badly when we entered the code and the door wouldn't open. The opener just told us the doorlock would not open because the deadlock was stuck. After multiple attempts, we called the owner. His response was to tell us WHY it didn't open. You may not be aware, but there is salt air in Galveston and it rusts things. Very educational, but completely unhelpful. Maybe if you know your deadbolt is rusted and doesn't work you should replace it. After innumerable attempts to get in (with no help from the owner) we broke it loose...I guess. It was 80 degrees when we arrived, so we adjusted the thermostat to 72. After about 4 hours it had cooled down to a sweaty 83. We left for several hours and turn off all the lights to cool it down. That brought it down to 81. AC is mostly a joke. Advertised a hot tub. It has one...with 2 ft of water in it and it doesn't work. This could be a great house. But, it needs some maintenance which the owner is obviously unwilling to provide. If it's going to be rented then fix what is broken and be receptive to the people who are renting it. Bring it up to livable standards. I would give this a hard pass.

Enjoyed staying at your place, we had lots of room for our family and loved

Enjoyed our stay at your place, we had lots of room for our family and friends that stopped by to visit !! My only complaint is that the AC didn’t get in the bunk bedroom and fans had to be put in there to help keep them cool. Master bedroom the same ( but cooler than bunk ) the only place the AC worked great was in front BR and when door was closed at night we didn’t get air !! I would walk by their door and feel cold air under the door ! My son closed the windows that were open and closed hurricane vents, that helped a lot, but rooms still hot and the washer didn’t have cold water coming through … hot only !!! Other than that the rest of the place was great and loved staying there !! I hope our next trip there, we’ll stay with you again ! Didn’t know if you knew these problems if not here they are and maybe be fixed before next renters come ! We had fun and enjoyed your place a lot. You might consider letting AC run on 72 instead of 75 !! Thanks Again !! Hope to see you next year if we go ..

Enjoyed walking to the beach and getting to use the boat lift for our boat. Bob is nice, the house is ok but needs a few repairs- faucet in the bathtub was broken and leaking, and the key was difficult to open downstairs area. Overall a good time was had by all though.
