Amazing views

This home was wonderful! The kitchen had everything that we needed to prepare meals and there was a ton of seating. The views from all decks were amazing and there were a ton of birds in the wetlands. We even caught numerous fish from the pier including many keeper black drums. This home is kept well and clean. They thought of nearly everything a family needs on vacation.

Perfect Weekend Getaway home

First and foremost, Joan is the easiest and most accommodating owner I have ever rented from. The home is clean, beautiful and just as pictured. The location is perfect, you close to the seawall but still feel the peace and quiet at the rental. The house is fully stocked with all amenities and we have caught a abundance of fishes under the night time fishing lights. We will definitely be back to rent again.

Fantastic Weekend Getaway

The property was just as described. Lots of room for all adults. Beds were very comfortable, everything was labeled and easy to get to/understand. We made heavy use of the fishing pier and the back patio. Spent lots of time sitting in the breeze. Great location, only a couple minutes to restaurants and beach. Host was fantastic and responsive to all questions. Absolute gem.

Wonderful home

We had the best time here at the Nautical! They have everything you need for cooking and cleaning! The location was just wonderful and the kids had a wonderful time on the dock fishing! It’s located far enough away from the busy summer visitors but only a short drive to multiple beaches that aren’t busy at all and only a short drive to pleasure pier. The property manager was very helpful and answered any questions we had very quickly! This is a wonderful home for big family vacations! We will be going again!

Quick Getaway

This house was perfect for our quick getaway from Katy, TX. We wanted to enjoy the island with family (7 adults 3 kids). The location was close to Moody Gardens/Schlitterbahn for busy days. Then spent relaxing evening on the pier fishing. We will definitely consider staying again! Joan was a pleasure to communicate with and the house was exactly as pictured (clean, well maintained and absolutely beautiful). Jennifer Katy, TX

A long relaxing weekend away with everything you need!

We rent vacation homes often and I must say this was one of our favorites. The location is great, right on West Bay with little traffic. The boys enjoyed fishing from the dock. This home had every item you could ever think of needing, that's a large plus when you want a quick getaway and little stress. The home is in great condition, and we had no issues with items not available or working. The views are gorgeous, and it was just what we needed. The indoor and outdoor furniture is in great condition and there is tons of seating for everyone who stays. We will definitely be back!

Remarkable!

A huge thank you to the owner who could not have been more accommodating. The home is immaculate with much attention to detail. We had the most wonderful time enjoying the heavenly sunsets! The children…and adults…enjoyed designing paper airplanes and sailing them off the upper deck on to the lawn. It was quite a contest. Our 7 year old took the prize! We had a Corn Hole tournament on the lower patio and a domino tournament around the game table in the great room. We fished off the beautiful pier, went for walks and enjoyed the beautiful views. I would not hesitate to book again as it was remarkable!!

Great Location!

We stayed over the new year weekend. This house has everything you need. The owner is very detailed and quick to respond. The rental packet provides everything you'd need to know and expect. We rent a lot and this was by far the most impressive home. Everything is labeled so you know where to look. Rooms, bathrooms, and beds were clean and comfortable. Kitchen is well stocked. We enjoyed the fireplace and porches. Also did some fishing and caught a few specks and reds. It's in a great location.

Can you say amazing!!!!

Joan was so great from the very beginning communications. This was my first VRBO experience and it will be hard to top her service. We had a great first few days of our trip until an unexpected storm formed on the other side of Gulf and caused a storm surge. The flooding started 4 days before the storm hit and it was no where near Galveston. Unfortunately, we had to leave 3 days early and had some difficulties exiting due to high water. Joan was so wonderful and understanding. Her concern for us and our safety was incredible. I will rent this property again and again in the future. Great location and a little piece of Heaven!!! So thankful her family has opened up their home for the rest of us to enjoy! THANK YOU, Joan!

Making memories

The “Nautical” was the best vacation spot by far! We truly enjoyed our stay and the owner, Joan was very responsive to any questions or concerns and she was also thoughtful In her suggestions of things to do during our stay. The house was absolutely gorgeous from the inside out, and the view could not be beat! My family and my brother, and sister-in-law‘s family stayed in this house along with my parents. We celebrated birthdays, Father’s Day, and my parents 50th anniversary. The kitchen was set up with everything we needed to make so delicious meals. The beach is about 5 min away and the strand was 15 minutes. There was lots of fishing going on off the pier especially at night. We caught sheep head, bull reds, trouts, and even a needle nose fish. The birds, cranes, herons, pelicans were seen all over the property especially at dusk on the pier. We look forward to booking again with Joan and making this a yearly family tradition.

Fabulous Bay Home

Our stay at Nautical couldn't have been any better. The well appointed house is beautiful with a wonderful location directly on west bay. We especially enjoyed the roomy deck that wraps around the house, which provided great sunsets each night!! Joan was very helpful answering our questions regarding restaurants and wade fishing locations. And speaking of fishing - bring your pole. The fishing off the private pier is excellent, especially at night under the lights. We're looking forward to our next trip...

About the host

Hosted by Owner/Property Manager

Host profile image
In 2008 Hurricane Ike destroyed our 1960s fishing camp. We built Nautical on our existing property with over 1000 sq. ft. of covered porch including a large screened porch to enjoy expansive views. Nautical's unique location offers incredible views of bay, wetlands, sunrise & gorgeous sunsets. Relax on the porch and enjoy the birds' daily migrations: Brown Pelicans, Pink Roseate Spoonbills, Grey Blue Herons, Great White, Snowy and Cattle Egrets, various Terns & the classic Laughing Sea Gulls. In the winter season elegant White Pelicans float for hours in the pier's fishing lights. A Nautical lazy day: Grab coffee & watch sunrise from porch, eat breakfast, drive the kids 5 minutes to West Beach, collect seashells & build sand castles! Rinse sand off kids in 2 Cabana Showers before throwing burgers on the grill. Enjoy an afternoon of pier fishing, crabbing, or bird watching/cycling along our quiet, mile long dead-end street. Toss bread to seagulls from Nautical's private pier in late afternoon. After dinner, night fish on the pier or relax in screened porch and enjoy the breezes and expansive skyline framing West Bay. Our two master bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms makes Nautical a great place to share with family or close friends and our coastal decorations offer a relaxing setting when you finally head inside. As a host, we enjoy sharing Nautical whether you want to fish, relax or take in Galveston's outdoor activities and theme parks.

Why they chose this property

Our lot is situated in an idyllic waterfront & natural location yet civilization is at our doorstep. (Amusements, restaurants, stores and beach are just 10 minutes away!) We love to fish from our private pier, go fishing by kakay/boat in West Bay and crab the inlets. Bring your kayaks or boat. Head to West Beach to build sand castles, go seashell hunting and ride the waves. The breezes, views, sounds of wave action, bird calls and Nautical's relaxed, coastal interior allow us to escape 'city life'. The 'kid in us' appreciates that Galveston's tourist attractions and restaurants are so nearby. Sunrise, sunset, amazing moon rise and star gazing from Nautical's porches and pier are perfect to gather and toast life on West Bay!

What makes this property unique

UNIQUE NATURAL SETTING ON SECLUDED STREET: Bay front property with private pier and fishing lights and wetlands on the opposite side of the street. Even though its location feels secluded - Galveston's historic seawall is only 6 minutes away! SPORTSMAN'S PARADISE: Enjoy fishing, crabbing, boating or watching boats cruise the bay. If you kayak, bring it because the inlets along West Bay provide great fishing and calm wave/tidal currents for paddling your water toy!! Nautical's private pier is equipped with many cleats. Do not dock boats overnight due to active tide.

INSPIRING SUNSETS & SUNRISES: Bring your camera because God's sunsets and sunrises can be spectacular! In the evening, the lights on the distant mainland, Causeway Bridge and Galveston Island nicely frame West Bay and create a beautiful skyline. From the East Porch and house, the rising moon is memorably huge and quick; Star gaze the constellations from the porches or pier because the stars don't have to compete against bright city lights.

BEST BIRD WATCHING: Enjoy the daily bird migration between the federally protected bird sanctuary islands to the North and federally protected wetlands directly South of Nautical; daily you'll see Brown Pelicans, pink Roseate Spoonbills, Grey Blue Herons, Great White, Snowy and Cattle Egrets, various Terns, other Herons & the classic Laughing Sea Gulls. From Fall through Spring, birds migrate from as far away as South America. As our mantra says, 'It doesn't get any better than this!' ....
