This coastal cabin backs up to miles of saltwater grass with some fishing right off the deck however the fishing is not the best due to fresh water flowing downstream. Bring your own Kayak or small boat and you can enjoy some laid back R&R I want to let boating folks know that even though we are on the water the bayou is land locked and there is no access to Galveston Bay from this location. Louis Bait camp one mile down the road is the closest place to put your boat in the cost is $5.

We have stayed at this property before. We were pleased again. Gary is very informative and helpful.
We enjoy the convenience to Galveston and fishing from the home. Family friendly, neighbors are friendly.
If you’re looking for a great spot to fish away from all the tourists, this is the place. It is not for the glamorous and modern lifestyle.
Definitely a fishing cabin. We had ability to cook or not. Master bed was comfortable. Didn’t use rest. Dock was good. Found out what “ coastal flooding “ means with beautiful weather… tides.
Host was nice and returned calls. Able to stay additional evening which was nice.
Caught lots of crabs and small trouts. Will keep in our list of fishing spots.

This could be a very nice place to stay. It was quiet with great sunset views as stated. However the dock had been changed since the pictures were put up and we could not fish off of it. The house needs some TLC as we experienced multiple water leaks and plumbing problems. The owner was quick to respond but we had 3 different problems in 5 days which was very frustrating.
We loved this property. My son is wheelchair bound and the ramp made things so easy. The home has enough room for 9 easily. 2 more even if needed. There were 6 of us and we were so comfortable. The owner just built a new fishing deck which was beautiful. We fished and crabbed. Pelicans stayed close for us to see. We used the barbecue pit provided as well. Very friendly neighbor who even let us borrow tools that we had left at home for our crab pot. Definitely want to come back!!! Communication with owner was clear, friendly and quick. Very well stocked rental.
This was a decent property. Gary was awesome to work with and the price was great. One thing I’d say is the actual town isn’t pretty. Some of the houses you drive by to get to the house are run down or burnt out. I know the coast of TX so no big deal for us. If you’ve stayed at some of the nicer properties in Galveston or other places(ie way more expensive and “professionally managed”) just know that this property isn’t like those. That being said- it was safe, plenty of room for everyone, and we would stay again! I can’t emphasize enough how easy Gary was to work with.

Okay place to stay
Over all we enjoyed staying at this place.. there were plenty of beds for everyone and it was nice and quiet. The house could use a deep cleaning but was decent. I would stay here again.
We took our boys on a mini vacation for spring break we had a great time Gary was right there ready and willing to answer any questions we had the weather was not that great but we still enjoyed our stay ... everything we needed was available in the house the kids really liked the swings on the lower deck
Very clean house to stay in. My husband and I enjoy fishing everyday. Quiet neighborhood and friendly neighbors. We really enjoyed our stay here and will definitely book again!!
Really enjoyed the property and it’s amenities. The kids loved the paddle boat and the fishing dock. The place was just the right size and I will be looking to stay here again. Only minutes from the beach. Great place.
This was an amazing nst5ay for the guys. They were so comfortable and had such a relaxing time. They were there on business but were able to have some relaxing fun also. The owner was a delight and very kind. Thank you Gary for a wonderful stay.
This was a perfect spot. It was a great blessing to have a place close to Galveston which was our real destination but this place had everything so we found that we made one of our days specifically about staying there and enjoying the water and paddle boat and fishing with the kids:) thank you Gary. We will be going back again
