Great House to stay

All the family had a great time. Everyone (including the little ones) enjoyed fishing, kayaking, and being close to the beach and downtown. Place is clean and the owners do a great job with providing everything you need for the stay. I've stayed here multiple times and have enjoyed every one of them.

Stayed here a few times in the past and it's such a fantastic place and even better now. Plenty of space and it was extremely clean. Owners left so many thoughtful items around in case you accidently forget to pack something. Our group of 8 guys made this place base camp for our red fishing charters. Caught lots of small fish from the dock in-between charter trips. Everyone wants to come back and stay here on next year's trip. Plan to be back Oct 2026, if not sooner. Can't recommend enough.

The owner was very nice and thoughtful that answered my question quickly and given detailed instructions. The property was very clean with plenty items for our group needed. This gorgeous property is in great location for various activities such as fishing, crabbing, swimming, kayaking, sunrise/sunset watching, and is close to various restaurants. We preferred our college who would host a friends gathering in this place.

Great Place to stay & Fun Fishing

The new owners have done an awesome job of fixing the place up and we really enjoyed the fishing and relaxing off the docks. There were plenty of cooking supplies and amenities. I will definitely be renting this place in the future and would recommend it to anyone.

We stayed 3 nights and had a fantastic time. We love to fish, so the deck was awesome. It had plenty of room for all my family, the owner had kayaks and life jackets, we brought our own fishing poles but the owner has everything you need to fish(except BYOB- bring your own bait. It is very close to Schlitterbahn so we did a day trip there and to the sea wall beach. DoorDash works great there. The house was very clean and all the towels were supplied. Ohhhh and let’s not forget about all the video game consoles they have. Definitely one of the top 5 reasons we picked this one. I would definitely recommend this rental house, and we might being renting again too. Thanks Keith for all your timely replies and correspondence. We had a great time. 30 year anniversary 2025!

Lovely bay house

Our extended family had a great time at this home. The downstairs area was perfect for the gaggle of kids and teens (they enjoyed the old school arcade games) and the main house had plenty of space for all to hang out and catch up. The dock was great for evening fishing and the house was really well equipped in every way. Close to town and beaches and the host was super responsive. Thanks for a great stay!

Great Fishing and Awesome House

This is my 4th time staying at this house with the current owner and the place is great. The fishing is good from the dock, the house is clean and provides plenty of amenities. I will definitely be returning. I have recommended this place to a friend who stayed last year and will also return with his family. Thanks, Dwayne.

Just me and hubby

It’s the second time we have stayed at this property. The first was with kids and grandkids. Both stays was amazing. All the little details the host does to make you feel welcome is great. From the treats in the fridge and counter, to the fresh flowers, then the first aide kit all the way to a bowl of toiletries that you may have forgotten. Wonderful stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here at this beach house! It was perfect for our family and friends to unwind and get in vacation mode prior to leaving on a cruise. Wish we had booked a couple more days. Perfect location for fishing, crabbing, kayaking, etc! Beautiful community to putt around in our rented golf cart too!

Great property in great location

Everyone in our family (ages 7-39) enjoyed this place! Fishing was great from the dock. The kayaks were fun. The arcade games downstairs kept the kids happy. The only minor negative was not realizing the downstairs and upstairs were not connected. We made it work though. Overall very happy and would book here again.
