Great Stay! Great Fishing!

This place was great, and the host was awesome! The fishing was amazing! Unfortunately, the downstairs was not cleaned very well and had several bugs and a few roaches. Once we cleaned it up ourselves no issues. Overall great stay and we would rent it again.

relaxing stay, worries melt away

Walking out onto the deck or dock just melts the stress away. The check in process was quick and easy. Tim helped made sure that we were able to get in and check out easily with detailed info and pictures. The upstairs kitchen is well stocked beautifully put together. The primary suite was large with a spacious bathroom. We enjoyed the fishing. Didn't have any keepers, but the fishing lights really helped to see the activity below. Lots of different areas to sit and enjoy the breeze and birds. The grill and firepit was a plus.

Can't wait to return

We had a great weekend at the property. Even with some rainy weather, the fishing was great! The house had everything we needed and worked perfectly for our family. We had to contact Tim one time and he addressed the issue promptly and we continued our great weekend getaway! We definitely look forward to staying at the home again. Thanks, Tim!

Bay Fishing with Framily

We had an amazing time at this property. The owner connected with us frequency before, during, and after to ensure everything was great. The outdoor area was perfect and the inside was super clean and comfy for our two families, 4 adults and 5 kids. The older boys really enjoyed staying downstairs and having their own space. Looking forward to coming back!

Wonderful stay

Tim was very nice to work with and the place was perfect for 11 of us! The kids had fun staying downstairs and loved the popcorn machine and Nintendo switch. This was our first time staying on the bay side and we really enjoyed it! Beach was so close by and we had fun fishing, swimming, and paddle boarding/ kayaking in the bay. House had everything we needed!

Nice bay house

Great location on the bay and had great time there with family for 4 days. Fishing was so so. Caught some, mostly non keepers and the crabs take your bait. Typical for Galveston Bay. Unfortunately the mosquitoes were horrible by the thousands swarming everywhere which is no fault of owner. Just made it a bit miserable at times to to be outside and fish or shower and of course they find their way inside. Bring lots and lots of yard guard and OFF. Overall nice place and stay.

One of the best

We have been renting vacation homes for 30 years and this is one of the best.You can not beat location and the views. The owner was very responsive to questions. We stayed for a month. I nearly cried when it was time to go home. We have already booked next year. Highly recommend.

Great Getaway

Fantastic property and location on the water in Galveston with a short walk to the beach. Decks were large with plenty of seating and amazing sunset views. Lots of areas to fish and watch the birds:. You could even canoe out to a small island which the kids enjoyed. House was clean and had plenty of room. Downstairs area was perfect for teenagers to hang out. Great family getaway!

Fantastic Family Fun!

Our family of 12 thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Location is perfect for fishing, sunsets, the beach with a fantastic unobstructed view of the Bay. We caught Speckled Trout off the dock, and gigged for Flounder close by. We all enjoyed the canoe and the Kayak. Space was perfect for our group and the house was really nice.

About the host

Hosted by Tim McCarble

Host profile image
We are native Houstonians and absolutely love our second home. This is our happy place where we enjoy the scenery and having family and friends join us for great times and great fishing.

Why they chose this property

This property is our second home. It is not a "rental" property but a home in which we are sharing. We take great pride and ownership in our home by the updates and the amazing amenities. We share spices and condiments along with down pillows, fluffy towels and high-end mattresses for your comfort, just as we would want to enjoy.

What makes this property unique

Sitting along side and over Galveston Bay, this home is a great location for fishing and wildlife watching along with boating, swimming, tubing and just relaxing and watching the sunset while sitting over the water.
