Nice Property!

Super spacious home on a beautiful canal. The house was a little worn down but it was what we needed for a quick getaway. We rented a gold cart and the beach was a quick drive away! Plenty of parking, we fished off the deck (with the correct fishing license), the balcony was super relaxing and peaceful.

short but fun stay

we stayed here for a night and we had a blast! the house was clean and comfortable for us. so so close to the beach we went and walked it a few times. We did some hot dogs and burgers on the grill provided which was nice since we do not have one at home at the moment. We we able to easily fit all 3 of our cars here. Pet friendly too and right on the bay!

Perfect Weekend

We had the best time. It was very nice place and a quiet neighborhood! We went to the beach access across the way and it was the perfect quiet location! The house itself was great. The rooms were perfect for our families. We each brought 1-3 kids! Definitely would stay again!

Great Stay

This is a grand house that accommodated our large group. The house is equipped with a fully stocked kitchen, the restrooms had plenty of towels and starter toiletries. The location is perfect for fishing right off the canal. The beach was a 3 minute drive. I would rent here again. Check in was super easy and we had great communication with owner throughout our stay.

Jackson’s Take Galveston

This was a great property vacation rental, from the time we got there the owner communicated with us from beginning to end the property was very clean & the house and rooms are very spacious my only suggestion would be for the dryer to get hotter other than that I would definitely stay at this property again!

Relaxing time

Despite the summer heat, this placed offered plenty of shade and relaxing spots to chill out and spend time with family and friends. The beach less than 5 minutes by car or fishing from your own deck on the canal, everyone could have the space and activity they wanted.

Such an amazing stay!

My family and I loved this place! It's in a peaceful neighborhood and right on the water! Something I really loved was how much natural light came into the home from the large windows in the common areas! It's big enough for families or groups of friends and has everything you need, including a fully equipped kitchen and cozy living areas. The deck outside was great for hanging out and enjoying the beautiful views. You could also go fishing or kayaking, or just chill by the water. It was a fantastic place to stay and we will be back for a longer stay in the future!
