Freeport, Texas
Fisherman's Paradise is a cozy and cute fishing cabin right on the Intra-coastal Waterway in Bridge Harbor. This house will have you spending all your time outside with its covered deck, the concrete area under house, grassy yard, pond, swing, picnic table, BBQ pit, and so much more.
Wake in the morning and fall asleep at night to the sound of the waves. Smell the ocean spray, watch the waves roll in and observe nature all around you. Gorgeous sunsets, brown pelicans soaring across the sky and dolphins playing in the waves are just a few sights that will remain with you long after you have arrived home and tug at your heart until you return.
I thought I would provide some links that would give you some information about things to do in our area.
I sincerely hope you enjoy our sweet little coastal community which was established in 1821 as "Old Velasco". You can read a little more about our history at The History of Old Velasco – Surfside Texas. We are on a small island called "Follett's Island" we are connected to Galveston via the "San Luis Toll Bridge". Galveston is a short 40 minute drive along Bluewater Hwy.
Pets are welcome at this home. 2 pets max. w/ a non-refundable pet fee. (ask if additional pets are allowed).
I will start off by saying this house is really cute, and the fishing dock was amazing. We had a great time fishing, especially at night with the bright light they have in the water to attract the fish. Upon arriving we had a small issue getting into the house because they didn’t send the right access code. That was fixed pretty promptly and we were able to gain access without any other problems. The house is roomy. Huge living and kitchen area! The bedrooms are nice and everything seemed lovely. Here’s the bad — The bathroom was merely wiped down. The cleanliness subpar. The small shower had clearly not been scrubbed in some time. The grout was discolored, and the caulking was molded. The rug right outside the shower you could tell hadn’t been washed and underneath the floor was very damaged. When we stripped the beds on the morning of check out, the protective cover on the mattresses were very discolored in spots giving the indication that they too hadn’t been washed in some time, if ever. Same with the pillows. There were a few staple items I expected the house to provide that were not. There was no hand soap in the house that we were able to locate. There was only a tiny bit of dish soap left. When I say tiny, it was a few drops in a travel size container. There was no dishwashing detergent. There were only 2 rolls of toilet paper. No extra trash bags. There was a coffee maker, however the filters they had for it weren’t even the right ones. These were all things that I expected the house to provide. Especially the dish soap and detergent for the dishwasher since the check out instructions were to have the dishes clean and put away. The mattresses on the beds were by no means luxury. The a/c seemed to have a hard time keeping up and took well into the middle of the night to finally get to temp. But as soon as the sun came out, it was unable to stay at temp for the remainder of day. There were a few loose boards on the balcony that when you stepped, they were either soft from damage or just not nailed down and would try and come up. Over all, the house has the potential to be a really great house. It needs a deep clean! And better up keep. Especially for the price you’re paying to stay there. If these things I have listed were fixed, we would consider staying again because the neighborhood is great, and we loved being right on the canal and fishing.
Had some trouble checking in but property manager took care of it. A few minor issues but nice place overall. I would stay again
The place is very outdates does not come closed to the pictures online. The front porch was very unsafe many loose boards, the only door in was a glass door that was very difficult to open. We couldn't hardly get in the house. The only shower was so small you couldn't hardling get in and I'm only 5'. No hand towels or wash cloth. We had to run to the nears store to purchase some along with bath towels the there were disgusting. And you forgot to mention that the only view you have in this place was gas and oil barges. Extremely disappointed completely ruin our anniversary. Louisa Stelly
