Bayou Vista, Texas
This is a 3 bedroom 2 bath canal home with boat dock and direct water access for fishing. There is outdoor dining area for you to enjoy the water view and ocean breeze right from the backyard. The house is only 10 minutes away from Galveston island where you can enjoy the beach time and all kinds of entertainments. We put our hearts and souls into this house to make it beautiful and comfortable and fun for you. We hope you enjoy it!
House nice. I felt like we were being watched all the time by neighbors. Very uncomfortable ?.
The property was nice, the covered patio was great for shade. The laundry room was downstairs and that was perfect for noise and the heat from the dryer. Strange thing to mention but it makes a difference. The neighborhood location is perfect because it is away from the traffic of Galveston but close enough to enjoy all the benefits of the island and you are directly on the water! I appreciate James and his family sharing their home with us.
I would have loved to have given this property a 5 but dealing with hosts in my job position, I tend to critique. The host himself was awesome, very accommodating, and responded quickly to any questions that we might have encountered. I was a little disappointed in the unit though. Simple fixes just things to be aware of for future renters to get the most out of their vacation and staying there during down time. Down stairs bedroom was very isolated with no TV, dresser to put clothes in, and a small refrigerator to put drinks in. For those disabled and handicapped makes it difficult for them due to the stairs. The kitchen was fabulous, actually my dream kitchen. Beautiful and homey but again. We had 4 adults with only two coffee cups if you wanted to short out on the porch in the mornings watching the fish jump. You supplied coffee K cups but no cream or sugar. The vent hadn't been cleaned in forever affecting the airflow. The bedrooms had no dressers or a mirror in them when getting ready and having a place to store your clothes. The beds were comfortable, the pillows, not so much and not enough. And there are no blankets if needed, since people like different temperatures. So my thoughts are this, if a motel can charge what they do with accommodations, you would only hope that someone who hosts would have that same concept. If you accommodate six people max, make sure you have enough for everyone. Now on the good side I loved everything else! The fenced in backyard for the dogs, the dock was beautiful especially at night when you can see everyone's lights, The ability to eat dinner outside. My favorite is still the dock and kitchen!!! I would definitely recommend this place!!! They're just a few inexpensive things that could make it even better!!!
We really enjoyed this house. The owner was very friendly and communicated throughout the process from booking to check out. The house was absolutely spotless. I was a little worried about the location being 10 minutes away from the beaches in Galveston, but the neighborhood was so quiet and peaceful! The drive into Galveston was really quick and easy. The beds were more firm than we were used to, but that's a personal preference. There's a nice laundry room downstairs. We made several meals at the house, and had everything we needed. We would definitely stay there again.
Thw home was spacious and clean. Everything we needed was right there. Fishing from the backyard was awesome! We caught fish and crab each night. We enjoyed our week at this home and loved being away from the hustle and bustle of the beach, but close enough to go to the strip and restaurants each day.
We really enjoyed our stay. Everything we needed was there and the house was clean. Kids loved being able to fish right there on the dock.
The property is nice and was clean. It was perfect for our dogs and close by to stores, gas, and attractions! The host, James, was ALWAYS available and in touch with me upon my arrival and departure.
Weather was perfect, cool breeze in the morning and evening that made outdoor activities fun. Clean and well equipped house right on the canal. I highly recommend this property.
Everything you need is at your finger tips even extra spices for your dishes that you make up. My friends and I had a wonderful time and plan on returning soon. Our host was courteous and kind when communicating with us.
