    We travel often and this was one of the absolute best rentals we have stayed in! Location and hospitality was amazing with the feel of being in our own home.

    This was one of the cleanest and most well stocked houses I’ve ever stayed in. The layout was great for family gathering, and being on the water was so relaxing. We loved this house and hope to be back!

    We just can’t believe what a great trip this was. We’ve never been to Galveston and we just ended up getting in the best home. It was so worth the price. And then we had to bug the hose and they were so kind and generous and just helped us out whenever we needed it. If we can come back, we’ll definitely stay here again. If we could give it a 5+ we would

    The greatness of the trip started before check in , Ms Raye allow me to arrive early to avoid traveling home 50 mile away , I work 30 minutes from the Rental , The house was perfect , the location ,the view , the neighbors was great . I've stayed in a few rentals in the past 8 years ,this home was far beyond the best . All of my guest couldn't say enough great things about the home , My crew fished for 4 day ended our trip with not one fish in the cooler to take home , The only thing the crew could say we're coming back to this house next June for sure , The home has a very relaxed feeling about it . you'll have to stay to feel the true affects . Raye and Bill thank you for allowing us to have a memory . Mr Chicken

    We had an amazing time with friends over Memorial weekend and Bill and Raye's place! Their home was clean, modern, and had all the amenities anyone would need. We definitely plan to book again if we are in Galveston in the future!!

    We had the absolute best time at Bob’s on the Bayou! This house was the absolute best stocked vacation rental I have ever stayed in. Raye’s communication was stellar and she left absolutely no detail out. The house is even more beautiful than the pictures. My son (9) and husband enjoying fishing from the dock while my girls (2 & 4) loved the toys that were provided and soaking in the tub. My parents and in-laws also traveled with us and there was plenty of room for everyone. We hope to return sometime soon!

    These folks went out of their way to make sure everything was there so you didn't need anything. Would stay again!
