Waterfront Cabin On Bastrop Bayou With A Lighted Fishing Pier

Welcome to Bayou Oaks – Your Waterfront Fishing & Nature Retreat in Demi John

Bayou Oaks is a peaceful and family-friendly waterfront escape nestled along Bastrop Bayou in the quiet, island-style community of Demi John. Whether you’re here to fish, explore, or simply relax by the water, this charming home is the perfect basecamp for adventure and serenity.

With 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and accommodations for up to 6 guests, Bayou Oaks is ideal for small families, friend groups, or dedicated anglers. The home is comfortably furnished and includes all linens at no extra charge, including sheet sets, bath towel sets, beach towels, and kitchen linens—all provided for your convenience.

Sleeping arrangements include:
• 1 Double Bed
• 1 Twin Trundle Set
• 1 Single Couch
• 1 Day Bed

Out back, you’ll find what truly sets Bayou Oaks apart—private fishing piers where you can cast a line for trout, redfish, and flounder under the brightest lights on the bayou. Bring your boat and keep it tied up at the pier for quick access to the West Galveston Bay complex.

In the evenings, gather around the large fire pit with seating for 6+, or enjoy a laid-back dinner at the picnic table area while the breeze rolls off the water.

You’re also just steps away from Captain Mark’s Marina, a full-service spot with fuel, ice, drinks, snacks, and a boat ramp. On weekends, the marina is the heart of local activity, often hosting fishing tournaments, cook-offs, golf cart parades, and fundraisers—giving you a true taste of the Demi John community.

Right across the bayou, the Bastrop Bayou Public Fishing Area features a 200-foot lighted pier, paved parking, and an additional boat ramp, making it an angler’s paradise.

Outdoor enthusiasts will love exploring the nearby Brazoria National Wildlife Refuge, just down County Road 476. Spanning nearly 46,000 acres, the refuge offers hiking, birdwatching, and wildlife viewing across salt marshes, freshwater wetlands, coastal prairies, and forests. Don’t miss the Middle Bayou Trail, a 2-mile elevated path with sweeping prairie views, or the Big Slough Auto Tour and Boardwalk, where you can spot alligators, turtles, birds, and butterflies in their natural habitats.

Looking to relax on the sand? Surfside Beach is only 8 minutes away by car! Pack your cooler and head over for a sun-soaked beach day, or keep the fishing going in nearby Drum Bay, Christmas Bay, West Galveston Bay, the Intracoastal Canal, or the Gulf of Mexico.

Need even more space? Ask us about Bayou Oaks Too, another wonderful property we manage just a few doors down in Demi John.

Whether you’re planning a fishing weekend, a nature-filled getaway, or a cozy family retreat, Bayou Oaks is your headquarters for adventure, comfort, and unforgettable coastal charm.

Amazing View

We had a great time. The location is very relaxing and we really enjoyed our stay. We appreciate the host being on site but not intrusive. We really appreciated all the extra firewood so we could keep our fire burning during our entire visit. We highly recommend to everyone!

Beautiful All Around

First entering the home the house is a pictures and very beautiful inside. So fresh and clean and well put together with the decorations. Second entering the back yard is what really caught our eye. Just and overall nice set up leading to the pier to fish. We caught so many types of fish, crabs, and two alligator gar but almost caught three. It was just so much fun hanging out at this location. We will definitely love to spend time at your place again. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with the Williams Family.

Relaxing and fun stay

We appreciated the hospitality from the owners who were on-site, but gave us all the privacy we needed. The cottage was clean and cozy, the grounds were beautiful, and the dock was well equipped including a continuous running live well! Thanks Richard for a great time at the cottage!

Off the beaten path

The property at Bayou Oaks was clean and just as described. The owners are on sight and are available, but not nosey. Dining and shopping were 20 minutes away and an easy drive. We intend to go back for fishing and relaxing.

Peace and serenity

We happened upon this listing while looking for a (last minute) spring break getaway. I took my mother, my 11 yoa daughter and her friend. The girls absolutely LOVED the upstairs “crowsnest” and porch. Bayou Oaks was absolutely perfect! Only 15 minutes from Surfside beach. I can’t wait to take my husband back for a grown up fishing date weekend . Thank you so much to the Elliots , who were wonderful hosts.

Weekend of fishing and relaxing

Beautiful home, wonderful location and extremely peaceful. Just what my husband and I were hoping for the weekend. We fished in Bastrop and Christmas Bays with great success. Took advantage of the private pier on the property to fish at night. Also did some kayaking. Marina is less than 5 minutes away. Owners are a delight and shared tips about the area. Look forward to a return stay!
