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 Fellas annual Fishing Trip
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 .

Perfect Weekend
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!

Our family of 9 stayed for 4 nights. We had plenty of room and the house was well stocked with everything needed. House is beautifully decorated and has many personal amenities like games, treats, coffee bar, on sight laundry, etc. Caught many species of fish right off the dock. Really enjoyed down time where we able to just relax and enjoy the views and quiet neighborhood. Will definitely plan to stay here again!

Great property in a nice quiet neighborhood, out of the mainstream but still close to several island attractions. The house was very clean and well stocked. After a day at the beach we enjoyed wonderful relaxing evenings with the family out back as the grand kids fished the canal off the deck. Definitely worth a return stay.
Great property with lots to offer.

This house was beautiful inside and out! We found so many extras which we have not seen in any other rental, the attention to detail was outstanding. We had a family weekend to celebrate a birthday and found this house to be perfect. The owners thought of everything, we felt right at home and are definitely renting this one again. The house location was great and it had plenty of space to dock our boat. Thanks again for everything!
