We had a fabulous stay at this fantastic beach house meets fishing heaven. From very easy communication with property manager/owners, attentive to last minute needs and checking in for any requests, to fantastic location for relaxing, birding, boating, fishing… and a comfortable space to relax after you sunburn from enjoying too much outdoors.

Me and my family came down to Freeport for a few days! This was a good location, especially if you like to go crabbing and fishing. Best part is you can do it right outside the house and you don’t have to leave. Our host Charles, was very friendly and answered any and all questions I had.

Great views!

The property itself, the location is amazing. On the water with great views and access to big water is easy. The home itself is clean and very comfortable upstairs. There's also some extra bedroom downstairs. We actually accidentally cracked the stove top and the owner was quick to respond and gracious. I real pleasure to work with and took care of everything for us.

Vacation after Storm

Did not find out until Saturday night before Monday check in that power was restored. Tried to cancel with owner and get refund but he would not give. Only recourse was stay or rebook . We received email from VRBO on Saturday saying would be no issues if cancelled but they were no help with owner. He was firm come or rebook no refund!!!We had conflicting schedules so we had to go. Arrived On Tuesday and left on Saturday. Beach was closed until Friday but owner said they were open all the time. Trash and mosquitoes everywhere in abundance. Ice maker did not work and gas grill did not work. Bedroom on ground floor smelled so bad no one could stay in it only used for storage. Owner did give access to ice machine in his locked area.We thought VRBO had more input when using their site to rent vacation rental.Owner did call several times.

4th of July Family Trip At Margarita Sunset on the Canal!

What an incredible home & owner!! Our 16 year old loved her private room on the bottom of the beach house. The kids room very comfortably slept all 4 of our younger ones. And the masters suite was pefect for us. The views from the deck were breath taking!! The canal, the lower deck and the fresh air and breeze from the palm trees is something we will always think about! Pure perfection. Also the beautiful 2 pergolas on the upper decks made for the best morning and evening conversations. The staircases leading to the decks are also perfect with a gate you can secure at night. Bring your fishing rods as it has perfect access to the water. And the beach was a quick one minute drive across the road with free beach parking access. Very painless booking, check-in and check-out. We will be rebooking at Charles' house. Its gorgeous inside and out and was perfect for our blended family of 7. We made memories to last an entire life-time. I will be thinking about the margarita sunsets for a long time!!

Perfect family getaway

This is in the perfect location; right next to the boat slip. Close to beaches, town, and restaurants. Galveston and the historical pier are right up the road. The host of this property was amazing, quick with response to all needs. My family and I had a great time fishing and crabbing right off the back dock, exploring and beaching. I highly recommend this property for your next getaway. A+!

Christmas Bay Stay

Everyone enjoyed the stay. Great location, quiet and peaceful. Beautiful sunrise and sunsets with a constant breeze on the deck and by the dock. Rented Kayaks to fish Christmas Bay but the winds made it difficult. We didn't catch any fish, but we caught several Blue Crab right along the dock. Also caught a huge Stone Crab but had to release it since it only had one claw. The description needs a minor update and the small upstairs bathroom smelled bad on arrival, that was solved when a dirty wet rag was found and discarded. The downstairs room had a slight unknown chemical smell. The place could use some updates due to the salt water air. There is a loose board on the dock which needs to be secured. The board teter toters when you step on the end. We had no issues which would of caused us to contact the owner or maintenance. Beach access is straight across the Blue Water Highway where you can drive to your spot, park and enjoy. The beach was very clean. The location is great with easy access to the beach and Christmas Bay. The TPWD boat ramp is a short walk away especially if you have a boat or kayaks. All in all, we enjoyed our stay.

Awesome and unique experience

My family really enjoyed staying here. There was so much to do! My 11 year old daughter fished for the first time in her life and caught a fish on her very first cast! We caught crabs off the doc (some good sized blue crabs and I think a stone crab). We were able to rent kayaks (kayak rental company delivered to the house). This place is great for pets - our dog loved her walks on the beach. Getting food was easy - we ordered delivery from the HEB in Freeport. On thing that really stood out and is undersold in the listing - the birds! We saw lots of birds that I have never seen before in my life - and right from the comfort of the house - you can watch them for hours - they put on a good show! Owner is very responsive and helpful. House itself was clean and in good working order. Beds were comfortable. Highly recommend!

Awesome location, great house, great time!

We had a blast! The house was nice and the photos in the listing give an accurate depiction. The kids caught a meals worth of keeper crabs off the dock. Caught fish in the bay and on the surf. That is a great beach and only about a 5 minute walk. Downstairs shower was very convenient! Most important things to me on a coast house - good AC & good water pressure in the shower and both boxes were checked. We'd love to come back here!

Surfside Haven

Excellent location by canal and Christmas bay with easy access to the water. Separate enough from the public access area. Short drive to the beach (2 min). Well maintained and well stocked house with plenty of space and lovely decks for watching the sunrise/sunset. Would definitely recommend staying here. Disappointed in the 3rd "bedroom" . Just bunk beds, shower/toilet and laundry in a converted storage area. Maybe a hideaway for teens, but not suited as a separate room for a 3rd family.
