Full kitchen with all pot & pans and silverware. Dining area inside home and two tables out on 240 square foot deck outside ,40" flat screen HD cable TV with Internet and Wi-Fi . Large fishing pier with boat ramp, bay and bayou back up to this property, great for jet skis small boats and excellent for Kayak fishing A paddle boat & Kayak can be rented for fifty dollars extra. Fish out the back door. Galveston's Moody Gardens , Schlitterbahn and the Galveston Strand district only 15 minuets away. NASA is 15 miles away along with Tangiers outlet mall, Bay fishing 1/2 mile away with access to the Gulf of Mexico. This Bayou house is great for couples that like the quite and beautiful sunsets. The home is on the water and miles from traffic yet you can be at Kemah Boardwalk or Galveston beaches in 15-20 minutes. The Bistro Cafe down the street offer some of the best seafood and Italian food in the area . If you want a cold beer The Palms offers the coldest beer in Texas only 3 blocks away. Here's the good news if your looking for a place to relax, have your favorite drink, Bar-B- Que (2 pits on premises) and just watch the sunset, this is a great place to be. This coastal cabin backs up to miles of saltwater grass with some fishing right off the deck however the fishing is not the best due to fresh water flowing downstream. Bring your own Kayak or small boat and you can enjoy some laid back R&R I want to let boating folks know that even though we are on the water the bayou is land locked and there is no access to Galveston Bay from this location. Louis Bait camp one mile down the road is the closest place to put your boat in the cost is $5.

Great fishing spot
If you’re looking for a great spot to fish away from all the tourists, this is the place. It is not for the glamorous and modern lifestyle. Definitely a fishing cabin. We had ability to cook or not. Master bed was comfortable. Didn’t use rest. Dock was good. Found out what “ coastal flooding “ means with beautiful weather… tides. Host was nice and returned calls. Able to stay additional evening which was nice. Caught lots of crabs and small trouts. Will keep in our list of fishing spots.

Bayou
This could be a very nice place to stay. It was quiet with great sunset views as stated. However the dock had been changed since the pictures were put up and we could not fish off of it. The house needs some TLC as we experienced multiple water leaks and plumbing problems. The owner was quick to respond but we had 3 different problems in 5 days which was very frustrating.

Cozy Fishing Camp
We loved this property. My son is wheelchair bound and the ramp made things so easy. The home has enough room for 9 easily. 2 more even if needed. There were 6 of us and we were so comfortable. The owner just built a new fishing deck which was beautiful. We fished and crabbed. Pelicans stayed close for us to see. We used the barbecue pit provided as well. Very friendly neighbor who even let us borrow tools that we had left at home for our crab pot. Definitely want to come back!!! Communication with owner was clear, friendly and quick. Very well stocked rental.

I’d stay again
This was a decent property. Gary was awesome to work with and the price was great. One thing I’d say is the actual town isn’t pretty. Some of the houses you drive by to get to the house are run down or burnt out. I know the coast of TX so no big deal for us. If you’ve stayed at some of the nicer properties in Galveston or other places(ie way more expensive and “professionally managed”) just know that this property isn’t like those. That being said- it was safe, plenty of room for everyone, and we would stay again! I can’t emphasize enough how easy Gary was to work with.

This was a perfect spot. It was a great blessing to have a place close to Galveston which was our real destination but this place had everything so we found that we made one of our days specifically about staying there and enjoying the water and paddle boat and fishing with the kids:) thank you Gary. We will be going back again

Close proximity to area attractions
Only a 30 minute drive into Galveston to Moody Gardens and the beach. The July 4th holiday made it a bit more of a challenge but well worth it. Highly recommend Louis’ Baitcamp Restaurant just a few minutes away! Home was perfect for our family with grown children and grandchild…separate bedrooms and bathrooms. Owner was very responsive to questions.

Hitchcock 21'
This was one of the most relaxing vacations we've had as a family since the kids became adults . We fished, trapped crabs, paddle boat, ate where the locals ate , enjoyed the sunrises &sunsets , & the drive into Galveston beaches took just a few minutes. The owner was great & the neighbors were friendly. This is a low- key non/ fluffy atmosphere, but if you like the country type atmosphere, this is your place! We will be back !
