All I hoped for and more

We had a wonderful, relaxing stay, only issue I had was the stay was not long enough!! The house and tiki bar is much nicer in person, our favorite was the Tiki Bar, hands down the coolest out of every house we’ve stayed in through VRBO, we started going through VRBO since it was Homeaway.com, we’ve yet to have a bad experience with any of the homes and host!! I HIGHLY recommend this beach house if your looking for a quiet, clean and relaxing get away, we lacked nothing!! The host was very professional, and responded immediately to any of my questions!! We will DEFINITELY be staying there again!! Also, the outdoor shower was awesome!!

Sea Isle

The property had everything we needed. My grandson loved the crab traps. The only things missing were a ladder to get out of the water and maybe a kayak.

Amazing house!

We loved the house! Everything about it. We fished off the deck and caught so many fish and even some crab and a stingray! The back bar and deck area was our favorite hang out spot!

Excellent Vacation Rental in Isla de Sol/Jamaica Beach

Great vacation home on a canal in West Galveston. We caught a total of 15 fish from deck (only one keeper Trout but at least it was fun!). Was very clean and had everything we needed in kitchen to cook dinner every night. Has a full frig downstairs for easy access to ice, drinks and snacks. The deep jet tub worked great. The home is on the same street from the West End Marina with a store, live bait shop, and marine fuel (but you do have to go to Jamaica Beach or San Luis pass to launch boat- the boat ramp and fishing pier is off limits to vacation rentals and only for residents) not to mention to-go Rita's!!!

Wouldn't Stay Again

Lots of issues; roaches, cleanliness upon arrival was not up to standards, light bulbs out, jacuzzi tub did not work at all(very disappointing), upstairs decking was dangerous, door knob stripped. Second bathroom is downstairs secluded, limited supplies despite what was listed. The house needs a lot of work/upkeep. Unfortunately wouldn't stay here again :(

Great house close to the beach!

My family of 4 rented this property as it was in the same neighborhood our friends were staying in. The house is very spacious, beds are comfy, lots of seating areas. Patios were great, place for a boat in the water if you had one. Used the crab traps off the deck and caught one. We fished a lot off the deck. Great time, peaceful and quiet.

Great spot on canal

We had a wonderful time here. Launched our kayaks, went fishing, went swimming and lounged on our rafts in the canal. The community is nice and the neighbors very friendly.

Besides not being able to communicate with someone to answer questions ahead of the trip and the trash cans outside not being dumped, it was a great stay! The location was nice, the house was amazing, besides the communication and outside trash cans, it was all worth it! Would do it again!
