With a coveted location just four miles from Schlitterbahn Waterpark Galveston and Moody Gardens, and fantastic amenities that include a private dock and a spacious covered deck overlooking the water with Adirondack chairs, this home is waiting to help you start making beautiful new memories. The bright and open living room enjoys high, vaulted ceilings, a flatscreen TV, and lots of comfortable furniture, perfect for entertaining guests with a ballgame or your favorite Netflix movies, or for playing board games with the kids. The full kitchen has everything you need to get creative with tonight's home-cooked meal. The round dining table is great for inspiring intimate and lively conversation between your dinner guests. Use the private washer and dryer to take care of your dirty clothes after an afternoon on a hot-weather trail. This home has two bedrooms, one with a queen-size bed and a flatscreen TV, the other with a queen bed, a mounted flatscreen TV, and an en-suite bathroom. When you're not touring the fantastic nearby water parks, take the family boat out onto the water for an afternoon of fishing then come back to store it in the private boat slip which is also a perfect spot to catch the Moody Gardens fireworks!

You are right by the Moody Gardens Golf Course and The Pelican Grille, which are open to the public. You also have the ability to drive your boat across the bay to eat at Number 13 steakhouse which has boat parking available for its guests! You can fuel your boat at Pelican Rest Marina. Take the kids four miles east to visit Schlitterbahn Waterpark Galveston where they can enjoy attractions like Bahnzai Pipeline, Cliffhanger, and Dragon Blaster. Check out some of the fantastic local restaurants like Cajun Greek, Mario's Ristorante, and Seahorse Grill anytime you need a break from the kitchen. Galveston Charter Guides is four miles away and ready to take you out to reel in your daily limit of red drum fish!

They Canceled
I would have loved to stay in this house which I looked for forever when planning my family fishing trip. I booked it in MAY, three months in advance and four days before my check in I get a call from Vacasa saying its not available because they are redoing the floors. Y'all had three months to get that done. Thanks for ruining my vacation. three

Bayside with Fishing Pier
Nice, quiet location with large fully stocked kitchen. Nice size bathrooms and an outside shower downstairs. Plenty of seating for our family and extra large closet for Master where we stored all our stuff. Could have put a kid on a pallet in there since there was a window in there too. It was nice also to have front door and double back door. Plenty of parking for all of us. Older home but has been remodeled. Pull out couch in living room is fine for kids but would not recommend for adults. Thanks!

Great location
This home is in a great location close to everything Galveston, but since it's outside of town it's nice and quiet. Being on that water was exactly what we wanted this place doesn't disappoint. However this house was far from being clean they really need to get in there and clean everything. I was very disappointed. The house is in need of some basic repairs and a few updates wouldn't hurt.

Short stay during Mardi Gras
Really enjoyed our stay, especially fishing off the dock. Very peaceful. One of the showers is pretty small, so we all used the larger bathroom. Kitchen was a nice size and sofa was comfortable. Check in and out process was very easy.

We'd been advised that the bay side was better place to stay if the beach wasn't of primary interest. We were very pleased with the little house on the bay. It was well cleaned, everything worked as it should and we had absolutely no negative issues during our stay. We will check its availability on our next trip.

Perfect Little House
This house was perfect. Sitting right on the bay you have easy access to water. Kids enjoyed swimming, crabbing and fishing off the dock. The kitchen is spacious and was well stocked with everything you could need. Beds were comfortable and air conditioning worked well. The house is not super big, but was plenty of room for a family of four. Nice updates, clean and tons of hangers and closet space.

Cute house but needs some love
Definitely would stay again but house needs lots of Maitenance work. Doors stick and key was hard to lock the doors also had the wrong code and couldn’t get the key. Small bathroom shower unable to use because all the water would drain into floor from pan not being sealed. Other shower head didn’t work. Other small issues that weren’t as big of a deal like floor issues from the leaking water, Closet door not on, other doors wouldn’t close and small items were broken. Mosquitoes were also really bad but they had a lawn spray that Vacasa told me I could use and really helped. House also has ants in Livingroom and might need to be sprayed for. Vacasa did a really good job with all my inquiries but they need to set time aside for repairs.

Vacation
The front burner on the stove was not working. There were several soft spots in the floors. Several of the bar stools were broken and one of the chairs at the dining table. The shower in the on-suite appeared to have mold and needed some additional cleaning. Several lights were not working. There were plenty of bath towels but not face towels. Need to provide a broom and mop for the premises. But overall, the stay was good. The view was beautiful! If these issues are resolved, we would love to stay there again. Thanks.
