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!!!

Do not stay if rain is in forcast!!
Downstairs flooded due to Tropical storm Alberto. It was flooded in bar area all the way up to where are cars were parked. We got shocked unplugging refrigerator, washer and dryer. We were told to pull all furniture up before flood. Which who wants to continue to take care of a place your staying at on vacation?! I felt like someone should of been there to take care of everything and we were left to figure it out and clean up the mess ans take care of the house. Downstairs stinks terribly!!!! Dock was falling apart, unsafe for children. Upstairs was good. Needs to be updated.

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!!

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.

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 Stay!
My stay was amazing. Everything was clean and welcoming. I enjoyed the deck with the relaxing view. The owner was very nice and keep the line of communication open. The neighbors were also very friendly and kind. We even was given free live bait to use for fishing from one of the neighbors. I would definitely come back to stay in this home. Thanks

Great place for a get away!
Great place for a family get away. nice spot under the house for kicking back and relaxing after a long day on the beach. There was access for a boat if you should bring one . Accommodations were great. This is a great possibility for us in the future when we decide to go back to Galveston.

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.

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!
