Waterfront! Backyard fishing! Amazing views! Minutes from Galveston and Kemah!


Cozy 3 bedroom, 2 bath home, is newly remodeled and has everything you need for the perfect family vacation! Spend the day exploring near by attractions, fishing from the backyard, or simply enjoying the beautiful views from your private upstairs deck

The house is nestled in a great little fishing community, nothing fancy, you'll see some RVs and trailers. However, the location is great because it is 15 minutes away from Galveston Beaches, 24 minutes away from the Texas City Dike, 30 minutes from Kemah Boardwalk, and 10 minutes away from the Fairgrounds giving lots of room for fun things to do with very little drive time and an added bonus of breath taking nature views!

If you are wanting to fish you'll need to bring your own equipment, the house does not include watercraft or fishing supplies, but does have two crab traps tied to the bulkhead. There's also a private launch for kayaks (not included with rental).

Hopefully you're booking to relax and unwind but if work is a must we’ve included an office work space in the guest bedroom that includes a desk, chair, and computer monitor.

The house sleeps 7 people max, including adults and children. Two bedrooms have queen beds and the third bedroom has a bunk bed, with a full bed on the bottom and twin on the top.

The kitchen is very nicely stocked with pots, pans, baking sheets, and some handy spices. There is also a charcoal grill on site but you must clean it if you use it. Coffee maker is a Keurig (k-cups are supplied).

TVs in all the bedrooms and the living room with access to Netflix, Hulu, and Prime.

Host supplies starter toilet paper (4 rolls) and 2 rolls of paper towels. Shampoo, body wash and conditioner provided. Both bathrooms have a blow dryer.

Home is only accessible by climbing a flight of stairs. The garage area is not available for guest access, and there is access to one closet, hangers provided. The property has 5 active exterior camera/audio recording devices running 24/7 for the security of guests and the home. Any attempt to turn off, damage, disrupt or remove these devices will lead to an immediate removal from the property without a refund. If at anytime the max occupancy limits are exceeded you will be asked to vacate immediately with out refund.

Hidden Gem
Don't be fooled by the neighborhood. This is a lovely place with a kayak-size boat ramp for anytime fishing and crab traps right there in the back yard for family fun. The place was spotless, and had everything we needed to have a week of peaceful vacationing. We arrived during Spring Break, and we always looked forward to returning to this house as a place of beauty, peace, and quiet. For two nights there were strong thunderstorms; however, this was a highlight. Our bedroom was full of windows and a sliding glass door with a fantastic view of the bayou. Giant skies filled with lightning crafted a special night. Would definitely stay here again.

Exquisite canal front oasis!
My 51st birthday celebration at this canal front property in Hitchcock, Texas was an absolute dream come true. Nestled along the tranquil waterway, this clean, modern, and contemporary home provided the perfect retreat for our special occasion. The stunning views of the canal from the backyard created a serene backdrop for relaxation and enjoyment. Fishing right from the backyard was an incredible experience, and the few red drum and blue crabs we caught added an exciting element to our celebration. The provided crab traps were a fun and convenient touch, enhancing our fishing adventures. The interior of the home was equally impressive, with its sleek design and comfortable furnishings making us feel right at home. The spacious layout allowed for seamless indoor-outdoor living, with glass doors opening up to the waterfront patio where we could enjoy alfresco dining and sunset views. The peaceful ambiance of the area provided the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, allowing us to unwind and truly savor the moment. Whether we were casting a line off the private yard or simply soaking in the beauty of our surroundings, every moment was pure bliss. In summary, our stay at this canal front property exceeded all expectations! We even stayed an extra night! And the host Melanie was fantastic! She communicated very well, and was very responsive and prompt in all communication. And she had no problem, extending our stay for an extra day.

Beautiful stay
This property was so nice! It was wonderful to hang out by the water and fish and catch crabs. We definitely threw back what we caught but there was a large variety considering how hot it was outside. The inside of the property was clean and well kept. We were definitely loved our stay and can't wait to come back.

Awesome place. Highly Recommended
Melanie was an awesome and very understanding in our needs. This is perfect place to stay with access to the back channel for fishing and crabbing. The patio was wonderful for the family to gather and enjoy the breeze. Can't ask for anything more.

Boating and Fishing Trip
Host Melanie was the best; responsive, proactive, and very nice. We scheduled this trip to the area to break in our new boat and get some fishing in. We have stayed at a couple other places in the neighborhood in the past and initially picked this place because of the prime parking for the boat. After staying there, this place is everything you would want at your home away from home; it’s very clean, organized, fresh, roomy and comfy. We enjoyed coming back to the place after a day on the water. We caught some red and black drums down south in the ICW and almost a dozen crabs out in the back of the place; the crab nets were already there, we just added the chicken. The fish cleaning station in the backyard was very convenient; very easy to clean the fish quickly without having to carry them upstairs to the house. Great experience, we will definitely be back. Thanks!
