    We arrived to a lovely, beautifully decorated, comfortable, and clean home. The layout worked out well for our family with two college boys. The location is quiet yet close to everything we need. Thank you for sharing your home.

The property has detached sun deck over the boat dock where you can watch the beautiful sunrise and sunset. There is a boat dock for you to bring your own boat for fishing in the bay. If you don't have a boat, it's still a perfect spot for crabbing in the canal or fishing off the dock, as well. Galveston Island is a short drive across the Causeway where you can visit The Strand with lots of shopping, or cruise the seawall and sunbathe on many of the island's beaches.
I am so excited for you to be staying in my home. I know you'll enjoy the cozy feel of it. Please reach out to me with any questions you might have.
The Bayou Vista neighborhood is a very exclusive place with several top notch restaurants nearby within walking distance. Enjoy Mexican food at Baja Cantina, Seafood and American at the Bayou Bistro, or BBQ at Smokin Z's or the Dockside Grill located inside the Food Mart.
