We had a great stay and loved the property. The views were fantastic and the private pier was a huge benefit! Plenty of room for our family of 5 and all the necessary benefits and accommodations.

Great place to stay and fish
Enjoyed the house. Love the private pier and caught some nice fish right behind the house.
Beautiful location, friendly neighborhood, and perfect for our two day trip. This place was the correct fit for the 3 of us and had everything we needed.
Will definitely stay again.

Great location!
Fabulous one story with private dock. We are all about fishing so this location is great. We were close to town to shop and eat out, and still have time on the water.
Cute, quiet home with excellent kitchen and appliances and dishes and utensils. Sound of the water was very soothing and relaxing. Excellent cleanliness. Will definitely rent again.

Great weekend getaway
It was a nice little place to stay. The fishing wasn’t the best but we caught a little sheep head! I stayed there which my in laws and toddler. My was a good experience and a perfect size for what we needed
The getting into the house was our only issue, but once we were in, everything was absolutely wonderful.
Clean, warm, cozy & nice beds with a great dock for sitting & enjoying Salt Lake.

Nice home
The house was very nice and clean. My husband enjoyed fishing off the private peer. We would definitely stay there again.
Not too big, not too small. Great outdoor space and love the private pier! We would definitely rent again. Only issue was very low water pressure in the showers.

Cozy bay house
My family and I booked this house so we could some time fishing. We had a fishing trip planned for the morning we were there but due to weather it was canceled. We had to deal with fishing off the pier. We actually caught quite a few fish in the evening. All amenities were easy to find. Great house for small family wanting to enjoy the bay and some fishing.
Nice 3 bedroom home,enjoyed the fishing pier.2 beds were in need of replacing mattress maybe. Disposal had an odor.Had most of what we needed for cooking purposes. Nice wine storage refrigerator. Left handrail needs attention. A little wobbling for going down the steps out back. Overall had a great cooling system for this hot Texas weather! We appreciated that! Thanks!

Perfect for small kids
We traveled with a 2 1/2 year old that loves fishing….but doesn’t have the attention span for long trips out in the peers with the big boys. This was soooo perfect. We could fish right off the deck and he could fish. Or play trains! We def caught our share of fish. Lots of black drums. 2 keeper reds 2 flounder and a stingray. All returned to the water to grow so we can catch them again next time!
