Beautifully updated canal house

Such a cute, cozy home! Perfect space for our family of 7, with a whole bedroom to spare. We have been to many Galveston rentals, and this was definitely one of the more nicely updated we have stayed at. The owner was super friendly, and offered us an early check-in and a late check-out. The beach was an easy golf cart ride away. Our kids really enjoyed crab hunting in the canal.

Great getaway

Place was very clean and looked as described. Great decorations and plenty of indoor and outdoor space. Very close proximity to beach. The bathrooms could use some more ways to hang things such as in the shower or hand towels as currently the only way to hang stuff is on the back of the door. Would definitely rent again if we go to Galveston again.

Communication was wonderful!

The house was just as it was listed and the communication was amazing during our stay to help us get a couple of things taken care of that we couldn't do on our own. The neighborhood was really nice and endless things to get into. We can't recommend this place enough, it was amazing!

Nice house and great location

We were intown for a baseball tournament and the location was perfect for us. We arrived the day a tropical storm came thru and the owners were so helpful with what was actually going on in the area and were so quick to communicate with us. Thankfully the area was fine and we enjoyed our stay. The house is so cute and located in a nice neighborhood. Great view of the canal and we enjoyed the outside area looking over the water. It was hot and humid after the storm but overall a great stay.

You'll be Reel Salty... about leaving!

We had an amazing stay at "Reel Salty!" Our short stay turned out to be the perfect father's day/birthday/farewell trip for our daughter who was in town from UNC. The moment we walked in, it smelled fresh and clean—none of that musty bay-house smell (IYKYK.) The place was light, bright, and airy. There was so much space upstairs that we didn’t even use the third bedroom! Our girls loved the bunk room and made themselves right at home. The kitchen was impressively well-stocked, which was a huge plus since we love to cook and rarely eat out. The downstairs space, which looked small and awkward in photos, turned out to be fantastic. The large bulkhead at the end of the canal provided plenty of space for the kids to swim and play. The variety of kayaks and paddleboards were a hit. We loved how close the house was to the beach, which wasn’t overly crowded. The neighborhood was lovely, and having a bait shop and restaurant nearby was incredibly convenient. Pro-tip: Instacart will deliver groceries, but they do add an extra fee for the long trip. My husband was thrilled with the crab trap, fishing light, and fish cleaning station. The outdoor TV was awesome to have and the bar cutout and bay door provided a refreshing breeze. The sitting area with the swing turned out to be a cozy spot, and the large driveway was perfect for setting up a pickleball court. Aj and Jenn, the hosts, were amazing. They were quick to respond, kind, and accommodating. I'm so glad we found this place!

2023 Family Vacation

We had our first full family vacation since 2014 and the house was absolutely fantastic!! The house was clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed, fishing right of the dock of the house was a plus, and the beach was not too far. The beach was clean and not as busy as other beaches. We will definitely visit again!!

Great Experience!

The property was everything advertised and more. Plenty of space for all of us. It was nice having the double bunk beds in one room for the kids as it gave them their own space. The property was well kept and clean. Communication with AJ the owner was easy. Anytime we reached out he quickly responded and answered our questions. We would love to book again on our next trip to Galveston!

Little getaway

Great place to stay for our trip. My crew loves fishing and this location was great. We caught crab and catfish off the deck at the house and all sorts of fish from the pier within the community. Plus the beach is a short trip across the street. There is a marina and restaurant/bar within the community. Everybody loved it!
