About this house rental
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 front yard, 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 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.

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.

My son suggested this property from reviews he had seen for kayak fishing. The house is beautiful and owners communicate very quickly. While the fishing was not in our favor that weekend, probably from the amount of recent rain, it seems like an ideal spot right on water and also conveniently located to Galveston and Texas City. My 4 year old granddaughter loved the "party lights" on the patio area. We are already talking about when we would stay here again!

The house is very clean and enough space for 7 people to enjoy their own space and together. Appliances are clean and new. Fishing was great and the back patio is very spacious. I would definitely return.

I've stayed in a lot of rentals on the TX coast and you never know quite what to expect. I was extremely pleased when arriving at this location!
It looks like it was just remodeled on the interior. Everything is new and clean. Comfy beds, new sheets and bedding, comfy couch, giant tv, etc.
Kitchen is in great shape. Will definitely be staying here again.
As I mentioned above, you never know what you are going to get. I highly recommend this place, and couldn't be happier.
The owner also messaged me before arrival, as there was a big storm during our stay. They were excellent communicators and extremely pleasant to talk to.
Will be staying here again next summer!

We had a fabulous two day stay. This house is just the cutest little home and fits 6 adults perfectly! I'm sad we didn't have fishing gear. We saw several jump out of the water. I would stay again. I had a question and had a response in minutes.

There's so much to tell about this place, my family and I were very pleased with the property, very clean, very comfortable, very well organized, my favorite thing about the place was the coffee station, I as a coffee lover it was definitely a must and was super happy to utilized it. My other favorite thing about the place was the beautiful peaceful view, I must shared that the house is located 20 minutes from Galveston (as listed) "BUT" my family and I did not mind the drive because the property it's definitely worthy, another thing I would love to shared it's their easy and professional contact communication, I'll definitely book with the Ochoa property in the future! Thank you Ochoa LLC

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

The house was very clean, the kitchen had everything we needed and the decor is fabulous. The yard and spacious porch downstairs kept the teenagers occupied while I cooked and got ready for activities. They fished, used the crab traps and played football. Short drive to Galveston and surrounded by great little restaurants. The neighbors are quiet and friendly, especially the Lab that lives down the street. I really liked the communication about the property. The reaponses were quick and always friendly. We all had a fantastic time and will definitely be back! Hitchcock Bayou was a blast!

We had a great time at the house. It was very nice and had everything we needed while there. We rented kayaks and fished and crabbed and caught several of both. It was a great stay.

Our stay
It was very nice and we really enjoyed our stay. It was very comfortable. The only thing that it was a bit of a downside was check in time. It was too late. It would be nice if it was earlier. But like I said it was a very cute home and it was very clean and nice. Thank you for being a great host. Thank you ☺️

Perfect privacy close to attractions.
This was the perfect home away from home. My guys enjoyed trapping and fishing in the canal. It was quiet and peaceful, but close enough to the beaches and attractions without all the noise. Loved it.

The cabin was very nice and clean. However, the neighborhood was a mix match of houses.
My family enjoyed our time at the property and I’d recommend it to other families.

"Waters Edge Retreat", a place where you can go and take the edge off.
This was our first experience renting a vacation home and this home was just amazing! We were so happy with our choice. The home was more beautiful and comfortable than we had hoped. The house was exceptionally clean and extremely well stocked!!! The kitchen was amazing and we enjoyed cooking together. The owner responded to my texts immediately, we were well taken care of. Would stay here again!"

Really Nice House on the Canal
We rented the house because we were going to the crawfish festival nearby. Decided we liked the peace and quiet better and stayed at the house the whole weekend. Wonderful outdoor space, we were barely inside. The covered deck was great to get out of the sun when we needed to.

Cozy Cottage
Very cute cozy cottage. Not in Galveston but close enough to everything to do in Galveston. Plus crab fishing or regular fishing from the banks.

Comfortably sleeps 7
The online description says comfortably sleeps 7 and not max occupancy of 7 including kids under 5. We had to pay extra because we had more than 7. We drove 8 hours to get to his house so it was not an option to leave without paying the penalty of having more than 7 total.
The house itself was very clean and nicely furnished with everything you need. The neighborhood is a little run down.
We didn't have any luck catching any fish or crabbing.

The check in time was great, other than that it was horrible. No privacy. They had a neighbor keeping an eye on us. We were kicked out because I decided to let 1 family stay the night. . The reason for that was because of safety. I did not want them to drink and drive. They wanted to charge each person $100. The host was hostile and horrible, threaten with trespassing. Was not accommodating and did not want to work things out. I would not recommend renting this place to anyone

Relaxing & Enjoyable Stay
Enjoyed fishing and crabbing just feet away from back patio deck. Living space was smaller than appeared in the pictures but very clean and comfortable. Not enough bath towels for two nights. We had to re-wash towels after first night shower so that we could have fresh towels for the next day. No kitchen towels. It rained on the final night of our stay. The next morning the high water was very challsnmade it nearly impossible to get to our vehicle without stepping in My husband had to walk thru about foot of water to get to the trash can on the lower deck where we were instructes to put trash before leaving. out the trash can on the back deck loods really quick when rains making it impossible to We had to hours the last night which

Really had a great time fishing and crabbing right in the back of the house. The view of the water was awesome. It was a really nice and quiet place to stay and just relax. Had a great time.

Great all around experience
Everything in this house is very comfortable and convenient with lots of nice little touches like the coffee bar and the simulated fireplace in the master bedroom.
The tv has every app you could want plus cable and the house stays nice and cold if you need a low temp for sleeping.
This is a great place to go launch a kayak or small boat, you can't get under the railroad bridge on high tide bit there's still plenty of good marsh to fish.
I caught some reds and a keeper flounder plus some small specks drifting in the main "lake" marsh area to the left of the bridge.
If you set up some construction lights in the canal it brings lots of fish in but all smaller this trip, with fall coming that will change though!
The grill is great as well plus if you keep the crab traps stuffed full of fish you'll catch a good amount of blue crabs.
There is another boat launch at Louis around the corner and good convenient stores plus some good restaurants (also Louis grill and bait camp)
All in this is just a great place to hang out and get away!

Nice place, very clean, quiet area, great for catching crab, not much luck with catching fish, also it would be safer if there was a barrier between the water and backyard, just if there are small children. Over all, wonderful place, loved our time there

Beach hideaway
We could not have been more pleased! With two week notice they were more than accommodating. A private suite for us, a lovely queen room for my mother in law and a bunk bed for my three boys. There was fishing and crab trapping in the backyard and just miles from the best beaches. We will stay here again!

Texas vacation
We had a wonderful time and loved the house! It was comfortable, and beautifully decorated. We were all very comfortable inside, and outside also! The kids were able to fish from the yard and we enjoyed watching from the deck. Can’t wait to come back again!
