We came to stay one night to celebrate Mother’s Day and my dads birthday. Area was nice, easy to find! The family had fun fishing here, some of us used the kayak! Beds were comfy! House was fully stocked! Owners were so accommodating! Can’t wait to come back again!

My family and I enjoyed our stay at this wonderful home. Everything was clean and they had everything you would need for your stay. The best part was the fishing we caught many fish right away. I would totally rent this home again any day. Thank you!

Had a very great time with my family. The house was just amazing place to relax and spend time with family

We had fun 4 days! The house is in a quiet community away from all the hype of the sea wall. We enjoyed spending some time in Galveston we were ready to head back to the house for dinner and a nice evening at the house. Lots of entertainment for all to enjoy. We enjoyed fishing and relaxing with a movie.

Quietly nestled near San Louis Pass, great fishing right off back deck! Enjoyed the quiet getaway!

Great house, huge deck, great fishing and very friendly neighbors. Overall, a 10 out of 10! The only recommendations I would have for future visitors who fish would be: -The closest bait shop with live bait is about 12 miles away so if you want to go fishing early make sure you pick up live bait the night before -Fishing in the canal behind the house is decent, but going to the dock on 1st street is much better -Bring mosquito spray -Wear reef boots while fishing on the shore because of the oyster reefs

Nice house, only down side to trip was mosquitoes outside. Make sure you bring bug spray. We had a great time!

We loved our week here. The home was as described. The neighbors were so friendly. There was one kayak but we brought some with us as well. My gang loved taking the kayaks to the mouth of the canal to catch flounder and we even saw dolphins a few times. The kids enjoyed fishing and catching crabs from the dock. Customer Service was wonderful!! There were a few road bumps but the owner was on top of it! First, the brand new dryer did not work when we got there but a maintenance man was called out the same day and the owner made sure to tend to that so we could still go about our way and enjoy our stay. Second, we lost power due to a lightning strike and she kept us updated with the information from the electrical company until power was back on.

Overall everything was nice. We were told multiple times we would have access to the boat lift and were told the night before it wasn't available. My sister was allowing us to borrow her bay boat since they had a lift but wouldn't let us wet dock it so the main reason we got a bay house instead of a beach house was lost. Told at 3 different intervals we would have lift, 1st payment, 2nd payment, and then week before check in. There were some other issues but the owners quickly came over and fixed but still didn't move their boat like they told me they would. We have other family that have a house there too so we just went out on their boat so all wasn't lost but 99% of the people aren't going to have that luxury. My wife is probably glad I didn't have a boat so I didn't fish as much but if you are going to this great fishing spot and want a lift take note.

Everything was as described and great communication with owners! Great quiet area. Fantastic time!

This home was perfect for our vacation of 4 adults 5 children and we definitely enjoyed our stay. Home is very clean and well kept. The beach is close and the area is quiet. The neighbors are very nice and helpful. The owners are attentive and respond quickly to messages.

5 stars for everything ☺️

This was a wonderful experience and something different for our New Year celebration. The house was clean, well-stocked with essential kitchen/bathroom items, and comfy. Both AC and heat worked great! It was 80 degrees the first 2 days and 40 our last 2 days. Thank you so much for a great mini vacation.

Everything was excellent

Jim and Sherry made sure that we had everything at the house that we could have needed for the weekend. Family enjoyed fishing and crabbing right of the dock at the house. First time staying and will be diffently booking another stay. Kids liked being able to have game night with the board games they provided.

Loved our stay. Only a couple of things ants were a pest! Had to keep all food in fridge unless it was sealed. My husband and I needed to work and the WiFi never ended up working. Only other things air mattress have slow leaks and could not figure out water outside it worked sometimes and sometimes it did not. None of this would not make me want to stay there again. Loved all the family’s we saw in the canal.

We enjoyed our stay very much! Great for fishing and loved the use of the kayaks!

Beautiful home! Very nice and clean. Well stocked kitchen. We loved the house and it was perfect for our short and close to home fishing getaway! Owners were very responsive.

Nice

The place was nice and clean. I have stayed at many homes but this was the only one that was equipped with everything as advertised.

Property was great.

We had a good time fishing, kayaking and going to the beach. We were disappointed that there was no washer/ dryer for clothes and no shade while trying to eat dinner at the picnic table.

It was a good stay.Everything listed on the property details match up except the following.. I would suggest taking pictures of all the rooms. The sizes are misleading. I could have sworn there were a total of 4 rooms detailed but only three in fact. I went to check and see if the couch was a pull out and found a pair of underwear and a switch blade. Yuck! No music outside after 9 or in house period, that was extreme we thought as most people go to the beach to have a good time. Washer and dryer was shown and we assumed we could wash our beach clothes but found a sign that said only if needed and didn't even work. Other than that it was a good stay.

Fished in canal, on beach at the Pass and Surfside Jetty.Went to beach a few minutes away with the kids, they had a great time. We all enjoyed our stay a bunch!

Entire experience was wonderful despite rain off and on. Kids really enjoyed the home. Comfy seating for adults to. Will stay again if I can.

We enjoyed our much needed family vacation. The house exceeded our expectations. They supply a lot of your daily needed things which turned out to be a lifesaver. It was a very peaceful place to catch up and relax with the family. Will definitely be looking to visit again.

This property is absolutely perfect! The owners provide so many essential items for your trip (beach towels, toiletries, board games, ect.) which meant less packing for me. Even though it rained most of our stay, my family and I had a fun and relaxing stay. We hope to plan another stay soon.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at the Second Wind. The house was absolutely beautiful, very spacious, and had activities for the kids and adults. During our stay we kayaked, had family game night, took our boat out (it has a extra spot to park your own boat), family cook outs on the balcony ( we brought our own grill), went to the beach, and many more fun activities. We will definitely be booking again for our family trips.

I was very impressed that the owners tried to provide everything you might need or want. There were several tables outside on the deck, and a folding table inside (we just used it for board games). The canal is shallow and only has small fish, but the grandkids had lots of fun catching them. There is great fishing a short drive away, on the ocean side of the island. This is the only beach house I've seen that is carpeted, but it is new and clean and quite comfy!

We had a great time!

Everything was just as described. Host had everything available for me and my family to enjoy this weekend. The stores were easy to access although they were 30 minutes away. Overall I will book again
