Perfect Weekend

We had the absolute best time at Bob’s on the Bayou! This house was the absolute best stocked vacation rental I have ever stayed in. Raye’s communication was stellar and she left absolutely no detail out. The house is even more beautiful than the pictures. My son (9) and husband enjoying fishing from the dock while my girls (2 & 4) loved the toys that were provided and soaking in the tub. My parents and in-laws also traveled with us and there was plenty of room for everyone. We hope to return sometime soon!

About the host

Hosted by Raye Massey

My husband, Bill, and I love our beautiful home in Galveston. Bill enjoys boating and fishing and I, well, I love to relax, read and enjoy the atmosphere. Sightseeing and shopping are my specialties and Galveston offers the best of both! I am also learning to kayak and launch off of our deck.

While we don't live at Bill's on the Bayou full time we are in close proximity and have support on the island.

Why they chose this property

Bill's on the Bayou is located in a quiet family neighborhood on a cul de sac street. We have a beautiful bayou view from all three decks with easy access to the bayou and West Bay from our canal.

Our neighbors are great!

What makes this property unique

Our home has a perfect layout for families and friends. It is beautifully decorated and we try to provide everything you might need during your stay. Bill's is in a perfect location for easy access to everything on the island yet will provide the peace and comfort that you are looking for.

We want you to relax and enjoy our home during your stay. We provide everything that you might need while here. Come in after a long day on the Strand or the beach and enjoy a cold beverage and a snack.
