Our family needed a getaway from our home in Seattle, Washington when good friends pointed us to…read more"Holy Mackerel."As someone who is more a mountain person than a beach person, I didn't know what we should expect, but as we arrived, we were instantly excited to spend a few days at the house! The house itself was welcoming and comfortable from the moment we walked in and the view of the water was a constant treat. We didn't understand how much the close proximity to the beach would shape our time at the house. Since it was so easy to get to the beach and into the water, we relaxed in the surf much more than we expected to. The key words there are "relaxed...more than we expected"! Our first night, as we settled in and noticed the unexpected amenities, we remarked to ourselves, "They thought of everything!" Our older daughter- who is an avid reader- loved the little touches like the reading lights connected to the bunk beds. Frankly, we are not used to being so well taken care of! Our family got to create some easy and meaningful memories during our time at the house. From dinner and games around the family-sized table to quiet moments of reading and reflection on the Adirondack-type chairs on the porches, there are many moments that we will look back on as special times in our lives together as a family. In the background of each of those moments was the thoughtfulness of the hosts who put the house together in such a way that we simply just enjoyed ourselves! We would definitely love to stay at Holy Mackerel again and we highly recommend the house for anyone who wants to enjoy simple comforts and drink deeply of the culture of the Gulf coast.

Their individual descriptions and photos seem to match. Nothing edited or fluffed. What you see is what you get. Houses are mix from new to 1960s beach bungalows with lots of character. If there's a problem - unexpectedly the A/C goes out. They are super fast to respond. Hurricane coming in- they will advise you and often work with you. Check out their places. Nice choices. Convenient to Houston and Galveston. Nearby Lake Jackson is brimming with places to shop, eat and street names to amuse you.

You can never know what to expect, I stayed with them before and they were ok…read more But this time they gave me the worst of the worst. *This apartment is infested with cockroaches it is amazing how shameless they could be. I spoke to one of the representatives and she said "Well that is strange because that apartment was inspected and everything was fine", the next day I caught a huge roach when I opened the dish washer and I took a picture of it, I sent it and now they are sending an exterminator. I will now have to deal with the cleaning of who knows how many dead roaches. *Ants are everywhere too, outside the apartment and somehow in the bath. * I noticed so far 2 wasps nest that haven't been taken care of. If they should be removed by some special association they should be called soon because by the way the are in the playground, if you have kids, that could be terrible. *The common areas in this complex are dirty (the pool is very dirty) there is trash all over the grass around the playground areas. *The bathroom shower has no pressure *The lid in the toilet is so cheap when you sit in it, it slides to the side. *The oven is old and dirty as well as the microwave *The furniture they provided this time is just as cheap as the apartment. *The pillows are old and brown. * The carpet looks old and it looks like it has been washed but it still looks dirty. * The washer and dryer are old. *The screen from the balcony fell back when I opened it. The contract is unbreakable so think twice and if possible go see the unit before you sign; in my case it was not possible and that was a huge mistake. I'm actually paying more than the last two times I stayed with Oakwood so I really don't understand. Good luck!

Donna and Steve have created beautiful rooms that make you feel like country living is what life is about. My husband and I came here for out 15th year wedding anniversary.

Waking up to a Rooster's crow, and spending evenings in the hot tub with wine watching the baby cow, such a simple pleasure. We will definitely be back!!

They made multiple accommodations for me and ensured that it was always a pleasant night away from home. Their property is gorgeous and since I'm from the country, I felt right at home.
