| My son and daughter-in-law rented the house for the family to enjoy July 27-30th and when they did they started a family tradition that I hope we can do EVERY year. The house was wonderful, the views and the early morning strolls on the beach that I had completely to myself were wonderful. We all totally enjoyed it. You have a wonderful home!! |

Our family LOVED our beach vacation at Tuck's! My son, age 5, found a sanddollar and a Lightning Welk... it made his whole vacation. Everyone had a special time and we cannot wait until next year.
Thank you! |

We stayed at Tuck's Landing the week of July 10-17, 2009. We take an annual trip to the coast and because of Hurricane Ike our normal destination of Crystal Beach wasn't an option this year. Be found TL online and couldn't have been happier with our choice. The house was wonderful!! There were six in our group and we enjoyed our stay so much that we even inquired about staying an extra couple of days!! We practically lived on the porch!! The kitchen had everything you could want. Our kids loved the bunk beds and all the DVD's kept them entertained in the evenings!! We'll definitely be back next year, but for a longer time!! Marc and Pam are great owners and answered any questions we had!!
Thanks for a great and memorable vacation!!

We book a family 'vacation' every Memorial Day 'week'. This includes all our family members (and friends) who can go. This year our daughter wanted her boys (5 and 1) to experience the ocean and sand. We located Tuck's landing on the internet, liked what we saw and read, so we booked it for a week. It was the most wonderful time. The house has a lovely view and is only steps from the beach and ocean. We fed seagulls off the balcony. With our grandsons we gathered shells and strolled along the beach. Even though we didn't bring fishing equipment (we WILL next time), watching the fisherman and witnessing the huge fish they caught was a thrill. We intended to build a fire on the beach but were so busy, we never got the opportunity.
The Tucks Landing house is probably the most well equiped kitchen we have ever visited. We were lacking for not one needed thing! The hot shower downstairs was wonderful for removing the beach from 'castle-builders' and the hose on the balcony was so very handy for the beach strollers who just needed a feet-washing. The inside of the house is decorated very attractively. I guess the only couple situations we wished were different was no TV service in the Master and no internet service. But this is vacation, right?
We would strongly urge anyone considering Tuck's Landing to definately give it a try! It was a most relaxing and fun filled time. |

My fiancee and I had a memorable and restful time at Tuck's Landing!! The pictures posted on the website only show half of what Tuck's Landing has to offer. This is not your typical beach house. It's a warm and inviting home that happens to be on the beach.
Thank you Marc and Pam for allowing us to spend our 9 year anniversary at Tuck's Landing!! We hope to come back again. |

This was the second time I stayed a Tucks Landing. As always, I found the beach house to be more than comfortable just like it was home. The view from the deck is awesome during the day and be sure to catch the sunrise. Listening to waves at night with a glass of merlot is very relaxing too. The kitchen is fully equipt and I was able to whip up a gourmet meal for me and my friends, I love that!! Also, I wanna compliment the Tuckey's on the new living room furniture...its very nice!!! I enjoyed myself so much I already have my dates for this comming July booked. Thanks for such great memories, Chad M. |

| A group of friends and I stayed here for the weekend. The house was very inviting,clean and comfortable. It was one of the most relaxing atmospheres I have experienced.The kitchen was big enough for all of us to hang out in while cooking and not feeling crowded. I loved the view as well and was very impressed with the quaters. I would definetly reccomend this beach house to all my family and friends. We are already making plans to go back and I cant wait,the kids are excited to. |

| March 13-20: My family and I had a great time at Tuck's Landing. The weather turned out perfect. The beach house is wonderful...nicely decorated and very clean. We will definitely want to come back again. :) The Galveston/Freeport area is shaping up nicely after IKE. We could tell many people are working hard to get things back to normal. Thanks Marc & Pam! |

| The place was great. Rain on and off the first two days that lead to cool weather. House was nice and neat. The beach out front at low tide was great for finding sand dollors and shells. The mosquitos where really bad. Bring repelent and a fogger to help. We had the beach to ourselves most of the time. Hope to return soon. |

| The house was everything I was hoping for. The house was stocked with everything I needed down to tupperware! It was spacious and comfortable. A half block walk down the street opened into what really is a private beach, it was not crowded at all. We enjoyed the patio deck sipping mixed drinks and feeling the cool breeze of the water. The only turn-off to the whole thing was the massive amounts of mosquitos!! The city sprayed for them three times while we were there but it didn't help. Be sure to take plenty of OFF. Citronella candles helped as well. |

"My wife and I were very pleased with Tuck's Landing! It was everything we could
have hoped for on the budget we had! Very clean and well kept up property!
Although not exactly on the beach, it still had some pretty awesome views from
the porch. We would definately recommend this rental to anyone!"

We were able to make a last minute reservation the week of Memorial Day. And it was one of the best vacations we've had in years! Very relaxing, the house has anything and everything you'll need and it is much nicer than the typical vacation rental. The Tuckey's were so nice and accomodating and our family had the most wonderful time. This area is amazing for finding huge shells on the beach and for privacy! We had the beach to ourselves a couple of days. The front deck is great for drinking morning coffee and the view is fantastic! We'd return in a heartbeat and can't thank the Tuckey's enough for sharing their great beach house!
Thanks so much!

We appreciate your willingness to share your vacation home with us during a non-conventional weekly rental agreement. It is a lovely, well appointed home that is wonderfully equipped for meal preparations. Staying in your home allowed our adult children and their spouses to be with us for Christmas. What a wonderful treat for all of us!
The time here was quiet, relaxing and most enjoyable! We fished, took long walks on the beach, collected shells and enjoyed the local seafood many times over!
We are so grateful to you for providing the opportunity for us.

| We stayed at Tuck's Landing for 3 days, the last week before school started this year. (Yes, we waited until the last minute to plan something)...Tuck's Landing was everything we hoped it would be. The house was very comfortable, clean, nicely decorated, well equipped and it felt like our home. Morning coffee on the deck with the awesome sunrise was so well worth it...The whole renting experience was organized, easy and hassle-free, just what working mom's and dad's need when they plan a vacation, especially at the last minute. Thank you for sharing your beachhouse with us and we can't wait to come back again and again. Debbie Simmons |

What a wonderful time we have had at Tuck's Landing! My girlfriend and I have known each other for seventeen years - from college to working career ladies to turning fabulously forty!
We spent our last trip together when we turned 35 in Cancun, Mexico. This year we opted to stay close to home but far enough away to call it a vacation.
We felt so at ease here and relaxed. The ocean view from your home is beautiful. The sunsets were amazing and my girlfriend told me the sunrises were totally awesome. (She is the early riser!)
Thank you for sharing your home with us on our very special weekend together. Our friendship is a treasure of gold to us and we have really enjoyed our stay.

We spent a week at Tuck's landing and had a blast. The house felt like home.
The weather was perfect, sunrises gorgeous from your deck and the sunsets at the beach- we didn't miss any the 7 nights we stayed. We stayed in several evenings and the whole gang took turns cooking. Great kitchen arrangement, equipped really well.
Hope to come back next year! |

Our first night was the beginning of the Harvest Moon. We had three days of 2 high and 2 low tides per day. It was great weather, windy but mild temperatures!
We enjoyed searching for shells on the beach and found a great variety of shells including sand dollars. The kids enjoyed boogie boarding and fishing from the pier.
We hope to have another opportunity someday to come back.
Thank you, we have been privledged guests in your beach home.

We stayed at Tuck's Landing in May/June of 2006 for a week. We enjoyed every minute of it. As everyone else has said, the house is lovely and well kept. We spent a day at Schlitterbahn Waterpark and that was an absolute blast. I would recommend it highly if staying at Tuck's Landing. If you're considering going, take our advice, it was well worth it!
Thanks Again Tuckey family! |

| Had an absolute blast. For the fishermen, just a short jog down to the pier for fun fishing, or a shorter walk to the rocks for better fishing (we hooked more fish off the rocks than the pier). And for sand fun, it is an even shorter walk to the beach. If you are coming from Houston, we found it better to take 45 into Galveston, stop at Wal-mart for whatever you need, then take the Seawall drive straight over the bridge to T.I. where Tucks Landing is located. For those wanting a deep sea fishing experience, in Galveston there is Galveston Party Boats or Captain Elliots. Perform a Google search to find the websites. Both of these proved to be excellent charters, and alot of fun for my brother, myself, and our wives. One suggestion though, bring some sort of insect repellant and citronella candles. Even though they spray for mosquitoes, a few seem to stick around to pester ya. Overall, this was the best vacation we have taken in a long time. Truly a vacation where I didn't think about home for the entire week! |

My friends and I truly enjoyed our stay at Tucks Landing. The house is gorgeous and very spacious. The bathrooms, also, are very accomodating.
We loved the easy access to the beach (right down the street!) as well as the quiet nature of the neighborhood. It's a perfect place to kick back, relax, and take in the wonderful ocean view.
Also, we commend the Tuckey's for including board games as well as a very conprehensive list of "what to bring". I suggest everyone follow that! All the things we brought came in handy.
The kitchen is well equipped (even with a smoothie maker!) All the furniture is beautiful and brand new. The house really gives you a home feeling when you enter its cozy living room. The bedrooms are great sizes and there is a view from every window. |

We loved this house. The Tuckey's were nice enough to rent their home to us at the last minute for vacation - and for that we are very grateful.
The furniture is gorgeous and the entire house is decorated so cleverly!
While we were here we had some really windy and cold days, but we kept ourselves entertained inside!
The mosquitos tried to get the best of us but we fixed that problem!
Thank you so much for sharing your home with us! We will certainly recommend this to friends!

Beautiful house, decorated like a real home rather than just a vacation rental.
The view from the balconey is spectacular! We got to tour The Strand - very cool downtown area; the history is very well maintained.
We will be grabbing a tour of The Bishop's Palace on our way out and can't wait!
We are ready to move to Galveston!

| We stayed at Tuck's Landing last September. It was a last minute decision, but luckily you were able to fit us in. The house was so beautiful and accomadating. I was amazed by how well the kitchen was furnished. Our two girls had the best time. It was the best family vacation we've ever had. It will definetly be our yearly family vacation from now on. The house was so nice that I would be afraid to have to stay in another beach house for fear that I would not enjoy it as much because of the cleanliness and furnishings. Thank you so much Marc and Pamela for making this something so wonderful and special for our family. We will definetly be back this coming up summer. |

Dear Pamela & Marc,
This is a child writing to you. This is also my first time at Tuck's Landing. It's so cool here that I started screaming when I got in here! The most things I like in this house are the bunk beds. You did such good things on writing down the directions that by now I remember them by heart. The decorations are sooo impressive!!!

| I can not wait to go back to Tuck's landing, It was one of the most relaxing and fun weeks I've had in a very long time. The living room was very spacious and comfortable - it really felt as if I were at my own home. Even the bed rooms have incredible views. My favorite spot was the huge deck which is covered so you can relax there any time. The only bad thing about Tuck's landing is that I am no longer there! |

| Tuck's Landing is the "Gold Crown" of private rentals! Super clean, spacious, open, bright, with all or more of the comforts of home. The deck is AWESOME and we could have sat out there all night. Or all week! The view is fabulous and since we were there on the 4th of July, we got to see at least 5 different fireworks shows! The location is secluded yet not too far from activity if you want to venture out. It was a great place and I am ready to go back this weekend! |

Your home was so warm and inviting! We felt like we were visiting old friends. Couldn't get over how clean and nice it was. My parents thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the balcony and soaking up the view, and what a view it was. Very peaceful and relaxing, just what we all needed. Our beach time was limited due to hurricane Emily, but it did not stop us from having a great time. The area and the home is very accomodating to older children, and we always love the trips to Galveston! Thanks for sharing your lovely home with us.
