Guys Trip

This house was a perfect place to stay for our group of guys. There was plenty of room for everyone, the house was clean and open. Love the patios and getting to fish off the back porch. We caught catfish, redfish, and speckled trout! A short drive to the beach and a H-E-B right down the road. Perfect house for big groups!

Family Vaca

We loved the house! Plenty of room for all of us and the 4 bathrooms helped a lot! The hot tub was a huge hit with the kids and we loved that the dining table was big enough for us all to sit at. The house is in a quiet neighborhood and not a far drive from all the activities we had planned. Would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful house

We absolutely loved this property. It was in a nice and quiet neighborhood. We were able to fit 4 trucks and 3 cars in the driveway. The rooms were spacious and beds were very comfortable. Kitchen was equipped with everything needed. Best part of the house was the backyard. 5 different areas to sit in and enjoy your vacation with a drink in your hand and a relaxing view.

Beach Getaway

This property could hold a large crowd. There were not enough blankets or pillows For the beds that were already there. We brought blankets and pillows, which saved our sleeping arrangements, but they were not provided by the owner. There was a book that also told us if we moved any furniture that if we did not replace the furniture from its original position, we were going to be fined.. I did like the location of this beach house and it was clean. Just be aware that you may have to bring sheets and blankets of your own. The kitchen was well stocked. Arriving at 4 o’clock seemed late and leaving at 10:00 AM. Seemed a bit early for a crowd of 19. The space was sufficient for that Many people. The large dining area allowed us to help play games. The young children had plenty to do. The public beaches nearby.
