Great, comfortable place to stay

Came for a brief family visit & it was just what we were looking for. Clean, spacious! Loved that the bedrooms were on opposite sides of the house so everyone had their privacy. Quick walk to the water & had enjoyed feeding the outside cats 😊

Fair Winds Bungalow

The house was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped. The large front porch provided a nice place to sit, visit and view the bay. Palacios is a very small town and super quiet in the evenings. Fair Winds is perfect for visiting with family and friends and relaxing.

City by the Sea

A wonderful Easter weekend in Palacios. Just across the street from the historic Luther Hotel and a block from Tres Palacios Bay, this cottage was a perfect spot for a getaway from the big city. Several high quality restaurants are located within walking distance, and a wide variety of other options are available nearby. We also loved meeting Donna Gato, and look forward to seeing her again when we return this summer.

Such a beautiful house with everything you need! Everything was clean and fresh, the beds and linens were so soft, over abundance of towels and supplies. I have nothing negative to say! We comfortably enjoyed our stay, and will definitely be back!

My family is from Palacios and we have stayed at several homes there and this is by far the best home we have stayed in. My mother passed away on Monday morning and we decided to still go to Palacios and celebrate her. I will definitely be staying here again. The property was fully furnished. Plenty of towels, kitchen essentials and games for the kids. Not to mention the cable was a plus.
