Girls trip to the coast was a beautiful time at this home. We visited for three nights and enjoyed the peace and quiet away from the busy world. We spent our time walking the beach, sitting on the deck in the mornings and evenings, playing cards or watching tv in the house and taking naps. This home is a good drive to restaurants and big stores but the quiet isolation is worth it! The Dollar Store is about 10 minutes away and will likely fill and needs that come up. Bring your own food, use the well stocked kitchen and enjoy relaxing! Cheryl was very good to work with, fast communication and patient with any questions I had. Thank you, Cheryl!

Weekend Getaway form working from home.

The pictures really don't show how spacious the house is and how close the house is to the water. Wish we could have stayed longer. Really enjoyed watching the sunrise and fishing right in front of the house. Our dogs liked laying on the porch people watching. We have already booked our next stay and can't wait to be back there.

Great place!

Loved the house and the location! Felt a bit misled by pics of the beach; lots of rocks with a bit of sand (still had a blast!!). Also other people staying should know there's an expectation that renters replace items such as soap if they run out, and that washing and drying towels is expected but laundry detergent is not provided. Overall enjoyed the stay and location!.

Good Place to Relax

My wife and I spent a week, along with our dogs, enjoying the ocean views and the sound of the waves crashing on the shore. We hadn't been to the Texas gulf coast before and this was a good place for that first experience. Being only a few hundred feet from the shoreline, we enjoyed sitting on the porch with its ocean views in the mornings and evenings and exploring during the day.

This place is a great place to stay if you want to have a great time with your family and friends! The house is great very well maintained and fully equipped with all that you need. Cheryl (the owner) is amazing, easy to reach and super friendly. The view is spectacular, we were able to see some dolphins from the deck! We will be back definitively.

Great location and comfortable lodging

Perfect location if you are looking for a relaxing beach vacation. House was clean and the beds were comfortable. The deck is in the late afternoon shade (in July) and the sea breeze makes sitting outside well into the evening enjoyable. The beach is a hidden gem. Hosts were quick to respond via text to any questions. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back!

We had a great stay!

We loved the location…lots of privacy. It’s also very close to drive-on beach access. We fished in the surf every day and caught an incredible variety of fish, even a small shark! The deck is perfect for watching sunrises and we never tired of the beautiful views through the wall-to-wall windows. The kitchen has everything you’ll need to make a home cooked meal. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home!

March trip

We enjoyed our stay. Beautiful view of the gulf and a big deck to enjoy it from. Had fun shell hunting and walking along the shore. It was finally warm enough the last day to splash in the water a bit too. House was as described and we had no problems. We most loved the privacy of this location- absolutely no crowds.

Our "kidmoon" honeymoon

We enjoyed the beach we walked to it everyday! You could walk back in just a few minutes and didn't have to drive to it! The kids and us loved it! We loved that there weren't people every where it's nice to get away from it! There were tons of sea shells to the sun setting and rise was so pretty! It makes it great when you can cook and not have to got out all the time to go eat! Our last day we had a picnic on the beach for lunch time!
