Beautiful River House w/lighted fishing pier & great sunsets!

Nestled on the picturesque Gulf Coast of Texas, this charming, stilted cottage offers the best of coastal living along a serene riverfront setting. It includes 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen and washer and dryer. The master bedroom features a comfortable queen-size bed, while the second bedroom offers two full-size beds, and the third bedroom includes a versatile full-size trundle bed with an additional twin bed.

Great place to stay, a few minutes away from town and the beach. Home was really nice, very clean and had plenty of household items available for us to cook, etc.
