Getaway

My family and I had a wonderful time. The stairs were a little rough at times but other than that it was perfect. My kids fished pretty much the whole time we were there. They loved it! Defiantly a nice getaway.

No boat dock made this a bust.

I've leased in this cove before just a few doors down from this property. We specifically rented this place and paid a premium compared to other rentals because it is advertised as having a boat dock. Well, the boat dock is all torn up and not usable. The three-story layout of this place makes it a bit "wonky" to use. Again, we were willing to overlook this so we could have the covered fishing from a boat dock. We brought this to the attention of the rental company immediately upon our arrival and were told they'd let us out of the contract if we wanted. Well, this was a big family gathering (son's high school graduation) and we had a bunch of family renting a second place closer to the beach as well as having many other family members staying in RV's etc. so we couldn't just abandon the event and drive back to Dallas. Having talked to some of the neighbors it sounds like the boat dock has been out of order for a very long time but the place is still advertised as having a dock. This shouldn't be allowed. I feel the fact that the boat dock wasn't operable is a material breach of our rental agreement. I'm going to pursue a partial refund.

Birdhouse on Laguna Harbor

We had a great time! The condo was clean and comfortable. We love Laguna Harbor and stay here at least once a year. Wonderful little community and a premier fishing spot! We can’t wait to come back!!!

very nice place to stay

Kitchen was well supplied with appliances, dishes, and basic pantry items. Toiletries, towels, and linens were adequate. Docking our boat at our back door was convenient, and the public launch is very close. Fishing was great right off our dock. Caught sand trout, speckled trout, flounder, redfish in numerous quantities and many in legal size. We had a great time. Only negative is that the kitchen and views are on the 3rd floor. That’s a lot of steps to carry your groceries for us old timers.

Home is nice and boat slip is very handy for anyone wanting to bring their boat. Parking can get a bit tight with a trailer and two vehicles.

Adventures at the fishing Cottage

The property was exactly what our family needed. A place to slow down, rest, and fish. The atmosphere at Laguna Harbor itself is super quiet. The house provided daily exercise with all the steps between floors. The home was nicely furnished. It was a great experience.

Quiet, lovely piece of heaven

We stayed for a weekend and wanted to stay a week once we got there. 😊 The house is amazing! The kids fished and crabbed right outside the door. I enjoyed the porches and quiet! We will definitely be back!

For the price lacking comfort and charm

Supplies limited like no paper towels. Very few towels, thankfully washer dryer so you get to do laundry while on vacation. Absolutely not baby friendly or safe. Boat slip broken and ropes off. All patio furniture falling apart if you even touched a chair piece es would fall off. Had to buy batteries to get bed to work. It is a sleep number but without batteries in remote you stuck sleeping on last person setting. I would not stay here again. Felt like a motel more than a home.

Cute canal home

Our family had a wonderful stay. The house was very clean and well stocked. Having 3 full bathrooms was a treat. This is a quiet area with fishing steps from the house. We saw 2 dolphins in the canal and caught a 41.4 lb black drum on dead shrimp. We also caught flounder and a redfish at a fishing hole nearby. The beach is only about a 15 minute drive. The dock behind the house was falling apart and was therefore unusable.

The fishing was great. The home was very nice, the only thing I didn’t care for was the kitchen and living area was on the 3rd floor. Other than that it was awesome.
