This place was great for our group getaway. Very spacious and neat, plenty of street parking. Communication with the owner was quick and efficient. Would definitely stay here again.
The house with the perfect size for our family, completely clean and cozy, has everything indispensable so that you don't have to worry more than enjoying an unforgettable vacation.
Really nice accommodation for the seven of us. We stayed prior to our cruise and it was an awesome place. The only thing I would recommend is larger soft blankets, although being in Texas you don’t usually need blankets!
The house was clean and comfortable, great for a little family trip. The kitchen was well stocked and they provided coffee which was nice. The host Ruth was helpful with any questions. We enjoyed our stay for a few days while the family had fun at the beach.
We had an absolute wonderful time staying at this house. A close walk to the Seawall, beach, water and plenty of restaurants. The house is well stocked, communication was excellent and the neighbors was quiet. would highly recommend staying here.
We were in town for a wedding and this was a great location. It is on a main road, but we never had issues getting out of the house. Close to a ton of restaurants.
Very cozy, clean, well equipped with all necessities/amenities of home, my gran kids enjoy the 2nd room with the parentals, was a perfect fit-we ALL enjoyed the stay and will consider staying here again in the future!!!!

Smartly updated two bedroom house not far from the seawall. Very clean and fresh. Great for couple or smaller group. Two bathrooms were a plus. We would stay again without hesitation.
House is fairly close to sea wall, which made an easy walk or drive to the beach. Owner was very accommodating.
