Costal Cottage Bay House

The Costal Cottage Bay House was a perfect spot for a needed get away, the location is definitely what makes this property. Seeing the sunrise in the bay every morning is worth every moment. The Point store is a 3 minute walk and the bay is also walking distance. The owner are definitely great host, I would definitely recommend if you planning to visit Palacios, Tx to try out the Costal Cottage Bay House.

About the host

Hosted by Marianne Cook

Host profile image
My husband and I have lived in and loved Palacios, Tx. for many years. We love the hometown feeling and living on the bay. We love our views of the bay and wanted to share it with vacation renters in the area. We have designed our apartments with the coastal flare that we love.

Three years ago renovated a house that was hit by a hurricane and needed a lot of work to make it a special Coastal get away for you. We love the coast and have decorated with coastal and beach colors. Now we have expanded and soon will have 3 vacations rentals at a great location with awesome views of the Tres Palacios Bay that leads into the Gulf of Mexico.

We purchased a 4300 sq foot 1920s barn with an apartment in the back. We just renovated the barndominium in Dec 2021.
