Relaxing and Fun Trip

We had an amazing Thanksgiving at this property. We rented the golf cart, a must, and spent our days seeing the sights. My favorite place was the jetty where we saw dolphins and sea turtles. The beaches were clean and beautiful. The house was very homey, accommodating, and spacious. The kitchen was large and well equipped to make our Thanksgiving dinner. Thank you for a great stay.

Great Family Visit

Great Beach house, perfect halfway spot to meet my brothers for family time. (I live in McAllen they live in Houston Area) We are all in our 70's so everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom and the golf cart made it easy for us to visit the beach. Awesome family time.

Great House and Layout for a large Family Group

Liked the layout of three bedrooms on the main floor and the apartment on the lower level. Worked out great for the "Older Kids". The downstairs outside area perfect for grilling and all the beach stuff. Had a fixture issue and a couple of appliances that need some work, but overall would stay at this location again. The Neighbors on the "NW Side" were very quiet. Golf Cart ran great, and carry six.
