The private night fishing

Honestly this condo met our needs perfectly. The private deck for night fishing was such a cool experience for our 5 year old, she really loved it. We even saw some sting rays. Really neat place, recommend renting a golf cart to drive to beach, it’s the perfect distance to ride in a golf cart to!

Spring Break

Property is far enough away from the middle of town that it is quiet and relaxing, but close enough to town to enjoy the public beaches and other events in Corpus with just a short drive. Fishing and crabbing was fun with the kids on the pier. Kitchen is fully stocked, making meals done there easy. Family enjoyed our stay very much. Staff on property were very helpful with questions and super friendly.

Relaxing Vacation Rental

We had a nice time at Richard's vacation rental. There are 3 floors with lots of nice bedrooms and plenty of bathrooms so be prepared for some good calf workouts. Richard and James were very responsive and happy to help with anything we needed. Short drive to beach and bring your own fishing gear to take advantage of the pier!

Awesome!!!!! Richard and James were great. Anything we needed, James was on it. Location was perfect for us. The back deck on the wayer was surreal, even our little ones caught. I shouldn't post too much then we may have to book super early because everyone will want to stay here. We will be going again next year. Thank you for making great memories.

Minor items

The property was fine and the people who we worked with were also great. The only two things we would not rate as high were parking and the fact that one of the bedrooms did not have a closet or dresser for people to use. The parking is not sufficient for the amount of cars. It made parking every day difficult. Otherwise this property was a good one.

Great place for family vacation

We came here for a family vacation during Labor Day weekend and Richard was very friendly and gave us tour of his property even though we arrived late night. This place was huge and you can definitely relax because it’s very quite in the area. Pier was clean and we definitely had a great time fishing. I would recommend this place to everyone who will be traveling with big family and we will definitely come back for next trip!
