Whether you've just arrived or spent the entire day in the car, the great news is that you are finally home. So, take off your shoes, grab your favorite beverage, sit back, relax, and make yourselves comfortable!
Allow me to take a moment to introduce you to our loving family. My wife Rebecca and I have been happily married for 17 wonderful years, and together we are raising three incredible children. Growing up in Texas, we both come from humble beginnings, raised by hardworking blue collar parents who instilled in us the values of determination, diligence, and a relentless pursuit of success in everything we do.
As our family has grown, we have found immense joy in creating unforgettable vacation experiences and exploring new horizons together. Following a family tragedy in 2016, our travels became more frequent and profound, sparking our passion for establishing a small family business. Our goal is to provide other families, like ours, with the opportunity to enjoy the breathtaking beauty of the Texas coast.
We want to assure you that we have poured our hearts, souls, and endless amounts of effort into creating this beach house experience. Our journey has been marked with sacrifices, hard work, and tears, all with the fervent hope of delivering the exceptional experience your family deserves. From catching those big fish to making memories that will last a lifetime, we have wholeheartedly devoted ourselves to making your stay truly remarkable.
