The house was great and located in a good spot for us. Clean and had everything we needed. The little casita could have been a little cleaner, but nothing major.

Great spot on the bay

The House is clean and pretty! Great views of the bay with a lovely covered porch. We really enjoyed our stay at the home. I love that it's one story... no stairs inside or out. The home felt very new inside... We all recommend this home

Kitchen setup was amazing. They had a lot utensils, pots, pans, cups, and plates. Unfortunately the AC stopped working on the one full day we were there. Property manager was able to provide window units until they could get someone out to fix the AC. However that was after we checked out.

Great house and location

This is a very nice house. Stayed two nights. When we arrived house was spotless, except the bedroom only accessable from out back. Had not been cleaned, dehumidifier full of water and floors were wet. Dirty bed sheets and used towels on floor. We cleaned everything up and washed sheets and towels. Need to talk to whoever is cleaning your house that they missed the last bedroom/casita.

Check in and Coffee pot

While we vacation was very good, the check in process lack information like, the combination code plus the check button plus the combination to the casita. Also, we reported on the first day that the coffee maker was broken which caused several huge messes in the kitchen that took time to clean up, it was not replaced during our stay which was a big miss. We had taken our own premium coffee and were not able to enjoy it.

The best feature of this stay was the private, lighted pier just steps from the back of the house—perfect for evening fishing or relaxing by the water. The view was absolutely beautiful, especially during sunrise and sunset.The house was well-stocked with plenty of towels and pillows, and the kitchen was well equipped for cooking and dining in. However, there were a few issues worth noting. The floors appeared quite dirty, as if they hadn’t been mopped in some time. The main house AC was set to 77F, which felt warm upon arrival; setting it to at least 72F would be more comfortable for incoming guests. The hallway bathroom could use a privacy film, as it’s clearly visible from the neighbor’s balcony. The AC unit in the attached back room was leaking—we had to use bath towels to soak up the puddle, which raised concerns about potential water damage. Also, only one roll of toilet paper was provided per bathroom, which wasn’t enough for the stay.And don’t forget to bring your lawn mosquito spray. We couldnt enjoy hanging outside due to Texas size mosquitos Despite these minor issues, we still enjoyed our stay and I’d give it a solid 4.5 out of 5.
