Best place to play, 'Hide and Go Seek'. Celebrities have...........
Oversized 2 bedroom, 1 bath vacation home that sleeps 3 and is located on the Tres Palacios Bay. This rare find is only a short walk to the parks, the beach, the marina, the fishing pier, the bank, the pharmacy, the library, and the downtown shops and restaurants............... Computer and smart-phone withdrawal is possible, but not required for tranquil living in this fishing village. Ideal location for writer or artist who prefers to work uninterrupted. Walk the sea wall for two miles or fish from the pier. Enjoy the sailors and shrimpers who come and go in the dazzling beautiful sunrises and sunsets. If you love birding, you will marvel at the largest number of species found anywhere in the United States. A replica of the La Belle sailing ship that was discovered in the Matagorda Bay is just steps away in the marina. Just two blocks away is the museum with an interesting accumulation of Palacios treasures from years gone by. Dine on fresh seafood from our port or savor Mexican or Asian foods from local family owned restaurants. Without the pandemonium of big city distractions, a type of restful detoxification may occur and a peace you won't soon forget can set in. This oversized unit was the private residence of the previous owner and was designed for comfortable living for two people.

My husband and I loved our stay over the 4th of July weekend. This was our first time to palacios and we couldn’t have picked a better place. It was located near everything and was so peaceful. Thank you so much for sharing your space with us, we are already planning our next stay!!!
This rental gets just about everything right. It's spacious, clean, well kept, comfortable, with plenty of amenities and great communication with the on-site managers. I would stay here again without any question or reservation!
I adore Palacios, have stayed several times at other properties amd just LOVED this one!! The view is stunning, the calm bay beach 200 steps away, and it is just so incredibly peaceful. After a month's stay trust me, I HATED to leave.
Beautiful location, comfortable, great hosts.. i couldnt have asked for more.
You could not ask for a better location to take advantage of the beauty of the bay. The guest house was fully furnished and ready to go.
Wonderful manger and neighbours make for a relaxing, peaceful stay. We stayed a month and will return next time we are in the area.
This was a wonderful place with a great view of the bay. As a bonus, we were there for the 4th of July fireworks which we watched from the front room in comfort. The house is well maintained and everything we used worked properly. Everything was clean and the house was well furnished. I would recommend this house for any couple that wants a quite place to stay with access to the town and beach.

Very Cozy
Thank you Chip & Carol for a Clean & Cozy place to stay. If we are ever out that way again we will stay with y'all again!!

The property was just as described, or better. Chip was a very pleasant person to talk to and was excellent as a host. During my stay we both walked and drove to fishing piers for a pleasant time away from business. In the evenings we prepared meals in the fully equipped kitchen, with all the dishes, pots and pans a cook could desire. The bed was fairly comfortable and the recliners more comfortable than the leather ones back home. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay, minus the tap water odor which leaves much to be desired - take bottled water with you to drink.
We booked the home because I wanted to be close to water to relax and my husband wanted to be close to fish. This home provided both for us. The owner met us upon arrival just to ensure we were good and upon exit. We would definitely stay again
This property is located in a nice quiet neighborhood, with an amazing view of the bay. The proprietor was very polite and my colleagues and I very much enjoyed our stay.
The property was clean and everything was in working order. It was in a great location, just across the street from the beach in Palacios. We enjoyed our weekend very much!
The room is spacious, clean, and well appointed; the location is good and affords a nice view of the bay; Chip and Carol give excellent service! Highest recommendation!

About the host
Hosted by Chip & Carol Woolf
Chip and Carol Woolf are semi-retired
Why they chose this property
Wanted to retire on the water and enjoy the southern breezes, gardening and slowed down lifestyle. The frequent rains and climate make just about everything grow into a jungle and I love that. Facing the bay with the occasional wind storm, thunder and lightening is exciting and makes me smile. We love our neighbors who have become part of our extended family. I can't imagine why more people have not found Palacios but glad we did. It was a glorious gift.
What makes this property unique
Enjoy the almost constant breeze coming in from the bay. The climate is great throughout the year and is enjoyed by winter Texans and Snowbirds escaping harsh conditions found further North in the winter months. Summers are for relaxing in the breezes without excessive heat
