Great house & great location

This is the second time we've stayed here and love it. The house is very spacious and clean. The location couldn't be any closer to the beach. The two separate living areas is nice, and the second refrigerator is a huge plus. We would stay here again!

Beautiful Beach House, View, and Amenities Galore

This beach house has amazing views. It was exceptionally clean and beautiful. The kitchen has everything you might need including two refrigerators. There are two areas for visiting with friends inside and many more tables, chairs, and a hot tub for gathering outside. It was absolutely perfect and my group will return next year. I highly recommend this vacation rental for a small or very large group. We did not have children with us on this trip, but it would be great for all ages. There is even a high chair tucked away if needed.

The property is beachfront and has amazing views. The house has a great open floor plan for entertaining with the kitchen open to the living and study room.

Perfect Thanksgiving Stay

The home was absolutely perfect for our family and what we needed. The location is great, it's fully equipped with all the kitchen things, the layout is awesome, the decks are amazing...we loved it all! My only complaint is the mattresses. 😂 They aren't the comfiest! But we'd definitely stay again and highly recommend!

Perfect fit

This house was designed for people who wish to stay in or near the house. Ample seating for meals and relaxation as a group. The acoustics were awesome since we took a few guitars with us too. We had a local church youth group I saw from another review, carry the luggage up for a donation. You can reach them at 409-684-4413. Ask for Pastor Daniel. This was a wonderful vacation and i would recommend the house to anyone who wants to leave some trouble behind for a few days.

It's just WOW!

What can I say?!?! It's really an amazing property. Everything was exactly as described. Our extended family of 14 adults and children really enjoyed the stay. The house was beautiful, clean, very spacious, and had everything we needed. And the view was second to none. Loved sitting in the deck to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning or an adult beverage in the evening. Highly recommend!
