My family and I had a mini vacation here and loved everything about it! This place was clean, stocked, and close to the beach. AC worked great against TX heat, the pool was nice and spacious and overall just relaxing. Our unit had such a beautiful view and access to the water for fishing. We will definitely be returning every time we come to the coast.

The kitchen could use a few more items to make the stay easier. A cutting board, a colander and a good sharp paring knife would be wonderful. Also pots and pans without the teflon chipping off would have been nice. A good baking sheet is needed also. Don’t let that put you off of staying here. There is a dollar store nearby and a Family dollar nearby where these items could be purchased inexpensively. This was the CLEANEST place we have stayed! Nice bed, sheets and plenty of towels. Plus the washer/ dryer on site was helpful.

This was my 5th visit to Lively Beach, so it’s safe to say I truly love this place. That being said, this time I noticed a few things that were a little disappointing. The property could use some maintenance to keep its magic—like replacing the pool lights so we can enjoy that beautiful blue glow in the evenings, which has always been a highlight for me. Also, some pest control would help, as I had a couple of spiders and even a frog in my room this time, which was unexpected. Even with these issues, I’ll definitely keep coming back because I really do love Lively Beach. Still, given the premium price, it would be great to see these details taken care of to keep the experience as amazing as it’s always been.
