Walk to the beach at Chapel Hill House

Harvey could not keep a good house down but it did contribute to the remodel of Chapel Hill House. We kept the charm but added full bathrooms, a new kitchen and lots of lighting and windows. Remember a quieter & gentler time when friends gathered and shared good times. This 1926 original Old Town home takes guests back to that time. Chapel Hill House has three queen bedrooms, each with attached full bathrooms, one bedroom with 2 twin beds and attached full bathroom and 4 twin beds on the first floor with a half bath on that floor. There are large sunny porches in front and back on the first floor, with a sunning porch on the second floor with gulf view. There is an outdoor shower on the first floor porch. There is a large dining room and outdoor table that seats 10, Twelve can screen a movie on the TV in the living room. Chapel Hill House is equipped with a Weber Genesis grill and spacious kitchen. Washer and dryer are provided. Combine this rental with our home, next door, the Black Dog Cottage, VRBO #592377/587710.

Needs work

This is a nice house but is definitely in need of some cosmetic work. Walls needing some fresh paint. We thought we were getting a private pool and found that the neighbor used this pool as well. Whoever cleaned before we arrived left items out in the house. Overall it is a nice place just needs a little tlc.

Not what we expected!

While the house appeared cute and spacious initially, our experience quickly soured due to several issues. Upon arrival, we noticed the house was uncomfortably hot, which we initially attributed to the Texas sun and our activities. However, the problem persisted throughout our stay, with temperatures inside often hovering around 80 degrees, making it difficult to relax or sleep. Despite notifying the manager, and her saying “it’s been inspected”, the air conditioner struggled to cool below 80 degrees until late at night. The condition of the amenities left much to be desired. We encountered dirty broken down furniture, holes in sheets and towels, dirty bedskirts, and stained linens, peeling paint on walls, and even holes in the walls themselves. The outdoor shower had rotting boards that were falling through, posing a safety hazard. The oven repeatedly shut off mid-cooking, and although the manager attempted to fix it, the problem persisted. The washing machine broke down and shortly after being repaired broke again! The dishwasher didn't function properly, requiring us to handwash dishes. Noise was also a significant issue, as the manager's dogs, located in the adjoining unit, barked frequently, disrupting our peace. Furthermore, we discovered black mold in the air conditioning vents, which raised concerns about air quality, especially with a baby in our group. Despite reaching out to the landlord about these issues, including the unbearable inside heat which was ridiculous,

Diamond in the rough

This was the second time we’ve stayed at this property. You can’t beat the location. The house is nicely appointed and the host is very accommodating and friendly. We loved having the pool too. I call it a diamond in the rough because the exterior doesn’t reflect the interior, and it is a very good value considering what you get for your money. We will be returning!

Very charming house, but not very comfortable

We loved the house as far as the character and aesthetic goes, but the sofa and all of the beds are extremely uncomfortable. I hate to be “nit picky”, but all of the queen beds were very hard and made squeaky noises every time someone moved. My husband has sleep apnea and has to sleep on the sofa, and the sofa there had zero cushioning, we could feel the wood frame when just sitting on it. All of us slept horribly, I just would not expect a home that we paid such a high price for to be so uncomfortable.

Chapel Hill House

Overall this property fulfilled its purpose. There was a load of space that fit our family & guests comfortably. The house stayed warmer than we like, even turning down the AC. I think thicker blinds may help the heat not come in from the sun. Having a pool outside was great but the yard was a bit overgrown. Lastly, the grill that we used was not very clean & looked like it could be a fire hazard. We did enjoy our stay there!

House was big enough for all of us, we had plenty of space.

We will come back to the property. We had the shared pool to ourselves up until the last day of our stay. If bringing dogs, the yard is shared with Black Dog house, this posed problem the last day with the new arrivals as they tied their dogs up in the shared yard, but we loved the area, the house has every amenity you would need, it's close to the beach and all Pt A has to offer!

Plenty of space in the house we had total of 10 people, everyone was comfortable. Walking distance to the beach. Only issue is it’s not a private pool, you share with the next door neighbor. We wanted a private back yard and private pool. Other than that very nice place.

Fun time

We had a group of 12 adults and everyone fit but 2 of the noted beds are a day bed that was not very comfortable so they resorted to sleeping on the couch. The kitchen had almost everything you would need, lots of dishes and appliances. If you are looking for privacy this is not the place to stay as the property manager is around the house all of the time, although very nice. It was difficult to pack up and ensure you have everything because there is stuff everywhere in the house but we only left one item. There is plenty of personal space in the house. I would not recommend for small children. Overall great time and a comfortable place to stay.

Great house!

We were a party of 11 and were all very comfortable there. The beds were comfortable and met all our needs. Kitchen was very big and could accommodate multiple cooks. Shower curtains need to be tossed, they were moldy and stained. Multiple light bulbs in the house were out or not even in most of the lamps. Overall, we had a very nice stay.
