Loved our stay at Seabattical. It was comfortable for larger groups with ample space. The place has all the necessary amenities and then some. It is farther east on the peninsula making it less crowded in the summer - but also a little further away from restaurants. The only problem we had was with bad weather shutting down the ferry. Be sure to account for that possibility.

Family time

We loved the property and hope to rent again next year. The door handle was tough to operate, and we were only able to connect to the wifi next door with a weak signal but other than that...beautiful! Would recommend!

Extended family vacation

Property was very well thought out. If we needed something, it was there! Everything was fabulous inside and out. View of the ocean was spectacular. We will definitely be back. It was perfect for our family. ( we never did find a dust pan, though I’m sure there was one there but that is an easy problem to solve so we were good).

We lost power the last day due to a storm rolling in , but hardly noticed because we spent most of the time at the beach! Great for large groups.

Thanks for a great stay!

Great house; everything was clean, new, and well stocked. Spectacular views from the deck. My family had an excellent stay. This location is great for beachcombing as well. Just be sure to bring your bug spray (normal for this part of Texas). Would definitely recommend staying at Seabatical!
