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).

Amazing
We enjoyed every minute! The house was so clean and well stocked! The upstairs loft was absolutely perfect our kids they had their own tv and bathroom! Everything was perfect! 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!
