Communication was near instantaneous. Lots of work with details that made our stay easier. Great location for Corpus Christi centered vacations. Sun rise each morning from the deck was wonderful. Easy boat access from Bluffs Landing Marina and the ICW.

Beautiful gem

Everything was amazing on our visit. Loved fishing off the back deck! We were able to catch some catfish and black drums. The hottub was definitely a plus. Yes, the smell of seaweed is a bit heavy but what do you expect when you're staying right off of the water!? House was way bigger than expected and we had plenty of room to stretch our legs and then some.My only complaint is that we didn't book to stay longer. Michelle was very attentive on every question we had and quick to respond. Will definitely be back next year!Thanks again.-Reyes family

Guys Trip

This house was a perfect place to stay for our group of guys. There was plenty of room for everyone, the house was clean and open. Love the patios and getting to fish off the back porch. We caught catfish, redfish, and speckled trout! A short drive to the beach and a H-E-B right down the road. Perfect house for big groups!

Great stay, great times always

Enjoyed our stay here once again. Best property management. Super responsive and always in a very timely manner!! The only thing that would make this stay better is some additional lighting outside in the backyard. The ring cameras do not produce enough light to properly light the area in the backyard. And the Motion camera constantly goes off and leaves us in the dark. T but we will definitely be staying here again!!

Beach Getaway

This property could hold a large crowd. There were not enough blankets or pillows For the beds that were already there. We brought blankets and pillows, which saved our sleeping arrangements, but they were not provided by the owner. There was a book that also told us if we moved any furniture that if we did not replace the furniture from its original position, we were going to be fined.. I did like the location of this beach house and it was clean. Just be aware that you may have to bring sheets and blankets of your own. The kitchen was well stocked. Arriving at 4 o’clock seemed late and leaving at 10:00 AM. Seemed a bit early for a crowd of 19. The space was sufficient for that Many people. The large dining area allowed us to help play games. The young children had plenty to do. The public beaches nearby.
