Beach vacation

Great location between Corpus Christi and Rockport. The pool was great and being on the was a plus. We caught a lot of fish. The kids had a blast catching fish. The Howdy house was big enough to accommodate 5 kids and 5 adults. The kichen has everything you need. Nice house for a beach vacation. blast catching fish.

Another incredible stay

This was a return stay for us. Yet again, we had a wonderful, memorable experience at Howdy Bay. From a beautiful, spacious home- equipped with everything- to a fabulous outdoor space with the pool, kayaks, fishing and more. Everyone was always occupied and happy, which isn't easy for three children and two teens! Brian is always at the ready if we need anything, but he's anticipated pretty much everything so we didn't need to reach out much. We are grateful for the incredible time and perfect stay!

Lovely stay

Our stay was great and we really enjoyed the accommodations. We had 8 adults and 3 kids (ages 5, 11, & 13). My one recommendation is for there to be enough chairs or barstools for the max allowed people to gather in the dining/ kitchen area. Family meal times are special for us and we had to have 2 people standing. Other than that, it was clean, the living room was comfy, the pool and the deck were fun and we enjoyed fishing and kayaking. Also, the instructions were clear and check-in and check-out were easy! Thank you for a lovely stay!

Photos are accurate!

The photos of this house are REALLY what is there. Rooms are large, furniture is amazing! (No sinking to the floor on the couches) Kitchen is beautiful! There are quite a few small appliances available, a crockpot!!! The outer deck is so nice, no loose boards, comfortable deck chairs! The pool is incredible. We were there in April, so the water was cold, but the wind was colder! We fished off the upper deck, because the lower was too hard for us to navigate the steps. We didn't catch any record breakers, but we had a lot of fun feeding them shrimp. The neighborhood was suprisingly quiet, so peaceful and serene!! Definitely a 12 out of 10.

Great house

This house was great, clean, close to a lot of activities, and restaurants! We loved staying here. Fishing off the dock was great all times of the day. We caught all kinds of fish. The house was roomy, and everything you need in the kitchen for cooking. The owner was easy to get ahold of, and helped out very much. We appreciate getting to stay here, and would stay again!

Best VRBO property ever.

When we travel, we only stay in VRBO properties with excellent standards and impeccable amenities. We frequently travel to Rockport and while we have enjoyed previous stays at other properties, nothing compares to our time at Howdy Bay and our experience with Brian as host. Truly the best experience we've ever had with VRBO. First, the property is immaculate, sprawling and stunning. All the previous reviews are accurate; I echo what they've said! Beds are comfortable and abundant; furniture is superior. The kitchen was very well-stocked; we had four adults and five children who ate most meals in with ease- seating for all of us. The little touches are incredible- from a surplus of pillows and blankets to charger stations and Echo devices in every bedroom. Brian truly has thought of everything as a host, even in the pre-arrival instructions. The children were more than occupied out back between the pool, fishing, and using the kayak and SUP to explore the channel. Their highlight was the multiple times they chased after a couple of dolphins who swam by them, one with a calf! It was our first time to vacation with another family and have that many people under one roof. We had ample space, activities and everything we could have wanted. We spent the majority of the time at the house because it was simply perfect, the idyllic setting to make incredible memories. This truly is the one house, location and host we can't wait to book with again. A 10/10 perfect stay!

Fun Times!

We stayed 4 nights and enjoyed the house and the pool. The property manager, Brian, was extremely helpful and answered texts right away. The house was the right size for us (5 adults, 3 kids). Next time, I will stay downstairs though and give the upstairs room to a younger couple. The one thing that is not explained in the description (or we all missed it) was that the one bedroom w/ full bath is completely outside of the main house.

Perfect for Seniors

The age of our group ranged 53 to 78. With the kitchen, dining, living and 3 of the 4 bedrooms/baths being on the 1st floor, gathering in the very spacious kitchen, dinning/living area was very easy & comfortable. The 4th bedroom/bath on the 2nd floor provides a Southeast view towards Estes Flats. The pool (deeper than it looks in the photo) and back deck are shaded by the home in the afternoon.

Lovely ADA friendly home

3 generations stayed in your home and it was wonderful. My mom's walker & wheelchair were usable, even on the deck. The space was accommodating, the decor modern, and amenities plenty. Well appointed and small details proactively planned for. Thank you for also being a dog friendly home. This will likely be my mom's last family trip due to her health and we couldn't have chosen a more family friendly home that worked for us all. Thank you for providing a space for our memories!!
