City by the Sea

A wonderful Easter weekend in Palacios. Just across the street from the historic Luther Hotel and a block from Tres Palacios Bay, this cottage was a perfect spot for a getaway from the big city. Several high quality restaurants are located within walking distance, and a wide variety of other options are available nearby. We also loved meeting Donna Gato, and look forward to seeing her again when we return this summer.

55 yr reunion

We really enjoyed the stay. The house was nice. Had problems with the internet and tv, but that was more the Indian than the arrow. Finally figured everything out. I had on a boot because of an Achilles tear. The walk from the carport to the house was difficult. I would recommend a walkway, paving stones, or the like.

My family is from Palacios and we have stayed at several homes there and this is by far the best home we have stayed in. My mother passed away on Monday morning and we decided to still go to Palacios and celebrate her. I will definitely be staying here again. The property was fully furnished. Plenty of towels, kitchen essentials and games for the kids. Not to mention the cable was a plus.
