The location of this house was perfect for our weekend with our daughter and son-in-law! Close to everything including shopping, restaurants and bay. The house is an older home but the owners have thought of everything to make it comfortable and welcoming. Thank you! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aimee W. Jul 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great house! Close to beaches and dining. Great stay and close to the island campus where our son will be in the Fall. Also close to several beaches, restaurants and shopping. My only suggestion would be to bring beach/folding or lounge chairs if you want to sit outside. Only a couple of chairs on the patio. ##### Aimee W.

Feb 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Escaping Kansas Winter This nicely decorated house with a spacious kitchen provided us also with a large fenced-in backyard for our dog. We enjoyed having two bathrooms close to the primary bedroom. Once we found the router for a quick reboot, the internet connection was good. Heating and AC worked well and was easy to control. The house has beautiful wood floors and new ceramic tile in the kitchen and one of the bathrooms. It was a good location to the city and various beaches, and we met friendly neighbors when we were out walking the dog. ##### Vaun K. Stayed 8 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susanna C. Jul 17, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Close to the beaches ⛱️ My family enjoyed our stay! It truly was a home away from home. An HEB grocery store is not too far, so shopping for groceries/essentials came easy. The buttons for the lighting/opening AC vents took a few minutes to figure out, but nothing too hectic. I'm still willing to vacay here again! ##### Susanna C. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Debra K W. Jun 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A very comfortable stay! This house has a very comfortable vibe to it, it felt like home. The property is spacious and layed out nicely so you have lots of room and don't feel cramped. It's off the main road so it's very quiet yet located just a block from Ocean Drive and has convenient access to everything we needed. Contacting the host was easy and they were very responsive in helping us figure out the door lock. The only problems we had was there were no hand towels in the kitchen and only a partial roll of paper towels, and each bathroom had partial rolls of tissue on the dispensers and only one extra roll of toilet tissue available between the two bathrooms. We used bathroom hand towels in the kitchen and unrolled half the toilet paper roll to share between the two bathrooms. Minor inconveniences of necessary items. Other than that the stay was perfect and we would definitely stay there again! ##### Debra K W. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cyan D. Jul 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Older home with modern amenities This was such a cute house! You can tell it was a little bit older, but the owners have done a great job of adding in modern touches. Wireless phone chargers and tower fans just as examples. It very close to the ocean. I just wish it was a little closer to the actualy beach. However its just a short drive. Overall it was a great place to stay ##### Cyan D. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Steven V. Oct 21, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Corpus family Not perfect but, excellent all in all. Location was great, very safe and close to everything Corpus. House was clean, beds comfortable, eat in kitchen very nice ( no toaster), the rest of the furniture was ok and sparse. Drive way is horrible, huge cracks and a big dip as you enter. Cars will bottom out entering. The electrical is a puzzle as most switches do nothing, backyard lighting didn't work, they said they would fix, but never showed up. ##### Steven V. Stayed 12 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Kathy J. May 30, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Aberdeen This is a spacious 3 bedroom home with plenty of room to spread out. We loved all the window seats and pillows and blankets that made our stay very cozy! The eat in kitchen was a great space, but plan to bring everything you need. Basic pots and pans are available. Bring a cooler for ice if needed as the ice machine in the fridge is non working. The location right off Ocean Drive was perfect for early morning walks. While we didn’t use the back yard space this time, we would definitely consider bringing our fur babies for the fenced in yard and covered patio. Bring your own lawn chairs if you want to enjoy the patio. As this seems to be a newer rental option, there are a few things being added or worked out but The owners were very responsive to our needs and very easy to work with! We’ll be back! ##### Kathy J.
