About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

NEWLY REMODELED OVERSIZED 2nd row beach house sleeps 14+, 75 yards to the water.

Cheaper than beach first row houses, but only 25 yards further from the beach with an almost identical view and feel (no roads to cross, we're on the beach side of the main road). The wind and ocean spray are there. That magical beachy smell of the ocean.... Our roomy, beachy comfortable 2nd row Gulf of Mexico house with full amenities including a kitchen full of utensils and dishes, a full sized washer and dryer, three large bedrooms down and a giant studio/playroom/room-full-of-4-giant-bunkbeds with a full bath upstairs is just 75 yards to the beach on the beach side of San Luis Pass Road. You can listen to the waves all night! The house has a large kitchen table and a newly remodeled open kitchen so everyone can work together to make dinner.

It has great WiFi with smart TV's (Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc.), ceiling fans, standing fans, good a/c in the summer and warm toasty heating in the winter upstairs and down. The beach is wide, clean and not busy and RIGHT THERE! The sand is soft and fluffy. This is a perfect get away spot about 13 miles west of the end of the Seawall. Also has a coffee maker, toaster, microwave, brand new dishwasher, new retro fridge and new oven/stove. We do our best to keep it stocked with dishes and flatware and cookware, salt/peper, cooking spray, coffee and fixins. We've got dish soap and laundry soap and full sized washer/dryer. We've got an ironing board and iron. We stock toilet paper, paper towels, and bath towels. It's got smoke alarms, and a blasting hot and cold outdoor shower. Two new beach-side decks (upper and lower), too! You will love it!

Many family celebrations
In one weekend, we celebrated our son's birthday, our daughter-in-law's birthday, Mother's Day, and the gender reveal of our newest granddaughter. Location and this home were perfect for our needs. Everything listed on the property description was accurate, if maybe a bit more "well-used" than expected. We found everything we needed right at home to make this a great weekend. The layout of the house number of bathrooms, well-working AC, and all the other amenities made it a very easy peaceful weekend. In the location, simple, easy walk to the beach with no vehicle traffic was excellent! A great value and a great place to stay. Thanks!

Filthy
Upon arrival we did a walk through to find a completely filthy house. The kitchen had mouse turds in several cabinets and we saw roaches as well. The cookware was substandard. There was only 1 partial roll of toilet paper, in the upstairs bathroom for 3 bathrooms. The floor fans were discusting. The pillows and beds were also filthy. The broom had lots of dirt and hair hanging off it. The grass was about three weeks overdue for mowing and I could not let my grand kids play in it for fear of what might be in it.the upstairs carpet was filthy and needs to be replaced. When it rained we had water come in the upstairs patio door and through one of the bedroom windows. On day 3 we had to throw away a dozen doughnuts we bought that day and other food due to an ant infestation. We had pictures and gave them to the cleaning lady. The owner said he was sending a partial refund but i have not yet received it. I feel it should be a total refund due to complete disrepair and filth. This place is a horrible representation for VRBO i do have pictures but don't see a place to attach them.

A++ Location Beach House
We met up with other family members at the Passing Winds Beach House. The location was perfect - right off the road and only one house between us and the beach. We could sit on the deck and see family playing on the beach. It was almost like having your own personal beach. There were food trucks right across the street, restaurants nearby and a small grocery store 4.5 miles away called the Seven Seas. Everyone loved their vacation at the Passing Winds!

Great for a family
The place was great! Easy walk to the beach and the upstairs area was fantastic and allowed for the 3 children with us to have their own space while the adults had their own space downstairs. Host was also very fast to respond when I reached out about the fridge not working, but he quickly guided me on how to easily fix the problem and all things went great after that!
