New Years with friends
Absolutely amazing! Check in was super easy. We were handed a key ring with several keys, had to play with them to find the right one. The storm door raised, and another door awaited the next key. Once in, we were so taken back. It was perfect! We opened up the storm shutters and saw the beach just steps away. Breathtaking!We highly recommend this property and would love to stay again during warmer months.

2nd time staying here
The location is unbeatable. Its literally right on the beach with decks that stretch out just feet from the sand. The house is spacious and has most everything you need. I do have to say though that the house needs a little updating. One of the rocking chairs is broke. Like i almost fell out of it when i sat in it. The speaker is blown on the tv in the living room. There is only one bedroom with a TV and its not the master. Under the kitchen sink is kinda gross and is leaking and moldy. I really hope these things can be fixed by next year, because i would love to stay here again if it is. The location makes this rental. The beach was beautiful when we came. We spent a lot of time riding the beach on our 4-wheeler. The water was clean enough to see your feet when out deep enough for the water to reach my chest.

Anniversary trip
The location of this house is absolutely amazing. The views from the deck were beautiful. There was a lot of seating and places to sleep if you were to bring a group (we may be back with some family) I wish the extra TV would have been in the master bedroom instead of smaller room. The house could have been cleaned better. The comforters on the beds had stains and there was sand left on the tables. We had to put the sheets on the beds ourselves so i saw that the matress protector and pillows looked old and had stains. The downstairs area had quite a bit of trash laying around. We just cleaned up a bit ourselves when we got there. Other than that everything else was perfect. Me and my husband had a wonderful weekend.

Beyond 5-Star!!
Our family full of educators have been VRBO customers for many years. Every year we do a week on the Texas coast. The most important things to us are easy access to the water and comfort of the house. The pictures of the location do not do justice- It’s the best location and beach access we’ve ever had! First of all, you’re sitting on almost an acre of beachfront property. This means your neighbors aren’t close at all! You walk out the front door to literally the ocean in your front yard and two large decks to accommodate daytime and evening sounds and sights of the water right in front of you. Swedes was available for any question 24-hour a day and provided excellent customer service. Will definitely stay here again!

1st time at the beach for the grandbaby
The house fit all the requirements for a fun weekend. Our 14 month old grandson got to experience the beach for the first time and we got to see his joy. The house was easy access to the beach and plenty of room for us all. Would rent this house again!

Great property with great location. Loved the view from the deck and how easy it was to go to the beach. We were away from the hustle and bustle of town, yet close enough to go to the gift shops and stores. Will definitely be coming back
