Awesome!
Great stay again! Clean and great location. Has pretty much everything you need, a Keurig coffee make would be great since I’m the only one who drinks coffee (there is a standard coffee maker though). Hot tub down the street was nice but not hot enough for February. But we will definitely stay here again!

Family time on the Island!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our week at the beach. We had 10 family members staying at this property. Plenty of room for everyone, a 5 minute walk to the beach, a 5 minute drive to town. I gave a 4 for maintenance because there were a few nails sticking up on the deck & we had little kids with us.

House is nice and roomy and well-appointed, which is what we paid a hefty price for. The house, unfortunately, has a roach issue that seriously needs to be addressed. When all food has to be placed in bags and stored in the fridge, and when you have to check your linens for critters, that's a problem. Short walk to beach was pleasant. The neighborhood is quiet. Easy driving to Corpus and neighboring beaches.

Great place
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This location was a great place to stay and we will certainly rent again. The house is spacious with enough room for a large family. The house was clean and the beds were all comfortable. The driveway is large enough to park up to four vehicles. You can access the beach via the boardwalk, so renting a golf cart is suggested.
