Our stay was perfect! I really appreciated that Daniel and Sam had things like shampoo and body wash available to us, because I managed to forget ours at home. The condo is nice and cozy, beautifully decorated and very clean. It was nice to get up in the mornings and sit on the balcony admiring the view. Daniel and Sam were great hosts, they made sure to check in with us each day to see how our stay was going and if we needed anything else. We had an excellent trip and would definitely recommend them as hosts!

Christiana's place was exactly as described. The area was perfect for walking to the beach and we used the heated pool multiple times during our December visit. We could also walk to restaurants and stores - or a short drive to even more amenities. Everything in the condo was clean and comfortable.

I highly recommend John's place for your next stay. The spacious, fenced-in yard and well-equipped, generously sized home exceeded our expectations. Every detail was carefully considered, ensuring a comfortable stay for our family with no complaints. The view was incredible with the beach just steps away, and we cannot wait to return!

The 12 of us came for the Lone Star Rally weekend. With the rain this was the perfect house. We spent more time relaxing in the multiple cool out spaces around the property, playing game. We eventually made out to the rally. Bring your fishing poles a short walk and you’ll be dropping lines. My bike broke down and the tow wasn’t going to arrive by checkout. I notified Todd and he allowed us to wait on the property until it came. We also made friends with a talkative goat next door (Billy ). I highly recommend this home. WARNING if your GPS sends you down the first left after the ferry PLEASE use the alternate route. Water covers the road during rain & tides a good spot to fish but not drive.

My family loved Clint’s home! It was so hard to leave that during checkout I contacted Clint and booked another day. Everything was as described. I loved the 2 living spaces. The patio area was beautiful. My husband and sister enjoyed fishing right in the backyard! We will definitely book again.

Sandra was a great host, easy & quick communication. She really cares that you have everything you need. This is a very well equipped apartment. The most important thing for me was the unobstructed beach view. The place was nicely decorated for Christmas and was very clean. We enjoyed our stay & would definitely stay here again.

Kristin & Timothy were super proactive and sent plenty of helpful information before I needed it at each interval of the anticipation and duration of my trip! I was most impressed with their communication. I booked this specific place so that I could sit on the balcony and enjoy the sights and sounds of the beach, and it 100% met my needs. I was also please that it was right near a traffic light with a cross walk so that I wouldn't have to play Frogger if I wanted to take a stroll on the sand. It was very convenient to everything I needed access to while I was in town for a convention at Moody Gardens. The linens were clean and smelled fresh and all the surfaces looked and felt clean. Would recommend!
