Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2001
As we approached retirement, Pat and I decided to purchase a property on the beach. We had lived on the beach in Hawaii when wee first got married and wanted to hear the sound of the ocean waves as we slept. Subsequent to our purchasing the home we were invited to live in Nacgodoches Tx. next to our grandchildren. We retired. moved to Nacgodoches Tx and subsequently rent our retirement property when we are not there,
Why the Owner Chose Quintana
The home is only 200 miles from our home is Nacgodoches or a three hour drive. The beach is remote with only 6 homes on the entire Quintana Island on the beach. The town of Quintana has a population of about fifty, but it is adjacent to Freeport, Lake Jackson and Surfside which have all the restaurants and service of a major city. Additionally we our only 1 hour from downtown Houston with all the culture of a large city.
The Unique Benefits of this Home on the Beach
We have a Hot Tub overlooking the ocean,a dock for fishing and crabbing in the rear of the home, and available surf fishing and swimming out the front door, The beach is remote and occupied by few if any.
