Weekend Getaway with Friends

The Jewel of the Nile was such a wonderful location for our stay! It was clean, super comfortable, and all the space was perfect for newborns and a toddler. Perfect kitchen for home cooked meals too. We had so much fun making memories with our friends!

Family Memorial Clean Up

If you are looking for a home away from home place to stay in Corpus Christi this is the place to stay. We've stayed at lots of rental and this by far is the best property we've stayed at. The house is fully stocked from kitchen to bathroom to bedroom. Our host Karen was great and answered all our questions. We will definitely stay here again.

great place for larger group

This is a great place to stay with a larger group. Lots of space to spread out. Location is good (easy access to highway going down to Padre Island). I wasn't quite sure what to make of the neighborhood as a whole (several houses had bars on windows, including this house - however, maybe that is more common in Corpus Christi). Having said that, we had no issues at all, and would not hesitate to return and stay here again.

Fabulous house!!!

We could not have been more pleased with this house! It’s bigger than it looks in photos and is beautifully renovated! Everything you could possibly need was available including all beach needs! Karen (host) was extremely responsive and helpful with some last minute changes. We give this house an A+ rating and hope for a chance to be back soon!!

VRBO 1st timer

This was my first experience with a non-hotel stay, all I can say is I hope they are all like this. The house was great the Property contact was great, I loved the experience and so did the family. Everything listed was accurate and it was a magnificent pleasure to stay at. I'm already making plans for additional stays including the same location again. The location was also great for the surrounding area, with easy access to several great things to do, beach-related and not.

Family fishing trip

We stayed Thursday night through Monday morning. We selected this property as my father had booked a guided fishing trip out of marker 37 over the weekend. This location was six minutes from H-E-B, and it only took 13 to 14 minutes to get out to the marker. The beds were very comfortable, and there was tons of space! The pool table was a fun addition!! I would definitely recommend us to families or anyone was more than four people doing a trip to corpus!! I was able to check out the Texas State aquarium and see the USS Lexington in the bay! It was a fun trip!.

Wonderful!

This house was wonderful. The photos don’t do it justice. All beds were very comfortable, the kitchen was stocked nicely, the back patio was private with nice patio furniture. Lots of room to accommodate four adults. Very clean. Safe area. Check in was a breeze. Lots of parking in the back. We would definitely stay there again.
