Well stocked & then some! Everything we needed was stocked in the kitchen & pantry. The hosts have thought of everything! The house was clean. The view is spectacular. The hosts are quick to respond and kind. Nice to have a separate downstairs Captains Quarters. We spent most of our daytime hours downstairs enjoying the breeze. Downstairs has a cooled mini fridge waiting for beverages!Dolphins were spotted from the dock!We will be visiting again.

The home was just as described. The area was quiet and perfect for a quick getaway. We loved the pier and enjoyed spending a few hours fishing. The covered area underneath the house was a great place to sit and watch a storm coming in. The house had everything that we needed and Judy was a great host, calling to make sure that we had arrived and had everything that we needed. Would definitely return!

About the host

Hosted by Judy Chavez

Host profile image
My husband Val and I grew up in Palacios and raised our 4 children here. We love this town and the water and never thought we could own a home on the water. We lived happily at Valyn's Landing for many years until our family just grew too big and we needed more space. A piece of our hearts stay with the property even though we only live a few miles away!

Why they chose this property

Our property was our family home for many years and we took great care of it. We take pride in sharing the home we made so many great memories in with our children, grandchildren, and friends. You will love the open concept of the living space which allows for water views from just about every room. You will enjoy the private pier as you fish, sunbathe, swim, or porpoise watch. Palacios is a great little town that will remind you of a simpler time.

What makes this property unique

We bought this property for the outdoor space, private pier, and amazing view. The home needed extensive remodeling and updating which we did and continue to do. Outdoor security camera has been added for extra comfort .
