Very Nice Place

We enjoyed our stay. The property was as advertised, very clean and in a nice location. Close to the different beach locations. We especially liked the floor plan, the two bedrooms were across the main living area from each other, so there was a sense of space and privacy. We also appreciated being able to bring our dogs and have an enclosed courtyard. We would definitely stay here again.

Cozy Cottage

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: Comfortable cozy quaint stay. Like that the back door was right outside the community pool, very convenient. The small enclosed yard is perfect for children. If you have small to medium size pets, I believe it would be great for them as well. Plenty of seating outdoors & indoors. Has just about everything you need to cook. The only issue I found was the lock on the gate, it was not aligned with the latch which made it extremely hard to use. Overall the establishment was perfect. We definitely recommend this place for your next stay.

There was an adorable little yard perfect to watch a beautiful Texas sun set. This place was decorated so cute and had all the things you needed for a comfortable stay. Only negative was the door to the pool wouldn’t stay shut you had to lock it to keep it closed.
