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.

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.
