My family is from Palacios and we have stayed at several homes there and this is by far the best home we have stayed in. My mother passed away on Monday morning and we decided to still go to Palacios and celebrate her. I will definitely be staying here again. The property was fully furnished. Plenty of towels, kitchen essentials and games for the kids. Not to mention the cable was a plus.

Great, comfortable place to stay

Came for a brief family visit & it was just what we were looking for. Clean, spacious! Loved that the bedrooms were on opposite sides of the house so everyone had their privacy. Quick walk to the water & had enjoyed feeding the outside cats 😊

About the host

Hosted by Jan Pierce

Why they chose this property

Our family is very passionate about the Texas Gulf Coast and loved how walkable the home's location is. We especially fell in love with the bay breeze and bay views from the porch.

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location! Walk one block north and you're in the historic downtown district with access to restaurants, one block east is the City by the Sea Museum, one block south is the bay with a fishing pier, boat ramp, and parks. You can not beat the location of this home.
