Great check-in communication!!! While we only used the very basics, the home was stocked with everything you could possibly need. Rooms are spacious, beds were comfortable, and plenty of room and places to sit. This was a perfect location for our family. We will definitely stay again!! Thank you, Karen!!

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!

The house is amazingly updated. I couldn’t believe all the space and high end updates that have been done. All the beds were super comfy and the location was great for getting around town.

Another Great Stay!

This was our second year booking this property for our annual girl's trip, and again, everything was perfect! The house is clean, modern, and well decorated. The beds are so comfortable, communication is stellar, there is an abundance of towels, and the location was exactly what we wanted. I will book this property every time it is an option when I travel to Corpus.

Family reunion.

We enjoyed our stay. The house was comfortable, plenty of towels and beach towels. We used the charcoal grill one night and ate out or did take out the other evenings. The kitchen is well equipped. We would stay here again.

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.
