About this property

Little Buena — Little Buena Vista

Beachy bohemian style, refreshing sea breezes, and peek-a-boo ocean views combine to create this laidback coastal retreat.

Your crew will love the ocean breezes and easy access to Terramar Beach. Mix up a pitcher of margaritas and kick back at this delightful Texas coast cottage.

Modest accommodations, beachy decor, and lots of sleeping options. Missed having a dishwasher and the AC was tricky and we woke up in 80 degrees temps The owners were quick to reply and assist. We appreciate the communication!! Perfect for small children!

The house had some significant cleanliness issues, with dirty walls, a bathroom that smelled of urine, and even some poop on the bathroom wall. The room layout was deceiving, with furniture blocking doors and closets. Plus, the third bedroom was actually a converted garage. While the location and pool size were okay, the overall experience was marred by the need for a deep clean. The house also had an issue with the AC going out, but the owner responded quickly by installing two window units to address the problem.
