I really enjoyed our stay. The house was perfect for our family of 6. Outdoor deck was perfect. It had great coverage from the sun and a great view of Space X.
This was the cleanest rental we have ever stayed at. They had lots of fresh towels, plenty of kitchen supplies, and everything we would need. The location would be amazing to watch SpaceX. We went for a fishing trip and would love to return to watch a launch someday. Would definitely stay here again!
This was our 2nd time staying at this amazing cottage. Our family had a wonderful time everything was above expectations and cleanliness of property is superb. We loved our stay.
My family & I went for a quick weekend trip to the coast. We had a good time. The house was very clean & had everything we needed inside. The owner was very helpful & I liked how she kept in touch if we needed anything & if there were any problems or questions she was very easy to reach.
I booked this property for the sole purpose of watching a Starship launch in person. The cottage was comfortable and well kept. Plus, there is a prefect view of the launch pad from the deck. Unfortunately, the launch was delayed several times, but Jessica was gracious enough to extend my stay each time. It was a great experience and I plan to book this unit again for a future launch.
This is an amazing property. It has a great view of Space X and sense of privacy. We loved watching the barges pass thru the Intercoastal Waterway. We could even witness ships on their way to Brownsville port. The owners are exceptional. Always answered or returned my calls (which were minimal). The property was very clean and our bed was very comfortable. A great place to stay. If you are a pickel ball player, LIV is the place to go.
I probably should not share my thoughts because we really want to be able to book again lol. The location is perfect in Port Isabel and just a short ride to SPI and Boca Chica. It is so comfortable and we felt right at home. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. We were able to watch the launch from the back patio. I cannot describe the feeling watching the launch. You could hear the sonic booms and felt the vibrations it was the most incredible experience for all of us. We did not spend much time at the amenities LIV has to offer but maybe next time.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful home with us.
House is beautiful and very clean. It is a duplex, which we didn’t notice in the listing ahead of time, and the boat pictured blocks the majority of the dock on the rented side. Jessica was very helpful and reached out to her neighbors for permission to use their dock to fish from, which we greatly appreciated. The house is in a nice neighborhood, but you do have to pay a 92 fee at check in for the amenities, though we never used them and never planned to. The internet was down until the last night we stayed due to the neighbors damaging the cables while working in their yard, which also meant there was no tv. Jessica reached out to notify me before we had even noticed it was down and stayed in contact through the entire repair process. The 2nd floor bedroom is open with no door, which was a little challenging with small children, but we managed. Wonderful host, nice property.

We’d be delighted to welcome you back anytime—our doors are always open to you. Thank you again, and we hope to host you again soon!
I had a great stay in Jan and Feb '24. The house was very clean, updated and very well stocked with pretty much everything you'll need in the kitchen, etc.
The house is in a perfect location in the community so that the deck overlooks an open area and Boca Chica (SpaceX) and not on top of your neighbors. Also, the deck faces south (I think) and gets a great afternoon sun in Jan/Feb.
Aaron was very responsive and an excellent host!
Everyone that I met in the Long Island Village community was super friendly. The community facilities are a bit dated, but offered a lot to do with pools, hot tubs, tennis, pickle ball, billiards room, ping pong, shuffleboard and more.
There is an 18 hole par-3 course that was fun to play. It's great for working on your short game, but it could be maintained better. For example, the greens are not cut short. If you like playing pristine courses, you probably won't love it.
All-in-all it's a great place with great owners. I'd definitely stay again!
Incredible Experience and owners are extremely responsive. This is a 5 star place hands down. I strongly recommend if you're looking for a peaceful fun experience.
Lovely sea cottage, newly remodeled and decorated. Very pleasant and comforting. Complete kitchen for preparing any meals, if you wish. Comfortable furniture and bedding. The outside deck is covered and very comfortable. Great stay!
