About the host
Hosted by Ed Horton
We live in the DFW area. We love coming to the beach house to relax and feel the sand in our toes. We love sharing our beach house with others so they can enjoy it too.
Why they chose this property
We love this quiet neighborhood, and many owners live in the subdivision. Emerald Beach 2 is one of the most desired neighborhoods. Our house is a short walk to the beach. We also love driving our vehicle and parking on the beach; set up your canopy, turn on your tunes and stay the day.
What makes this property unique
Our property with a Hot Tub has plenty of room for the kids to play games while the adults cook out on the BBQ grill, listening to your music on our blue tooth speakers and our outdoor hot and cold shower makes it easy rinse off the sand. Our Cargo Lift is wonderful for carrying up your groceries and luggage. This is not for Humans.
