The property is great, plenty of places to be in or out of the sun. The beds were awesome. Downside- Dead roaches all around the house. Went into the kitchen, and the cabinets were filled with live roacheswould consider staying there again. just needs some pest control

Plenty of room, but beware the bugs!

The location was great and the place had plenty of room to spread out. But the uninvited visitors (bugs) and the feeling that this place was set up for large groups (read college students) made our stay only marginal. :(

Amazing stay

The place was spotless, with every corner meticulously clean and well-maintained. The highlight, though, was the stunning view from the living room. The atmosphere was peaceful, and it was the perfect spot to relax and unwind. I’d highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a clean, scenic getaway.

Thanksgiving family Gathering

The Tranquil Home was the perfect place for our large family gathering. Our teens enjoyed the game room activities, smores by the fire while the adults fired up the pit for some good Texas style bar-be-cue. My husband and I enjoyed our morning coffee in the upstairs master suite as we watched a breath taking Sunrise. Although there were some inconveniences such as some of the appliances did not work and the plumbing had issues we were able to get through. All and all our family time was priceless and memorable.

TEXAS POOL

Everything about this property is amazing, my family and I had an incredible time. The pool is a lot bigger than it looks in pictures. All of the rooms were clean and nicely decorated. We cannot wait to return but would recommend staying for more than one night!! PS: we got to see the dolphins from the dining rooms window

Breathtaking

This property was hands down gorgeous. There was enough room for everyone. The pool was amazing. The host was amazing. There was a few gnats, but it’s the beach so that was to be expected. Not so much of a pest to ruin our time. The pool is not heated and we didn’t mind at all. It was hot enough outside for us to just dive in. Honestly I miss this place already! I have been singing this property praises to whoever would listen, lol
