Great place with all the supplies you need!

There was a good amount of dishes, and all the cookware you could need to cook anything. Place was clean. Kids shower has terrible water pressure but that’s my only complaint. I’m sure the owners will have fixed it by the time you read this! Great communication.

Clean, luxurious, and extremely cozy!

I stayed here with my family of 11 people and we all had a great time. The house is very clean, cozy, and extremely comfortable. Everyone felt like they had their own space. The house is equipped with pretty much everything you need. The only thing i would recommend is a blender. We wanted to make smoothies and milkshake's for the kids, but they didn't have a blender. But other than that everything was great. The weather was stormy one day when we were there and we couldnt go to the beach so we all went down to the garage and played games. It was nice having a relaxing and fun atmosphere for the kids and adults to keep us occupied while we waited out the storm to pass. The owners of the house are extremely great hosts as well. Everytime we messaged them about a problem they replied back asap. For example: The grass in the yard was pretty high when we gotnthere and we messaged them and asked if we could mow the yard to eliminate the mesquitos and they replied back asap and told us that the lawn was supposed to be mowed on thursday but it was raining and it had been raining alot and thats why it wasnt mowed. So they got someone out there super quick and fixed the problem for us so we could enjoy the rest of our stay there. I highly recommend staying here for your vacation home. You wont be disappointed.

Welcome Home!
Whether you've just arrived or spent the entire day in the car, the great news is that you are finally home. So, take off your shoes, grab your favorite beverage, sit back, relax, and make yourselves comfortable!
Allow me to take a moment to introduce you to our loving family. My wife Rebecca and I have been happily married for 17 wonderful years, and together we are raising three incredible children. Growing up in Texas, we both come from humble beginnings, raised by hardworking blue collar parents who instilled in us the values of determination, diligence, and a relentless pursuit of success in everything we do.
As our family has grown, we have found immense joy in creating unforgettable vacation experiences and exploring new horizons together. Following a family tragedy in 2016, our travels became more frequent and profound, sparking our passion for establishing a small family business. Our goal is to provide other families, like ours, with the opportunity to enjoy the breathtaking beauty of the Texas coast.
We want to assure you that we have poured our hearts, souls, and endless amounts of effort into creating this beach house experience. Our journey has been marked with sacrifices, hard work, and tears, all with the fervent hope of delivering the exceptional experience your family deserves. From catching those big fish to making memories that will last a lifetime, we have wholeheartedly devoted ourselves to making your stay truly remarkable.
