About this property
Best place to play, 'Hide and Go Seek'. Celebrities have...........
Oversized 2 bedroom, 1 bath vacation home that sleeps 3 and is located on the Tres Palacios Bay. This rare find is only a short walk to the parks, the beach, the marina, the fishing pier, the bank, the pharmacy, the library, and the downtown shops and restaurants............... Computer and smart-phone withdrawal is possible, but not required for tranquil living in this fishing village. Ideal location for writer or artist who prefers to work uninterrupted. Walk the sea wall for two miles or fish from the pier. Enjoy the sailors and shrimpers who come and go in the dazzling beautiful sunrises and sunsets. If you love birding, you will marvel at the largest number of species found anywhere in the United States. A replica of the La Belle sailing ship that was discovered in the Matagorda Bay is just steps away in the marina. Just two blocks away is the museum with an interesting accumulation of Palacios treasures from years gone by. Dine on fresh seafood from our port or savor Mexican or Asian foods from local family owned restaurants. Without the pandemonium of big city distractions, a type of restful detoxification may occur and a peace you won't soon forget can set in. This oversized unit was the private residence of the previous owner and was designed for comfortable living for two people.

About the host
Hosted by Chip & Carol Woolf
Chip and Carol Woolf are semi-retired
Why they chose this property
Wanted to retire on the water and enjoy the southern breezes, gardening and slowed down lifestyle. The frequent rains and climate make just about everything grow into a jungle and I love that. Facing the bay with the occasional wind storm, thunder and lightening is exciting and makes me smile. We love our neighbors who have become part of our extended family. I can't imagine why more people have not found Palacios but glad we did. It was a glorious gift.
What makes this property unique
Enjoy the almost constant breeze coming in from the bay.
The climate is great throughout the year and is enjoyed by winter Texans and Snowbirds escaping harsh conditions found further North in the winter months. Summers are for relaxing in the breezes without excessive heat
