I hope you are doing well. Are you home yet? We enjoyed your being with us and would love for you to come visit us again. I hope the snow and storms have stopped for you. Some of our winter Texans were staying a bit longer due to weather "up north". Have a great summer and hope to have you visit again. Jan

Why they chose this property

Our family is very passionate about the Texas Gulf Coast and loved how walkable the home's location is. We especially fell in love with the bay breeze and bay views from the porch.

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location! Walk one block north and you're in the historic downtown district with access to restaurants, one block east is the City by the Sea Museum, one block south is the bay with a fishing pier, boat ramp, and parks. You can not beat the location of this home.
