We had a really great stay. The hosts were very friendly, kind, and easy to communicate with. They sent clear instructions ahead of time which made everything smooth and stress-free. The place itself was very clean and comfortable, and their dogs were incredibly sweet which made the visit even more special. Overall it was a welcoming and positive experience, and we truly appreciated their hospitality.

Nice property, good location for our needs

We were there on a little birding vacation. This property gave us good access to many local sites and was conveniently located to Ocean Dr and what it has to offer.

Cozy little apartment by the bay.

Great Getaway For Couples

This was our first visit to Corpus Christi and we could not have found a better place to stay! This little guest house is perfect for couples. It was very centrally located for everything we needed. This place was comfortable and the neighborhood was quiet. Could not give this place higher praise, we would love to stay here in the future.

Fun Little Beach Cottage

This is a great little property for a couple or family of 4 like us. The guys that live in the main house are very friendly and made us feel welcome right away. The kids loved playing with their doggies too. The yard is beautiful and you can see some neat wildlife, including parakeets and lizards. The house itself is quaint but so affordable and the bed was surprisingly comfortable!
