Loved the set up of the property! Loved being able to open the doors in the living room and enjoy the fresh air breeze!! Loved the small balcony and view !! My dog really enjoyed the balcony as well. The bathroom is also very nice. Due to the window unit not working in the bedroom it was very warm getting ready after a shower in the bath and bedroom.

The room with the bed you sleep in doesn’t not have the greatest of AC. It’s a window unit & I asked about it and never got an answer. It was not a bad stay but wish I would have known about the ac issue and answered when asked. Pictures look like what you get. Overall good stay just not great.

Unfortunately, our stay wasn’t what we had hoped.The biggest issue was the bedroom/bathroom A/C. I noticed a review from May mentioning the same problem, and because the host had responded, I assumed it had been resolved. Unfortunately, it hasn’t. The small, rusted window unit wasn’t able to keep either the bedroom or bathroom cool enough to be comfortable or sleep in during the Texas summer. We ended up sleeping in the living room since it stayed much cooler.Also, if you plan on using the fold-down futon, be aware that it’s not very comfortable for two adults.On the positive side, the location is great. you can easily walk to the beach, which was definitely the highlight of our stay.

Pet friendly and great beach view access. The air conditioning in the bedroom didn’t work but other than that a nice quiet place to stay for a month.

The listing had a few reviews mention problems with the air conditioner, they are still a problem. The wall unit in the living room is extremely old and had mold in it, and so did the window unit in the bedroom. The bedroom unit was extremely loud and we had trouble sleeping. The living room unit had trouble keeping the room cool, it was set to 65 when we arrived but felt like 75 inside, neither ever stopped running. We checked in, got settled then went to watch tv while we were deciding what to eat and the wifi was not working and there was no cable or antenna. I brought up the wifi issue to the listing company and they told me to reset the router, which there was none, I checked every cabinet, cupboard and closet. I told them this and they said they would reach out to the owner and have it working the next day. Spent all day at the beach and got fast food and the wifi still was not working. We ended up watching a tv show on my girlfriends phone. We just wanted to relax after the beach and watch Ted Lasso. Was not the worst trip but I would look for another listing when I come back next time.

Perfect for our little family

This is a great location, very close to the beach and very clean. The bedroom and bathroom areas have us enough space to read out a little. Our family, including our dog, was very comfortable and it was easy walking distance to the beach and local attractions for my son who has Down Syndrome. The only thing I have a negative comment about is the fact that the garbage was overflowing and not picked up, therefore, we didn’t have a place to put ours. We also took care of several ants that were in the living room area near the sliding door. Overall, we’d stay here again in a heartbeat. Loved every minute.

Hello Emily, thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review! We're thrilled to hear that your family — including your pup felt comfortable and enjoyed the space, especially the convenient access to the beach and nearby attractions. It means a lot to know the location worked well for your son, too. We truly appreciate you bringing the trash and ant issues to our attention — we’re sorry for the inconvenience and will be sure to follow up with our team to prevent this in the future. Trash pick up is scheduled every Monday so we are so sorry if it wasn't serviced during your stay. We're so glad you loved your time here overall, and we’d be honored to host you again anytime!

Would have liked advance notice that there are steep stairs to be climbed in order to get to or leave the unit. I'm a senior with sore knees... I made it work, but in the future I will always ask about this.Also would have been nice to have instructions on how to use and adjust the a/c unit.

We also provide a house manual in the home with instructions, including how to use and adjust the A/C unit.

I was unable to stay as the property was under construction and am still waiting for my refund. I even showed up an hr and a half after my check in and it still wasn't ready and the construction crew advised me that the a/c did not work either. Thank you
