Beautiful Beachfront Views

Location, location, location!! We had a wonderful relaxing visit this weekend at A Texas Star. We love this home because of the incredible views (more than a block with no other house in front of us!) The house had everything we needed and was clean and comfortable. We definitely will come stay here again!

Excellent - 5 Stars

The home was beautiful and spacious. It was a minute walk to the beach, perfect for those who want to bring chairs and a canopy but don't want to drive their car. The area was quiet, the beach goers were pleasant.

Awesome Home

Great view and easy access to the beach! Deck is great. Sleeps more than we needed, home was very comfortable with 7 women. Kitchen and bathrooms were stocked more than expected. Kitchen is very compact. Team was very responsive with communications. Side note: If you use face washcloths, they are not an amenity that is provided :) We would stay again!

Fabulous ocean views

Our family loved our stay at this gorgeous beachfront home with unobstructed views of the ocean 24-7. We made multiple trips to the beach for walks, seagulls, and sandcastles. This home has three large bedrooms and each has a private bathroom and entrance to the deck. The kitchen is well stocked and they have an arcade and other games and movies for inside family time. Very, very relaxing and comfortable home, especially the two decks to hang out and enjoy the views!
