A family-friendly home that combines Texas practicality with subtle coastal touches. Open floor plan, functional kitchen, and the kind of space where groups can spread out without stepping on each other.
The main living area flows naturally from kitchen to dining to living room—no cramped hallways or furniture Tetris required. The kitchen actually works for cooking with full-size appliances, real counter space, and storage that makes sense. Three bedrooms handle different sleeping needs: master with king bed and desk area, comfortable queen guest room, and a kids' room with bunk beds featuring an impressive underwater mural that tends to settle bedtime negotiations quickly. Two full bathrooms prevent morning bottlenecks. The covered back patio extends your space outdoors, and the fenced yard gives kids and pets room to roam while adults supervise from the shade.

Quiet & safe neighborhood. The house has everything you need to make your stay run smoothly. A very thoughtful welcome. The kitchen and main living are updated and comfortable. The bedrooms are set up for options for more people to sleep. Check in : you have to watch a video to access the door code and wifi.. with a damage waiver in the middle. That’s not usually the case when I stay at vrbo but I suspect with the development around Abilene it’s best for the property manager. We were in town for a family wedding weekend so only there to sleep and we slept well!
