The Inland Tide 3 bedrooms • 2 bath • Entire home

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.
