I have to be honest—this was a last-minute 2 a.m. booking, so we didn’t pay much attention to the location. We looked at a few reviews, the price, the number of rooms, and booked it. The next day we realized it was a bit farther from the beach than we expected. While it is about an hour and a half from Mustang Island in Corpus Christi, we discovered Lighthouse Beach and absolutely loved it. The drive ended up being well worth it, and the little town itself is charming.The host was exceptional and responded quickly to every question we had. The home was spotless, welcoming, and even more beautiful in person. The view is easily a 10/10, and the peaceful atmosphere made it easy to relax.Depending on the time of year, expect mosquitoes, frogs, moss, and other little critters—that’s just part of being surrounded by nature. For us, it only added to the experience.The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen was gorgeous and fully stocked with everything we needed, and the view from the kitchen and deck overlooking the river was incredible. Having a laundry room was a huge bonus and made traveling with our family so much easier.Overall, we had a phenomenal stay and will absolutely be returning. If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway with beautiful scenery and a wonderful host, this is the place.
