Perfect for our family!

This was a great central location for the activities we wanted to do in Pt. Aransas and Corpus Christi. The guest house was very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed to cook meals. The owners gave us our privacy, but were very kind and available for anything we needed. We would absolutely stay here again!

Good weekend stay

Great place for the weekend. Friendly hostess that was in communication regularly prior to arrival. I even added a guest just a day before we arrived and there were no issues. (We were still within the 4 person limit) Property was clean and functional.

Private get away

We booked about 10 days in advance and had great communication throughout the process and the stay. The property is in a great location and ready to pull a boat through. The first house is clean, decently cirrhosis and has a great out door attached with a grill.. The(5) of us were comfortable, but might suggest bringing a mattress pad for the tuition.

Wonderful stay!

This is a very lovely property, private and secluded, heavily treed yard and very shady. Grilling and eating out in the back yard was a delight. Very clean and spacious unit. We locked ourselves out and had to reach out to the owner who came in 5 minutes to rescue us! Talk about being responsive!! This place is amazing!! Highly recommend.

Wonderful Stay

This place was perfect for what we were needing for a quick beach getaway. The driveway has plenty of parking which was a plus. The cabin sit a ways back from the road so you feel like you are not in the middle of town. Communication with the owner was great!! She was so sweet and let us check in earlier than check in time. Also the price was great as well. Will definitely try and stay here again.
