Close to shopping and restaurants. The house has everything you need for an extended stay. It has several areas to relax. Our dogs loved the fenced yard, and the gated front porch! Quiet neighborhood. A park a few blocks from the house, has a nice overlook of the bay and access to the water. We were able to enjoy beach days on the gulf. Port Aransas, Whitecap Beach, Mustang Island, and the Padre Island National Seashore are all within 30-40 miles from the house. Corpus Christi is just a short drive, with lots to do there. If we plan another stay in this area, we wouldn’t hesitate to rent this home again. ##### Jim F.
