Had an absolute wonderful time. The hosts were very helpful from beginning to end. The bnb was beautiful with an even better view of tge beach. My goal was to stay away from the crowds, and was not let down. A very quiet area, and we had the beach to ourselves. A must stay, by all means!!
Excellent location! Everything was well stocked! The only thing was to get from the downstairs rooms to the one upstairs, you had to go outside and up the stairs.
We loved the access to the beach. The house was smaller than we expected but we honestly had everything we needed, and our family of 10 fit comfortably. Walmart is close enough for delivery and getting to any of the activities in town is easy! The hosts were so kind and available if needed.
The location is absolutely perfect! It is within walking distance of the private beach. The large deck that overlooks the beach was nice for hanging out as a family! The property was very clean and there was room enough for our whole family. The hosts thought of everything from sand toys for the kids to use at the beach to beach towels. We would highly recommend staying here.
The property was amazing., right next to the ocean, not too close to neighbors, and amzing views. Owners were so nice and let us check in early as i had gotten food poisoning the night before. Owners were so helpful and could not ask for a better place to have stayed for our first trip to Texas.
We came down for a week to hang out with family and enjoy the beach. The house was wonderful, with all the amenities we needed! It was close to so many fun outings and of course being right on the beach was the best part!
This home was perfect for our large family! Great location right on the water. Owners are very accommodating and the house had all of the essentials and much more. Beds were co gotta me and great AC! Such a relaxing vacation.
We lived the location, is directly on the beach as advertised. The beach is beautiful. There are three bedrooms up and two down, connected by an outside staircase. We had everything we needed. Would stay again!
Nice place. Plenty of sleeping options. Responsive host. FANTASTIC location. The beach was quiet and just steps from the house. Would absolutely return.
Wonderful stay!!! Everything you need is there: lots of beach towels and bath towels, beach chairs and toys. Kitchen is well stocked. Great communication with the hosts!
Absolutely loved our stay here, property was clean and inviting. Everything needed was available and instructions were clear. Communication with the owners was very polite and accommodating.
The property was well stocked with amenities. The view was amazing. We enjoyed the quick walk to the beach and relaxing on the patio/deck in the evenings.
We came ftom Chicago from a family wedding. This property was close to everything we needed to attend. We did enjoy the close proximity to the beach. House was verify clean and nicely decorated. Great place to relax.
