Cornhole, washer boards and horseshoes offer fun for everyone while at the house. Also 2 blocks to an amazing pizza place, large convenient store and liquor store makes for a great location.

Great stay!
The house was well kept and clean, there were a variety of appliances in the kitchen available to use, all in working order and well maintained. Sean was quick to respond to questions and gave clear answers. Overall we had a great time!

Top 3 vacation
We had such a wonderful time and having the beach house was great! It was a short walk to a private beach! 🏝️ Our host was very friendly and accommodating. He even allowed us to add an extra day at the last minute as the house wasn’t booked that day. We had 7 of our kids with us ranging from 5 to 21 years old and everyone had a GREAT time. If you’re looking for luxury this may not be your cup of tea, but if you’re looking for comfort, convenience, friendly host, and privacy then we highly recommend! Thanks Sean for a fantastic vacation in your home!

Listen to the waves…
The house was exactly as advertised. Communication was spectacular! We had an issue with the tv, and they immediately set us with someone to fix it. The house is close enough to the beach to listen to the waves and we loved it!

Great Family Trip
My family and furry friends enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back. Host was very responsive. We had everything we needed to cook and clean, sleep, shower. There is also a doggie door. Close to moody gardens, the pier and the local movie theater.

The OLD surf SHACK in need of repair!
This property is very old and in need of repair. The floors throughout the house are not level causing the beds to lean. There were no ceiling fans however the AC did work fine. There were several areas with mold and mildew and there was a 1 inch gap under the front door that allowed heat and flys to enter. The kitchen was not well equipped and there was not a disposal. I would not recommend families staying there as it was more of a guys fishing camp sort of house. The host was very responsive when contacted for additional towels and sheets.

Short getaway
The property location is great. Short walk to the beach. A canopy is provided to take to the beach which is needed for the hot Texas sun. The rooms were spacious and so were the bathrooms. The place needs a few little updates and a few things repaired but overall it was perfect for us. We had our dogs so the fencing around the yard was great. It wasn’t in the best shape but as long as your dog doesn’t jump up on it, it serves its purpose. The porch was very nice. The bed was comfortable. We only used one of the 3 room so not sure about the other beds.
