Never Again
When we found the location, we thought there must be a mistake! The yard had not been attended to for the entire summer - weeds everywhere were 2' high. The front door was unlocked and there were women's clothes in the dresser in one of the bedrooms. The wifi didn't work - given incorrect code. Total nightmare. Worst place we ever stayed. Property manager was unhelpful in answering questions before we arrived. Never use a Verbo with a property mgr ever again either!

Family Vacation
We really enjoyed Sandy Shores. The home met the needs of our family wonderfully. Kudos to the interior decorator. The home was so cozy love the beachy vibe! Our host was great, she answered all of our questions. Never had to wait on a return call she picked up right away. Having the second bathroom in the detached third bedroom came in handy. The only downer for us was the yard hadn’t been mowed. The grass was a bit high. The smoke detector needs a new battery. Overall, it was a great experience, would definitely recommend this property, we would stay here again.

Recommend but read comments
Pros: cute, clean, spacious, easy access to Ocean Drive, close to grocery store, washer/dryer, large driveway for parking. Cons: wiFii not working, no linens available for futon or air mattress, no hand soap in restroom, road noise (recommend earplugs and/or sound machine). I emailed questions to the contact host prior to arrival and they never responded. Bring insect repellent due to mosquitoes in the back patio.

Great Place Near the Beach
This property is a great location. While you aren't on the beach it is very close. Most of the attractions in town are close. The property itself is very neat and clean. The main house is an older house and has the charm of wood floors and tall ceilings. The kitchen is large enough to cook in comfortably and well stocked with kitchen utensils. A large table in the dining room sits 6 but there are extra chairs that can be moved to seat more. I appreciated ceiling fans in the rooms. The bathroom has been updated and was nice. The outside building is a nice little extra space. It has it's own bathroom and shower. There is a twin bed and a futon. There is a window AC in this space. The patio is nice. There is a fan and lights so you can sit out at any time of the day. Overall it was a great place to stay. It's a rental so there are some things that could be replaced but it doesn't take away from the property at all. The next time we go to Corpus I plan on staying here again.

Enjoyed our stay and would stay again. Versatile indoor and outdoor spaces. Very comfortable beds and pillows. Tidy well kept older home. Owner was very responsive to our inquiries. Bring an extra long cable if you want to charge your phone on your bedside table. We were glad that we bought a small heater/fan for white noise.

Relaxing n Quiet
The family really loved this quiet and relaxing 3 br home. Close to the beach front and public parks. The separate 3rd bedroom was a plus, where teens can play games or watch movies without the loud noise in the main house. We will definitely rent again. 😊

Lots of charm
The house is quaint with beautiful doors and doorknobs. The extra bedroom outside was great for getting away from the grandchildren. The kitchen is fully stocked. The stove and refrigerator are great. We cooked most of our meals. No hot pads. The house was clean but things that are not used often were sticky. We enjoyed our stay.

The home was stocked with essentials. And the backyard was a huge plus and the family enjoyed sitting out there eating and watching the kids play. Note that the third bedroom/game room is detached. Great stay.

Nice home in good location
Clean, comfortable home in a good location. Check in instructions were not sent to my account but property manager sent them over when we reached out. The home could use some more blankets to accommodate all of the beds/ air mattresses and one of the air matresses had a leak, but overall very comfortable and I would stay here again!

Adorable Corpus cottage close to the beach
The house was so charming to stay in. Beautiful older house that has been really nicely decorated. I found it spacious and fits your need perfectly whether you are a couple or if you have children. And with a fenced in yard it is perfect if you are traveling with your dog, like we were! And it is within walking distance of both Hesters Cafe and The Post restaurant and bar! Two of the best places to eat and drink in Corpus! Highly recommended!

Can be better
May be I'm too picky. GUEST HOUSE - Bathroom - no light & window not sealed so bugs come in. Sleeping area - window air conditioner not sealed & roaches came in. Beds were not covered with sheet so need to look for it but no queen size sheet for the futon MAIN HOUSE - Kitchen - no bigger container like mixing bowl Some pots had burned residues. Utensils dirty so need to wash before use. Dining area - only 4 chairs (it's for max. 8 people to stay) at dining table so need to gather other chairs all over the house. Others - doors not sealed luckily no bugs came in. Along the wall there are carpet nails poked out on wood floor. Large opening at bottom of outside siding & curious pet would go under the house. Overall, it's okay if you can't find other places.
