We were in town for a wedding and this was a great location. It is on a main road, but we never had issues getting out of the house. Close to a ton of restaurants.

Quick Summer Family Getaway

The house was clean and comfortable, great for a little family trip. The kitchen was well stocked and they provided coffee which was nice. The host Ruth was helpful with any questions. We enjoyed our stay for a few days while the family had fun at the beach.

Great Stay

Really nice accommodation for the seven of us. We stayed prior to our cruise and it was an awesome place. The only thing I would recommend is larger soft blankets, although being in Texas you don’t usually need blankets!

Sisters Cruise

We needed a place to sleep the night before our cruise set sail. The two bathrooms were a great bonus! The one to the back of the place was huge and since we were all family, more than one could be drying hair or putting on makeup at a time. Communicating with Ruth was very easy and she was timely. Would definately recommend!

Perfect house and location!

We stayed here (myself, my husband, our 9, 8 and almost 2 year old) for a weekend. It was a great location for the beach, restaurants, the pleasure pier, and Moody Gardens. The house was so lovely, had wonderful amenities and was exactly as described. The communication with our host, Ruth, was wonderful as well. We would definitely stay here again!
