When we rented this property we thought we were renting a house. The photos make it appear like that. It is a two story condo that is a part of an apartment complex. The home itself is nice for a family with kids but you have to go down an elevator or 3 flights of stairs to go outside.
The first day there was frustrating because it lacked basic essentials like enough towels, dish soap, dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent, trash bags, etc. They give you one pack of dishwasher detergent and very flimsy trash bags with super basic bathroom essentials. This would not have been an issue if we were made aware of it. We rented the place for 4 nights, 5 days which meant we needed to go buy shampoo and soap and other essentials. There was no mention of this in the listing. If we would have been made aware we would have brought these items with us and saved us a bunch of time. We spent the first morning shopping and setting up the house. Not how I wanted to spend vacation time. Lastly the dishwasher broke 2 separate times and they needed to send the maintenance man which is challenging with a family of 10.
The property/community is nice, the lawn is fun for the kids and the gulf carts make going to the beach a breeze. The beach itself is pretty gross. Lots of trash and micro plastic everywhere. We had to walk through a line of garage to enter the water. One of the days a very old shoe washed ashore that had barnacles growing from it. I guess there is not a beach clean up crew in Texas. Overall the kids really enjoyed it (ages 4-7) and the pizza restaurant was delicious. It was a nice memory for the kids but not a destination my husband and I would go to for a romantic getaway.
