Great spot to stay on the island

Communication was prompt and very helpful. The house was just what we were looking for. Plenty of indoor and outdoor space, great location for bouncing around the island for different activities we had planned. Would definitely stay here again when we are back in the area!

As described and accessible!

The condo was exactly as described in the listing and pictures. I wanted to stay somewhere handicap/wheelchair accessible and this condo was great: No stairs entryway, two close reserved parking spots, a walk-in shower (with small lip only), and a spacious living room. The location is also great. It is only a very short drive to the beach which is perfect for the price.

Spring Break trip for Tucker Family

We LOVED this property and the owners! Easy check in, great communication, we had everything we needed, extra paper towels and washing detergent was a big plus! The location is near everything you may need and just a quick drive to white cap beach! Plenty of room for our kiddos. The pool was really nice and well kept! It was very quiet in the evenings and we felt very safe. We will book again with Ruben and Deanna! Thank you so much!

Beautiful and charming

The hosts thought of all of the things we might need while vacationing, including sand toys and beach gear. There was more than enough space for my family of seven. The three tvs in the unit were great for when we ready to unwind at the end of the night and were all able to watch our favorite shows

Private getaway

This home offers complete privacy as the home does not actually connect with any other units. The locking option on the gate is an added safety plus. The homeowner was prompt to address any concerns we had during our stay. We recommend this property a thousand times over!

comfortable, clean, convenient

This property is well appointed and convenient to EVERYTHING!! We appreciated the attention to detail, the coastal vibe, the small things that made us feel at home. Although we had no children staying with us, the cottage has added touches for families with children. We wouldn't hesitate to stay again, and hope that we can! Deanna and Ruben were easy to contact and answered the few questions that we had.

Repeat Guests

This is our second year staying at this property & again we were not disappointed. We arrived days after Hurricane Hanna & the owners went out of their way to check in on the property & surrounding area before our stay. The check in/out process was easy. The lock/key was easy to access. We loved all the small touches around the house & patio. The location on NPI is perfect for us - out of crowded Port A but still accessible to our fav restaurants & beaches on Mustang Island. Our family of 4 stayed here comfortably. We look forward to our NPI vacation every year & cant wait to return next summer!
