Great stay
As soon as we walked in we felt at home. It was just right for us and our fur babies. Nice big fenced yard and we could let them out without any worries, just watch out for a few stickers. The location was perfect for all the things we wanted to do. The pool was perfect and nice on the days we didn’t want to go to the beach. We will definitely book again.

Good place to stay for fishing
I'd say overall it was a great stay. Location, check in procedures, etc. However, there was an ant problem and our dogs would constantly get stickers from the yard.

Relaxing
We had a great time, the pool was a real plus for us. The property manager contacted me back quickly when we had a small issue. I gave this a 4 because the listing said there was a firepit, but it was not available, and the yard was full of sticker burs that got caught in our dogs paws everytime she went out in the yard. The property is 20 min from the aquarium and Lexington museum, and about 10 min from Whitecap Beach where we spent lots of time. HEB and Walmart are close if needed. We had a great week!
