Awesome place
The property has a lot of facilities such as indoor games for kids and adults. Air hockey, foos ball and skee ball located in garage are very nice options for everyone. Private kitchen has a lot of amenities needed for cooking. We were 12 people who stayed for 2 days and enjoyed a lot. Corpus Christi is around 30 minutes drive to explore other things.

Perfect Getaway!
We unfortunately spent most of our time in doors due to the rain, but we were able to stay inside a beautiful home! There are hundreds of mosquitoes, but we understood it was more so from the rain, but be sure to bring your bug spray! The yard was beyond imagination. The dogs had so much free room to run around! Everyone slept comfortably! The house is tucked away a beautiful neighborhood but it’s easy to get to and from the main roads. The distance itself to the ferry yard was no more than 10 minutes. This has been by far our favorite booking. Thank you!

Vacation
The property was clean and welcoming, the backyard was completely fenced, my dog loved the space! Mosquitos were a nuisance, we hung some spartan repellents and they seemed to help.
We would definitely stay again!

All the beds
We needed a place with enough beds for all the kids, and a hotel makes us reserve multiple rooms. The beds were super comfortable, the linens soft and towels plush. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, cookware and eatery. We played some games and noticed the tv was set up for us to use our streaming services. Mosquitos were rampant so we weren’t able to use the yard, which was disappointing because we love a good game of cornhole which was available to play. The drive to Port Aransas was a quick ferry ride over the channel, making this a perfect base to stay in.
