The house is absolutely perfect, great design and decor inside, big tv for watching my astros in the living and master bedroom, my daughter loved the big bunk beds, the fenced in downstairs was perfect for my dog, location is great as well, just a few minutes walk from the beach, the host was great. She answered any question I had and helped in every way possible. This was our first time using vrbo and renting at the beach. We have stayed with other family before at other cabins but this experience was so much better, the bar has now been set so high we will probably only stay here from now on. We just dont know how it could get any better. Cant give this beach house rental enough praise. You will not be disappointed. I wish i took pictures from inside the house, it is exactly as shown in the listing, listen yall will not be disappointed with this place.
