Cozy cabin

We loved our stay at this cabin. Home is small, adorable & decorated so cute. It is walking distance to the beach and you have an amazing view of the water. No beach access, but one street over and you can drive onto the beach. It had everything we needed. We had one minor issue which the host took care of immediately. We would definitely stay here again in the future!!

Sweet and Shaky

Overall the apartment (up on 12 foot beams, like every place on the island) fully met our needs. It was a fun beach place to stay on the Bolivar Peninsula, close to High Island and other great birding spots. Only issue was the shaking of the structure caused by the 25 knot winds that blew for our entire 3 night stay. Probably would be fixable by cross-bracing.

2nd time here and we love this place

This is the 2nd year my family has stayed at the house. It is the prefect size for my family of 4. Great views and easy access to the beach. However, I would say the outdoor sitting area is missing furniture on the lower level and also the dryer does not work. Overall, however the stay was good!

Perfect location, nice clean house

Super close to the beach, host communicated all necessary and helpful info, house was clean and in good order. Beaches were not crowded and area was nice. We all had an absolutely great time and would definitely return. Our only issues had nothing to do with the property, but for those who don't know this Texas area, we were definitely caught off guard by the local mosquitos! If you're prone to bites, I recommend lots of bug spray for the Bolivar Peninsula!

Even Better in Person!

Lovely space with all you need and then some, including four bunks. You can see and hear the ocean and walk to it within five minutes. And within just a 10 minute drive (west) you'll reach nicer (but busier) beaches. When you buy the beach access pass (for your car to be parked on the beach), it will last a year and as of 3/24 costs $10. Happy Travels!

Not happy

The house was nice . My issues were with some of the inside of it. All the sheets were wet. The towels were wet the dryer wasn't hook up. I took care of all of this. The owner was rude. I call to let her know if some of the issue. She was really rude about it. Couldn't get in the house because I didn't get code to 5pm.fan in spare bedroom rattled. So I say don't rent the house....

Cozy Little Beach House

Nice little house, slept all 5 of us fairly comfortable, having one restroom was a little inconvenient, but at times you would just have to cross your legs and wait your time!! lol Absolutely loved the middle floor lounge area, nice, comfortable, in the shade with a nice sea breeze and beautiful view of the ocean. For a little gathering of 5 guest I give it a "Thumbs Up"

Super clean super nice little cabin. 5 minutes from Stingaree at the quiet end of the beach. Perfect for my family gathering. Nice view of the water from the deck and reasonably easy beach access. I would not hesitate to stay here again or recommend this property. If you are looking for a peaceful getaway this fits the bill.

Amazing beach house

My husband and I came for a short weekend getaway and this house was perfect! It is really nice inside and the views are amazing. It's a short walk to the beach as well. The house had everything we needed and the bed was super comfortable. Will definitely stay here (if available) next time we come down to this area! Check in was a breeze and she was very prompt to respond with any questions we had.
