Birding at High Island Girls Trip

One of my friends and I stayed at this Bay Front location because of it's proximity to High Island and the Houston Audubon Society locations there. We drove daily to the Boy Scout Woods Sanctuary and the Smith Oaks Sanctuary in High Island and it was so convenient. The view was beautiful!I loved the floor plan of this tiny house. My friend took the bedroom next to the full bath and I took the bedroom with the half bath on the other side. We shared the shower in the full bath but for dressing and makeup, we each had our own sink and mirror. Speaking of the shower, I have to mention the water pressure. It was outstanding! I wish I had such good pressure at home. It made washing my long hair much easier. This living room and kitchen combo located in the middle of the two bedrooms felt roomy with just two people. You could easily fit two couples in this unit but it felt really roomy with only two of us. There was a separate A/C unit in each area with a total of 3 units. The bedrooms had sliding doors and we could set the temperatures to our personal choice within our own bedroom. The kitchen had a Microwave/Convection/AirFry combination unit. We used the Convection Bake option to warm up our left over pizza. There is a two-burner stovetop buy we didn't need it. The kitchen was well stocked for dishes and utensils.Overall, I highly recommend this place but I probably shouldn't because I hope it is available the next time I want to come down: )

Great Stay on Bay

We had a nice 2 night stay at this bay front VRBO rental. Perfect size for the 2 of us though there are 2 bedrooms. Bed was comfortable, it is new and very clean, had what we needed and we had a small dock with a picnic table which we would have used but it was too windy. It was very quiet and peaceful. Perfect spot to stay if you plan to go birding at High Island and Bolivar Flats.

Excellent location for empty beaches

This tiny home worked well for the five of us, having two separate bedrooms and two bathrooms. The location is ideal: a little pier where you can watch ships go by on the bay side, and the waves of the gulf a short walk across the highway. Nice, new place.
