Immaculate and perfect for groups
Beautiful property. Looks brand new inside. Perfect furniture arrangement for or group of 6 of different ages. Will work great for a large group. The way the furniture is placed works well. It was nice having the hot tub in the backyard and we loved that it was pet friendly.

Air conditioning upstairs has to run nonstop to break 76* at night and hovers at 85* during the day. Neither of the gates on the “secure fenced in yard” had functional locks. Thankfully, we had tools with us and repaired the lock on the gate closest to Ocean Drive, ourselves. The fully stocked kitchen ready for your culinary adventures…I’ve rented travel trailers with better equipped kitchens. 1 measuring cup, no measuring spoons, no serving utensils, no platters, no mixing bowls, no baking sheets. A basic set of dishes and silverware for 10 and a basic set of pots and pans that had to be delivered after we called to report there weren’t any. After someone came by to check, of course, because maybe we didn’t really look. The propane grill needs to be held with one hand while you brush the grates, to keep it from falling over. Hot tub was not clean. Water leaked through the living room light closest to the windows when it rained, waking up the people sleeping on the sofa because it was so hot upstairs. Just one subpar moment after another. Downstairs bedroom and bathroom are nice but everyone upstairs was uncomfortable and hot. We have been going to Corpus every 3-4 months to visit elderly family for years. This house was, by far, the most expensive and the greatest disappointment.
