Deluxe Studio Duplex Across from Tres Palacios Bay – Screened Patio, Bay Views, Boat-Friendly

Escape to the Texas coast and enjoy a peaceful stay at our Deluxe Studio Duplex, Apartment A—a cozy, well-appointed retreat just steps from Tres Palacios Bay in charming Palacios, TX.

This soundproofed studio is designed for relaxation and flexibility, featuring a private screened-in patio with gorgeous bay views—the perfect spot for morning coffee or evening breezes. Inside, you’ll find a queen bed and your choice of a full-size futon with a comfortable innerspring mattress or a sofa, ideal for couples or small families.

The kitchen includes a full-size refrigerator, microwave, toaster oven, Nuwave burner, and electric skillet—everything you need to prepare simple meals. You’ll also have access to two grills on the shared patio: a gas grill and a classic Old Smokey charcoal grill.

Unwind in the spacious walk-in shower, complete with a built-in bench, rain shower head, body jets, and a handheld wand for a spa-like experience.

Parking is easy and boat-friendly—ample space is available behind the property near the white garage and barn. Let us know if you're bringing a boat so we can provide detailed instructions.

Located directly across from the bay, the property offers quick access to fishing piers, a public boat ramp, and a scenic 1.5-mile seawall for walks, runs, or birdwatching. Families will love the nearby nautical-themed playgrounds, and the town’s historic waterfront and Luther Hotel add charm to every visit.

Whether you’re here to fish, boat, relax, or explore, our studio duplex offers a comfortable and memorable stay on the beautiful Texas Gulf Coast.

Nice get away!

My husband & I spent two days on this property! The location was convenient to great fishing spots. The shoreline was literally right across the street, a short walking distance away. The owner was nice & helpful. We will definitely make a return trip!

Costal Cottage Bay House

The Costal Cottage Bay House was a perfect spot for a needed get away, the location is definitely what makes this property. Seeing the sunrise in the bay every morning is worth every moment. The Point store is a 3 minute walk and the bay is also walking distance. The owner are definitely great host, I would definitely recommend if you planning to visit Palacios, Tx to try out the Costal Cottage Bay House.

Beautiful Coastline

What a lovely job the owner did on this little studio space. It truly does have everything you need. We enjoyed the outdoor seating provided and the cheerful indoor space. All small towns are struggling to get back on their feet right now, but Palacios offers much beauty along the well-maintained coastal path featuring fun playgrounds, picnic areas and water access. We felt sincerely welcomed by the owner of the cottage, local restaurateurs and shopkeepers.

Located in a quiet, scenic area. Excellent value. Just a few steps away from the waterfront of Tres Palacios Bay. Cottage is small but very comfortable. There is no conventional stove or oven; instead there are hot plates and a toaster oven -- but we were able to do all the cooking we wanted.

About the host

Hosted by Marianne Cook

Host profile image
My husband and I have lived in and loved Palacios, Tx. for many years. We love the hometown feeling and living on the bay. We love our views of the bay and wanted to share it with vacation renters in the area. We have designed our apartments with the coastal flare that we love.

Three years ago renovated a house that was hit by a hurricane and needed a lot of work to make it a special Coastal get away for you. We love the coast and have decorated with coastal and beach colors. Now we have expanded and soon will have 3 vacations rentals at a great location with awesome views of the Tres Palacios Bay that leads into the Gulf of Mexico.

We purchased a 4300 sq foot 1920s barn with an apartment in the back. We just renovated the barndominium in Dec 2021.
