The house was clean, very well equipped, and a convenient place to stay. We loved fishing at the pier. The beach isn't too far across the way and easy to get to.

Beautiful house...

Very well maintained, great view of the bay and right across the street from the Gulf side. Right next to Rollover Pass for birders and an easy drive to High Island. The property manager was fantastic and easily accessible. I really appreciate her, not that we needed her for anything major. The grounds are really lovely with a big yard and a very nice deck out into the bay that herons like to perch on. Really a fantastic experience.

Great place to RELAX and reset.

The views are amazing. Saw a gator by the dock on the Bay side . Picked up some great shells while strolling the beach. Very quiet. There is a little bar with great food within walking distance called Jayla's and they have a full bar with some very interesting drinks to choose from. Karoke and live music also a plus at Jayla's.We watched daily red sunsets from the balcony of our beach house. And plan to watch many more. I highly recommend this property to anyone wanting to recharge and relax!
