About this property

Gone Fishin’ | Bright Beachfront Retreat on the Gulf – Sleeps 8

Welcome to Gone Fishin’, your bright and breezy beachfront retreat in Gilchrist, Texas. This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home sleeps 8 and offers direct private beach access, stunning ocean views, and all the comforts of home.

Enjoy a spacious open-concept layout with a fully stocked kitchen, leather recliners, smart TVs in every room, and a large ocean-view deck perfect for morning coffee or grilling dinner. Bedrooms include two kings and a family-friendly room with a queen + twin-over-twin trundle. A pack and play with mattress and sheet is provided.

Spend your days relaxing by the sea, rinsing off in the hot/cold outdoor shower, or unwinding on the shaded patio below with a picnic table and loungers. Beach towels, boogie boards, and gear are ready for your use.

Smart lock access, high-speed WiFi, and a discreet outdoor security camera offer comfort and peace of mind. Whether you’re planning a family vacation or a quiet coastal escape, Gone Fishin’ is your perfect Gulf-front getaway.

We are the new owners and are excited to relaunch it with thoughtful updates and the same incredible beachfront setting. While this listing is new, the home has a strong history of welcoming happy guests—and we can’t wait to host you next!
