Really comfortable

We were so surprised to arrive to some breakfast items available for us! Which was much appreciated being that we didn’t have time to stop at the store before we landed! The house was clean and spacious enough for our little family of four. Lots of kitchen items available if you need them. Beds were super comfy. Great communication. Thanks again!

5 nights

As the main destination of our trip we stayed here 5 nights. Cute little setup. We chose it as it’s close to beaches we’ve been to before. Super easy to find. Nice quiet neighborhood. Only thing you have to watch for is neighboring cats going on top your vehicle. Apparently they don’t keep their pets in their own yards in that area. The house itself worked perfectly for what we needed. The host responded promptly to my questions and was helpful as well.

Thanks, and I’m glad you had a nice stay! Yes, we have neighboring cats around; the good thing about them is we never see any rats or mice around or any other detrimental critters. 😂

Wonderful

We so enjoyed this sweet abode! It reminded me of the very first home I owned as a single RN in the 1970s! If I could move this home to College Station, I would have it for if/when I become single again! But! It worked Great for my husband and I to be in Corpus for a sentimental journey "Back to our first year of marriage"! Our eldest daughter was born at Spohn Hospital in 1979 and we had such a WONDERFUL time in Corpus. God has richly blessed us. This sweet home has been a blessing to us, also! Linda Elsesser

The location of the house is nicely situated in a nice and quite neighborhood just a couple of blocks from the ocean. Sugarbakers, a local restaurant and bakery, just down the street nestled among the neighborhood has great food and desserts and great service. If I was staying in Corpus Christi again, I would stay here.

About the host

Hosted by Nancy Porras

Host profile image
I am a registered nurse with extensive experience in critical care. I am also a scuba diving instructor, a triathlete, a baker, cook, a conservationist and a world traveler. I enjoy classical music particularly classic operas and works of Beethoven, Bach and Mozart. I also love meeting different people of different backgrounds and love to learn and experience different cultures. I enjoy life to the fullest and maintain a healthy lifestyle through proper nutrition and regular exercise. I love gardening and homemaking and I try to reflect my love of life in my own little home. I always strive to get my home to reflect that joy in life and my guests to experience the beauty of life in simple, minimalistic yet fulfilling and sublime means.

Why they chose this property

My home has a lot of character inside and out. The mid-century interior has been wonderfully preserved along with hardwood floors and endearing lines. It is minimally decorated with some of my athletic and traveling memorabilia. The garden is self-sustained with local flowers and plants that are fertilized only with composted materials. The backyard is huge and has a beautiful old oak tree that provide a very peaceful and tranquil natural canopy, providing a haven for birds and a wonderful respite area in the summer heat. The flowers attract a multitude of butterflies and bees. It is an awesome ecosystem on its own.

What makes this property unique

The home is wonderful for families, for people who want to work in a home away from home; for those who love the Coast and it’s beaches, seafood, Tex-Mex food, water sports, and for people who just want to have a place to relax in a very safe neighborhood.
