About this property

Spectacular 5 Bedroom 5 1/2 Bath Beachfront on 1.75 acres; Whole House Generator


5 bedrooms, 5 ½ baths (including ½ bath in garage)

MAIN FLOOR – Step into Seagrape with its stunning views of the Gulf, dunes and manicured lawn with a golf hole (think also Hyannis Port type football game). Real wood wide plank floors welcome you into the foyer and on into the spacious Great Room with high exposed beam ceilings and tall windows for unobstructed views of the Gulf – watch for the dolphins and shrimp boats! Enjoy the gourmet kitchen with quartz countertops, pebble backsplash, gas range, Bosch dishwasher, French door refrigerator, sit at bar counter and coffee bar. Round dining table seats 8 with additional seating at bar or at the colorful corner table or at 2 dining tables under cover on the beachside deck (tables seat 13). On this main level, which is accessible from 2 sided lift, find 2 king sized bedrooms: The Shiplap-walled Master suite features organic king sized mattress, luxury bed linens, Sit at wall desk with chair, Jetta whirlpool tub, double vanities, Carrera quartz countertops, lighted makeup mirror, walk in shower with long bench, Pharmacopia bath amenities, large closet; 2nd King size bedroom with luxury bed linens has adjacent full shower/tub bath, small step stool for kiddos, shampoo, conditioner and body wash and big thick and thirsty bath towels.
The 3rd bedroom on this level is the large middle bedroom, which is nautically themed with 3 extra long twin beds, adjacent full shower/tub bath, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, step stool for kiddos and big thick and thirsty bath towels.
All the bedrooms on this level can be closed off from the great room by the pocket doors – fantastic for privacy and sound muffling.

TOP FLOOR-If you liked the views on the Main level, wait ‘til you see them from here! This floor has the second King sized Master suite with luxury bed linens, a huge ensuite bath of double vanities with Carrera quartz countertops, walk in shower with bench and Pharmacopia bath amenities. This suite has a very large closet with ventilation that accommodates play pen, crib or full size blow up mattress. According to parents of children who like total darkness to sleep, this is the best room of the house (and far from other house sounds)! My 2 year old granddaughter power sleeps in this place!!
More sleeping space on this level in the bunk room with double on the bottom and twin on the top. Adjacent to this room is a full bath with shower/tub, step stool for small ones, shampoo, conditioner, body wash and large thick and thirsty bath towels
Between the 2 bedrooms on this level, a separate living area has ginormous TV, Keurig coffee bar and electric tea kettle, small fridge, futon seating/bed and leads to the top deck with its miles in every direction views and sitting area. Watch the sunrise, coffee in hand, in your bathrobe. Ahhh

BEACH DECK – Enough with the inside, let’s get to the real reason you are coming here – OUTSIDE!! Enjoy a glass of wine on this mainlevel beachside deck. Here you’ll find 2 dining tables (under covered areas), 4 super comfy adjustable chaise lounges and 4 Summer Classics spring chairs. All so comfortable. Just steps from the kitchen, be part of the action even if you need to keep an eye on the stove. From this deck, descend the beachside dramatic flared stairs, which also make for a great place for group photos.


SUNSET DECK – Accessible from the main level Master suite or from the full walk around deck, take your beverage of choice here to watch daylight fade and the incredible Texas Gulf Coast evening sky jump to life. Ahhh inspiring sunsets! You can even see the barges on the Intracoastal from here.

GROUND LEVEL – The Covered carport (parking for up to 4 cars, plenty of room uncovered for the rest) leads to the garage via its side door or beachside garage door. Here you will find all the beach amenities – chairs, tent, sand toys, boogie boards, ice chests – and the piece de resistance – THE MANITOWOC COMMERCIAL ICE MACHINE (makes as much as 120 pounds per day depending on outside temperature). Guests say this is the real game changer!! This machine makes small, clear cubes – great for ice chests and wonderful for drink ice. The Club Car 6 seater golf cart resides here, alongside the kids’ John Deere drivable car (both available for rent) and the 2nd refrigerator/freezer. At the beach? Gotta go??? Half bath with toilet and sink is in this garage (truly also a game changer!)
Want to BBQ? You have choices – make a fire in the copper firepit that has grates for cooking (removable for just a fire) or roll out the Chargriller smoker/grill combo.
THE BEACH - From here, take a meander by foot past the golf hole and flagpole down the groomed path to the beach. As you go, glance at the prickly pear cactus, ice plant, cat tails and seagrape. These along with sea oats and other Texas native dune plants, help the dunes to maintain and grow and help prevent beach erosion.

Christmas at the beach
Lovely property. Mosquitoes were vicious. Upon arriving at the property our cars were covered immediately in mosquitoes. We turned right around without getting out and went and got some bug spray for us and the yard. The first couple of days was pretty hard getting to the beach without getting eaten up. We love the property would definitely come back.

Beautiful and quiet location, desperately needs a deep cleaning
Pros: Beautiful and quiet location. Spacious rooms and bathrooms, fireplace beautiful and amazingly warm. Plenty of bathroom linen. Property manager quick to respond to concerns/issues. Cons: There was an awful foot/mildew smell in the whole house and a thick layer of dust on all of the shelving (primary bedroom downstairs and living room especially). When we arrived we had to scrub the kitchen counters and dinning room table - there was a thin layer of grime. We had to push the dining room table away from the kitchen counter to make more room to walk through- only to find a bunch of dust/dirt and live silverfish underneath. The property manager was quick to respond to our concerns and offered to have their cleaning service return the next day, but because it was Thanksgiving eve and we had already done our own cleaning on arrival we passed- to avoid the hassle/stress of packing and moving our belongings- with more family expected to visit/join us for the holiday. There are cameras INSIDE of the home (we didn't notice any outside of the property)- which we thought unusual for a rental. The rugs throughout the home are very worn and dirty. As mentioned in another review this home has so much potential, but definitely needs some TLC and a deep cleaning!

Family vacation
The overall stay was pretty good and the communication with the property manager was also good. The access to the beach was really easy and the cabin was stocked with everything that we would need during our stay. I would definitely recommend to a friend or stay at this place again for another trip.

Lovely BUT - Needs a little TLC (Honest Review)
Lovely home BUT defintely needs a some TLC. When we arrived we found trash in the fire pit which consisted of empty beer boxes and some bottles. A few cigarette butts on the grounds in the grass. Missing light fixtures on the back deck (not bulbs - entire fixtures pictured in photos gone) with wires exposed. Back deck rather dark at night. Stained bedspreads in 2 of the rooms downstairs. We removed linens on beds and washed them and there were long hairs under the covers. Several light bulbs out in lamps and in the bathroom light fixtures. We replaced on our own but prop manager did offer to send someone. We mopped living room ourselves on arrival because of dust. BEWARE there were 2 cameras INSIDE the home 1 in the living room and 1 in the upstairs open area. We unplugged and turned both around to be sure they were not on. Will report to VRBO. A knob on the master bath spa tub was missing with just a pipe exposed. Did not use. Inside kitchen draws dirty and some of the utensils need to be replaced. Have photos. Trash can lid broken off can in the kitchen (or it was removed and not replaced). This could be a 5-star gem with just some attention to detail and TLC. I want to leave an HONEST review so others who care about such things can be accurately informed. If you don't care about these little things you will be pleasantly pleased with the property, room layout, view and location and the to die for sunrises and sunsets.
