The fully stocked kitchen and ample seating, including bar stools and a dining table, cater to all your culinary needs.

The first bedroom off the living area is a cozy retreat with a king-size bed. Perfect for families, the second bedroom boasts two queen-size beds, while the master bedroom indulges in a luxurious king-size bed. Whichever room you end up in, you’re sure to find comfort and wake each morning ready for the day.

Up a spiral staircase lies the ultimate fun zone - a game room with two full-over-full bunk beds, perfect for epic slumber parties! Challenge your crew to ping-pong and foosball battles, or get lost in the thrills of classic arcade games. Right alongside the action is a cozy corner with a queen bed for tired champions. Down the hall, you'll find another comfy retreat with two more queen-size beds. And after a day of beach adventures, everyone can freshen up in the convenient full bathroom on this floor.

As the day fades to twilight, step outside and embrace the cool sea breeze. Unwind by the firepit, glass of wine in hand, as the Texas sunset paints the sky in warm hues. Let laughter and stories fill the air, knowing these are memories you’ll treasure for years to come.

Loved this property!
Me and my family loved staying at this house! It was plenty of space and had a ton of rooms. Our favorite part about the home was the game room upstairs. We had ping pong tournaments every night lol! Definitely will be staying here again in the future. Russell was also very easy to communicate with throughout our stay.

Beautiful home in need of TLC
This home was the perfect size for our large family gathering. It was unfortunate that from the get go Beach Box repeatedly harassed me about the size of our group and then changed the listing, reducing the number of allowable people. The home was dirty upon arrival - with heavy dust on kitchen cabinets from air vents, to bandaids on the walls from previous visitors (hanging things), to dirt and grime in bathroom floors and door frames. Several individuals in our party found hair and dirt on the sheets. The water pressure in all bathroom sinks was extremely low and the upstairs sink was clogged. When BB was contacted about the pack but r washcloths a d notified about the clogged sink their response was to send someone to the store to buy a package it the cheapest washcloths available, which were dropped off unwashed. The upstairs a/c did not cool - it never got below 73, making for a stuffy night for everyone sleeping upstairs. There was also a broken bed downstairs, propped up be boards. For the price we paid, there is no excuse that these repairs are not completed. The most disturbing and DANGEROUS thing in the home was the rickety dining room chairs. As I was scooting my chair forward, my chair not only pinched my finger but tore a chunk out, causing a serious injury that was only managed because of a nurse in our party. My son-in-law tightened every single chair to ensure no other injuries occurred. We have photos to back up each and every issue noted.

Nice but extremely dirty
House was very dirty, we found a lot of hair and dog hair all over the place. Some sheets were not changed and some others were piled next to the washer. Towels in washer and dryer. Bathroom sinks were not cleaned. Floor was sticky. We contacted owner as soon as we got there. He responded fast and sent housekeeping to clean house. The upstairs sliding door that led to the balcony would not open and one king bed (not master bed) was broken. House is ok but it needs some attention and a good cleaning.
