Grouper Cottage

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Just down the street from the ocean, this lovely home on the coast of Texas is a great way to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Explore the Gulf of Mexico by participating in fun rentals and excursions like parasailing, paddleboarding, snorkeling, surfing, deep-sea fishing, and every other waterfront activity imaginable. You'll have two-and-a-half secluded acres to spread out, take in the beautiful sunset, or observe native wildlife.

Upon entry, you'll be greeted with a bright interior and a warm feeling of welcome throughout the space. Enjoy the rustic yet modern stylings of this quaint cottage, filled with everything you need to have a memorable vacation. Make yourself at home by resting on the plush furniture, holding a great conversation, or watching movies on the TV in the living area. Prepare grand meals and beach picnic snacks in the kitchen, equipped with a formal dining table and all the cupboard room you'll ever need. Dine alfresco or take your brunch out to the patio where you can enjoy a beautiful view of the pond and watch the ducks and seagulls. With four beds, there's more than enough room for everyone to get a comfortable night's rest from the day's activities. Gather around the firepit to roast marshmallows and share stories until the stars come out to dot the sky.

Wondrous setting
The cottage itself is cute, clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. Everything went well with the booking, check-in, check-out, and communications. We had very happy times there. But the REAL attraction of Grouper Cottage is the million-dollar setting. Once you've turned in from the street and driven down the long driveway, you're in a world of your own. No traffic, no noise, just quiet beauty. That pond you've probably seen in the photos is bigger, prettier, and more peaceful than it looks -- and it is literally just steps outside your door. You can sit at the outdoor table and listen to the splashing of the fountain that helps keep the pond fresh. Watch the ducks. Spot turtles poking their heads above the water. Admire the vast expanses of lawn and nature. Even though there's a second, bigger rental cottage on the property, you'll feel as if you're on your own private estate. One note for older adults: The second bedroom is up a very funky set of stairs, and when you get to the top the ceilings are low enough that you'll need to duck. It's cute up there and there's a tiny private deck, too. But clearly the upstairs bedroom is best for kids or teens. Grownups should probably treat this as a one-bedroom house.

Family weekend
Everything was beautiful, host had thought of everything. We really enjoyed the games. The property is even more beautiful in person. Only thing I would suggest is an outside light by where you park. It is so dark out there lol. A perfect getaway.

Truly a home away from home
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Grouper Cottage. The atmosphere was warm, cozy and inviting. Was equipped with everything we needed. We especially loved having the washer and dryer. We loved the grounds and the pond.
