The perfect place

There’s so much I could say about this place. It was super clean, organized. SO BEAUTIFUL! The pictures don’t do it justice. Also loved how thoughtful they are about pups. They got blankets, bowls, leash, bags. Literally everything my pup needed, they had. Definitely booking with them again!!!!

Another day in paradise.

Our stay at this property was wonderful. The house is nicely decorated and furnished. The pool which was recently installed was a nice bonus. The location is great with only a few minutes' walk to the beach. We will definitely stay here again.

Casa Alegre is our 2nd home so we've set it up with the things we enjoy as a family and hope you will enjoy it too. We live in Austin, have 3 kids and 7 dogs! Vacationing with dogs is important to us. Having a Beach home with a fenced yard at a dog friendly beach has been a life goal and we want to share that with like minded guests. Thank you for considering our home for your Texas Beach get away!

The house was just renovated in 2022 with new bathrooms and kitchen. We added a private, heated pool in 2024 and are less than a block away from the sand.
