Our Favorite Home on the Peninsula
This home was so charming! It was the perfect set-up for a 3 night multi-family stay including 3 couples, 4 teen girls, and their weird uncle. =) The home has many different sitting areas for groups to gather, the downstairs open kitchen was perfect for cooking breakfast and keeping drinks cold and easily accessible. We never had issues with mosquitos, as we have in other homes on the peninsula. I'm assuming this is because of the fantastic proximity to the beach and the nice breeze the location provides. The location truly couldn't be better, with a quick walk to the beach access and a short drive to the Big Store for any last minute necessities. The decor was warm and cozy, yet still totally "beach house" appropriate for the renovated historic home. We had a small issue with WiFi that resolved quickly by messaging the owner via VRBO. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would absolutely book this home again for our annual trip to this fun TX Beach.

Best beach house, Crystal Clear
What a wonderful home Second Time Around is. We had an incredible experience at this property. It was everything that was listed and shown on the VRBO site and more. Very comfortable, no one wanted for anything at this home. Very well appointed and everything worked, no issues with anything. We loved all the outdoor areas and spent all of our time outside while there. The kids loved having their own space in the loft. Plenty of room for everyone. The walk to the beach was very short and not a problem at all. We were happy we were one row back as it was very peaceful. They were spot on with the downstairs bar and kitchen, our favorite place to hang out. Carton was easy to communicate with and responded very quickly when contacted. Don’t have a negative thing to say about this property and would highly recommend it for a perfect place to relax and enjoy the beach.
