We had a really great stay. The hosts were very friendly, kind, and easy to communicate with. They sent clear instructions ahead of time which made everything smooth and stress-free. The place itself was very clean and comfortable, and their dogs were incredibly sweet which made the visit even more special. Overall it was a welcoming and positive experience, and we truly appreciated their hospitality.

We were there on a little birding vacation. This property gave us good access to many local sites and was conveniently located to Ocean Dr and what it has to offer.

Great Getaway For Couples

This was our first visit to Corpus Christi and we could not have found a better place to stay! This little guest house is perfect for couples. It was very centrally located for everything we needed. This place was comfortable and the neighborhood was quiet. Could not give this place higher praise, we would love to stay here in the future.

outdoor sanctuary

Very nice. Friendly host. Enjoyed our stay. perfect except no water pressure in shower. The outside sitting area was our main attraction for the rental and totally enjoyed it.
Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025
Response from VrboOwner on 25 April 2025
Thank you for the review and the comment on the water pressure. We were able to get the line flushed due to being an older neighborhood with the sediment and a new shower head to maximize as best as we can. Appreciate you letting us know so we could address the concern.
