Beginning on the ground floor, where the open-plan living room and kitchen welcome you with an abundance of natural light. A velvety sectional sofa takes center stage in the living space, facing a large flatscreen television for your entertainment. The galley kitchen exudes a stylish vibe with its retro refrigerator and open shelving.

The ground floor also includes two cozy bedrooms. The first bedroom serves as a bunk room, featuring both a queen-size bed and a full-over-full-size bunk bed, ideal for families or groups of friends. The second bedroom offers two queen-size beds for a comfortable night's rest. Additionally, the ground floor houses a fully equipped bathroom and a practical laundry room, ensuring convenience and functionality.

As you head upstairs to the main level, you’ll find another open living and kitchen space. The historic charm of this classic home is highlighted by the soft dove gray walls, crisp white trim, dark hardwood floors, and painted beadboard ceilings. The U-shaped sectional sofa faces a large flatscreen television, providing a cozy spot for everyone to gather in the evenings. The kitchen features chic dark gray cabinets topped with luxurious hexagon tile countertops, creating a modern and inviting atmosphere.

Down the hall, you'll find two light-filled bedrooms, each with king-size beds. A full bathroom is conveniently located in the hallway. Step out onto the grand balcony, the perfect place to soak up the sun or relax with an afternoon cocktail.

Continuing up another set of stairs, you'll reach the cheerful children's room on the third floor. Complete with a double bed, a twin-size bed, and a full bathroom, this converted attic space has been thoughtfully designed with the little ones in mind. Please note that due to the attic's original purpose, the ceiling height is lower.

With tons of flexible living and sleeping space, even large groups will feel at ease at The Weekender. Let this grand retreat become your new home base on the Texas Gulf Coast.

Wonderful Weekender
Great location, wonderful home, plenty of space for everyone. Nice backyard. Not too far, not to close to the beach if you have young children with you. Restaurants, stores, beach and beach rental equipment within a short drive. Definitely recommend "The Weekender".

We had a nice stay
This property was just as advertised. Lots of beds and 2 kitchens. There were a few things I ddin't notice when booking...there is no table. If you want to eat as a group or play games, you are out of luck. There are barstools and plenty of counter space. Upstairs bathroom is great for kids, but super small and has no mirror. We had trouble with locking one of the doors, but the owner was very communicative and helped us troubleshoot. Overall it was a nice stay. We were a little disappionted that there was zero flexibility with late check out, but it was just as advertised.
