Our Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very beautiful and cozy. Loved our stay here. Only thing that I didn't care for is that you had to enter code every time you came through the door. So unloading our things into the house was irritating. If the key pad would of just had a button to keep the door unlocked would of be great.

Impeccable property

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We come to this area frequently and this is the best property we’ve stayed at so far, but our preferences are different. We come to relax at the beach with our children so we don’t care too much about pools and wifi. If these things are important to you, then this place might not be to your liking because the pool is small, gets way too full, and people are allowed to play obscene music in front of children. The WiFi stopped working on our second day there. These were good things for us since they forced us to focus on having fun at the beach and avoid the temptation to work while watching the kids at the pool.

Love it! 😍

This place is a new discovery for us but we are not new to Corpus Christi, having short vacations for 10 years now. I believe we are the first to stay in this unit because everything was new from furnitures, appliances, kitchenwares and some even have tags in them 🙂. We we're impressed of how nice it was that me and my son took videos and pics before and upon entering the unit 😊. It was the best long weekend break as we we're all comfortable and had a good quiet night sleep since this unit was not beside the pool and playground. I wish there was a full length mirror in the unit. We would stay here again and again.
