We had a great stay and the condo was clean and smelled clean. Spacious and comfortable. We didn’t have small children with us but looks like a great place for families with kids! Decor is perfect, not too overly beach decor. Quiet at night. We would stay there again!

Lovely family atmosphere. Perfect place to get away for a few days to celebrate my retirement. Very relaxing and great location. The beach is within walking distance...just right down the road. The cottage was very clean, cute and cozy. There are two entrance/exit doors to each cottage, one by the pool and one by the parking lot. This was very convenient when unloading luggage. I would stay here again.

Second time staying in this unit and it was just as clean and nice as the previous time. Kids loved the pool and beach. If there was anything at all that could be improved, the master mattress is a bit worn and you can slightly feel the depressions on each side. We will be back next time when visiting Corpus.

Perfect for a family trip

Our state was perfect! The beds were so comfortable. Everything was very clean. The convenience of the pool right outside the door with little ones is so nice and the beach was in walking distance. The surrounding area was very quiet but if you need anything, it’s all very close. Our only complaint was we needed grilling utensils and had to run out while grilling (we assumed there was some in the kitchen after my husband started the coals). But that was so minor and the store was 5 minutes away.

Great for families, plenty of space

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved this property! We booked here to be close to the beach and the access point is definitely walkable, even with young kids. Everything was clean and orderly with enough bath towels and essential items in the kitchen for basic cooking. We loved the splash pad/pool directly outside the door, too. No noise issues during our stay and everyone was friendly and courteous. The property management was very responsive when the microwave kept tripping the breaker. They offered to send a maintenance team to work on it while we were at the beach. Our only disappointment was that the pirate ship playground slide was detached from the structure when we arrived with a caution cone and tape to keep kids off the area. The pirate ship was not repaired during our stay. Definitely would stay at this property again.
