Liked: Cleanliness
I highly recommend staying here for comfort and location. The host was so easy to communicate with, and check-in went smoothly. We loved having the convenience of bringing our fur baby with us, and the backyard was completely fenced, so we didn't have to worry. Pleasure Pier and restaurants were all within walking distance, which made it an ideal place to stay.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Easy check-in, great location, host was responsive & prompt. The beds were comfortable. The house was not clean. Urine in the toilet upon arrival, hairs in bathrooms, our feet were black if we walked barefoot on the floors. The dishwasher was full upon arrival. They need to update the furniture in the living room as the chairs and couch had an odor and were visibly dirty. Disappointed in the cleanliness.

Great Location for family!

Beyond the Blue was a great place for our family to spend Christmas! There was plenty of space for the six of us and our puppy. We had a short walk to the Seawall and a quick drive to the Strand. The homeowner even had a Christmas tree up when we arrived! The owner was easy to work with and was fast to respond to questions. We can’t wait to come back!

Lone Star Rally

A few friends and I were lucky enough to stay at this beautiful house. The size and location were perfect for what we needed on our 3-day weekend to attend the Lone Star Rally. The house was very clean and much better in person than what I saw on the original listing (which says a lot). Thank you for the opportunity and I hope to stay again next year.
