About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Private Coastal Home w/ Pool & Hot Tub • Enclosed Garden • Near Beaches

A peaceful coastal retreat just one block from Ocean Drive, this spacious three-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers privacy, comfortable gathering spaces, and an easy indoor–outdoor lifestyle in one of Corpus Christi’s established residential neighborhoods.

The heart of the property is the lush, fully enclosed back garden with a private swimming pool and waterfall hot tub. Furnished Saltillo tile patios and decks provide plenty of room for lounging, outdoor dining, morning coffee, and relaxed evenings by the pool. A Weber propane grill is available for cookouts, and guests receive convenient app-based access to the hot tub and pool lighting. Please note that the swimming pool itself is not heated.

Inside, the home has generous living spaces with room for everyone to spread out or gather together. The fully equipped kitchen includes a separate ice maker, especially handy for poolside drinks and beach coolers, along with a casual breakfast area with its own TV. A full-size washer and dryer are located just off the kitchen.

Guests can enjoy a piano, an indoor/outdoor stereo system, and TVs throughout the home—each bedroom has a TV, along with the living room and kitchen.

Upstairs Retreat
The spacious upstairs primary bedroom features a king bed, en-suite bath, and adjoining dressing area.

A separate study provides additional flexibility with a queen sofa bed, desk and computer monitor, mini refrigerator, sink, and elliptical machine. Yoga mats are also provided.

Sliding French doors open to a furnished upstairs balcony overlooking the pool and garden—a lovely spot for stretching, reading, morning coffee, or winding down at the end of the day. An exterior circular staircase connects the balcony directly with the pool area below.

Main Floor Bedrooms
Two comfortable queen bedrooms are located on the main level and share a full bath. One bedroom features French doors opening directly toward the pool and garden, making it especially inviting for guests who enjoy easy access to the outdoor spaces.

Sleeping Arrangements
The home comfortably accommodates guests with:

• Upstairs king primary bedroom
• Queen sofa bed in the adjoining upstairs study
• Two queen bedrooms on the main floor

Location
The home is just off Ocean Drive, providing a beautiful bayfront route into downtown Corpus Christi, the Marina Arts District, local restaurants and shopping, and easy access toward Padre Island and Mustang Island beaches via the JFK Causeway.

Lamar Park, The Village, downtown Corpus Christi, the bayfront, and many local favorites are all within easy reach.

About Our Caretaker
For transparency, our caretaker, Zach, lives in a completely separate studio apartment at the rear of the garage with his own private entrance and parking area.

He does not share any indoor or outdoor guest spaces and will not access the home, pool area, or enclosed garden during your stay unless you request assistance. He maintains a discreet presence and is available simply to help if anything at the property needs attention.

Zach also cares for our neighboring Bay House property. The two homes are separated by a large garden lot, which guests are welcome to enjoy for additional outdoor space.

Pets
Well-behaved dogs are welcome with prior approval. The fully enclosed backyard provides a wonderful private outdoor space for approved pets to enjoy.

Whether you’re visiting for the beaches, spending time with family, attending a special event, or simply looking for a peaceful coastal escape, this well-loved home offers a comfortable and private place to settle in and enjoy Corpus Christi.

This house was awesome! It was very clean, spacious and included many thoughtful touches. Kitchen was well-stocked and the pool was great. Best part was the top deck at night, cool and breezy. Most rentals are scrubbed of all personality but this home still has family pictures and heirlooms all around, lending a very homey feel. It was the perfect ops center for our big event!

Relaxing and

Staying near beautiful Ocean Drive and close to the beach, bayfront, aquarium etc all the while being in a peaceful, quiet and charming neighborhood was just what our family needed. We went fishing, had a beach day, pool day, aquarium and science museum week. Our kids were so sad to leave. Special thanks to the host for a clean big beautiful cozy house! We had a wine bottle, chips and dip and cold AC that greeted us. The host made sure house was perfect we will stay again for sure!

Family time

This is a lovely home to use as a base for activities in Corpus Christi. The weather didn't cooperate for us to spend time in pool or hot tub, but they both looked very inviting. The neighborhood is quiet and large yards separate the homes. The owner is very responsive to questions/ concerns. There was also a very friendly neighborhood cat who liked to pop by to check on us.

Check-in was easy. Kitchen was warm and welcoming, had everything we needed, so we were able to eat in a few times. Bathrooms were towel-stocked and I loved not having to give up the luxury of big, plush towels. THEY HAVE POOL SUPPLIES! And that was a huge plus; an added bonus. There were a few times I needed to reach out to Rebecca and the response was always prompt and favorable. I appreciated that. It was another added bonus.
