(2 public boat launches are less than 2 miles away) There is plenty of good fishing! There are many things to do in this area. We are a 1/2 hour from the Laguna Madre National Refuge, Mexico border towns, shopping and outlet malls.

There are stairs leading to the second floor.
Guests may use all available kitchen appliances.
Bath towels and linens are available for guest use. Bring your own beach towel.

Love this place. We have enjoyed our stay the past 3 years. Always enjoy the fishing and gazebo.

The owners are very friendly. When we have a question they are quick to respond. Definitely a wonderful place to enjoy God's nature and fish in the river. Highly recommend this place.
