About this property

On the Water! Birdwatching in Progreso Lakes!

Located on a peaceful lake nature reserve, enter into a world of beauty when you walk through the door. A twenty foot expanse of windows overlooks Moon Lake. There are no homes across the water, ensuring complete privacy. A large and bright open concept living room and kitchen with saltillo tile floors embrace gatherings. There is a large HD television in the living area, but who needs a television when one has the beauty of nature outside the doors!

The space
Another wall of windows welcome you to the immense primary bedroom (20'x36') with a king size bed and large sitting area. There is a private en suite bathroom.

The second bedroom has a queen size bed and en suite as well.

The home is decorated colorfully, reminding one of the culture in nearby Mexico. The turquoise kitchen has an island that seats 3, and a dining table can accommodate another 4-5 guests. The living room is bright, with colorful Mexican blankets draping the furniture. Relax and unwind in your comfortable and relaxing vacation surroundings.

The home has a private 10'x12' dock. Spend time relaxing, fishing, or taking in nature and the abundance of migratory birds in the winter. The morning sunrises are spectacular!

The home will sleep 6 people, and is 1,900 square feet with a separate 400 square foot guest cottage.

Guest access
The home is yours! Access to the main home and guest cottage. Keyless, number coded locks so there is no need to worry about losing the keys. New large washer and dryer for your use, and a large kitchen that is fully equipped to meet your needs. There is a new dishwasher making it easy to clean up.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to the proximity of the lake, our insurance prohibits us from hosting children under the age of 12 due to liability.

DISCLOSURE: There is a video doorbell and two cameras in the back yard. We close the apps to the backyard cameras when we have guests.

Can’t wait to stay here again!

We stayed at this home for two weeks and enjoyed every minute of it. The house and grounds are just as described in the listing and the afternoon view of the lake is so peaceful. The home is well equipped with everything you need to enjoy your stay and the original artwork throughout the house is very special! The kitchen has all that you need to prepare meals and the homeowner even provided starter breakfast items for our stay. In addition, she was extremely responsive to any questions we had. The rooms are large and the furniture comfortable. I have only good things to say about this property and look forward to our next trip to the Valley so that we can stay here again!

Second Stay - Just as Good as the First

This was our second time staying in this home and we enjoyed it just as much the second time around. The home is beautifully decorated, super clean, and has all the things needed to make your stay enjoyable. The beds and linens are very comfortable. The home has great technology features that include high-speed internet, large screen TVs, streaming services, and Alexa. The view from the home is fantastic, overlooking a lake with great birding opportunities. The location is perfect for those who are interested in activities throughout the valley, being just a few minutes from Santa Ana NWR AND Estero Llano Grande State Park. Lisa is the perfect hostess and always goes above and beyond for her renters. She was quick to answer questions we had and the check in and check out processes were quick and simple to follow.

Progresso lake home

Was a very nice house, spacious and beautifully decorated. Was very easy to contact owner and was very relaxing. We enjoyed the tank pool a couple of times. It did get a little dirt in through the cover as neighbor was doing dirt work in yard. Overall very nice and would rent again

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Malloy

Host profile image
My husband and I love south Texas and cannot wait to share our vacation home with you! We love Mexican food, beaches, and the incredible weather you will find in the Rio Grande Valley! Oh, and a cold beer on the dock is pretty fine on a warm day!

We love simplicity and a bit of spontaneity in life. This has been curtailed for me in the past few years as I have Multiple Sclerosis, so I now want to share this zest for life with others.

I look forward to connecting with people traveling to the Rio Grande Valley, and provide you with true hospitality and a wonderful experience.
Thanks for checking out our place, and I hope to talk to you soon!

Lisa & Stuart

Words I have embraced as a philosophy for life:
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” ~ Mark Twain

"Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things." ~Robert Breault
