Best House

We have stayed at many houses over the years in Corpus and this was by far the best one we have ever stayed at! It had so many spaces to spread out and you never felt crowded. We will always try to stay at this house when we travel to Corpus. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

Great stay, great times always

Enjoyed our stay here once again. Best property management. Super responsive and always in a very timely manner!! The only thing that would make this stay better is some additional lighting outside in the backyard. The ring cameras do not produce enough light to properly light the area in the backyard. And the Motion camera constantly goes off and leaves us in the dark. T but we will definitely be staying here again!!

Family Vaca

We loved the house! Plenty of room for all of us and the 4 bathrooms helped a lot! The hot tub was a huge hit with the kids and we loved that the dining table was big enough for us all to sit at. The house is in a quiet neighborhood and not a far drive from all the activities we had planned. Would definitely stay here again!

A place where memories were made.

Our stay was a memorable one. It was interrupted by hurricane Beryl. So after one night stay we had to evacuate, which ended up being for three days. We came back for the remainder of our reservation. The hosts were very helpful and we really enjoyed the house. The grandchildren were excited that we could go back after the threat was over.

Beautiful house

We absolutely loved this property. It was in a nice and quiet neighborhood. We were able to fit 4 trucks and 3 cars in the driveway. The rooms were spacious and beds were very comfortable. Kitchen was equipped with everything needed. Best part of the house was the backyard. 5 different areas to sit in and enjoy your vacation with a drink in your hand and a relaxing view.

Beach Getaway

This property could hold a large crowd. There were not enough blankets or pillows For the beds that were already there. We brought blankets and pillows, which saved our sleeping arrangements, but they were not provided by the owner. There was a book that also told us if we moved any furniture that if we did not replace the furniture from its original position, we were going to be fined.. I did like the location of this beach house and it was clean. Just be aware that you may have to bring sheets and blankets of your own. The kitchen was well stocked. Arriving at 4 o’clock seemed late and leaving at 10:00 AM. Seemed a bit early for a crowd of 19. The space was sufficient for that Many people. The large dining area allowed us to help play games. The young children had plenty to do. The public beaches nearby.

Why they chose this property

Our family has loved visiting Corpus Christi since our kids were little. The beaches, the great weather year-round, it's a great place to be any time! We chose to buy this house because of the size and location. It was the largest home for sale in Flour Bluff at the time. We have a large family so, from our personal vacationing experiences, we know it can be difficult to find a home big enough to fit everyone. We wanted our vacation home to be the place where large families can gather and create memories. This is our personal vacation home so we have put additional touches on it that you won't find at other vacation homes such as reverse osmosis water filtration, memory foam mattresses, 5.2 surround sound system, a VitaMix blender, double waffle maker, and more!

What makes this property unique

Enjoy fishing in the canal right from your very own private dock in the backyard.
Relax in the hot tub in the evenings. Bird watch at sun down and gaze at the stars at night. The Held-Moran bird sanctuary is about 1/4 mile to the west. Beautiful birds fly in and out.
Enjoy all of the offerings of the backyard covered patio with beautiful views of the canal, the gas fire pit, and TV.
Start your day with a cup of coffee in our Coffee Bar area, complete with a Ninja coffee maker, complimentary coffee grounds, Torani syrups, and creamer.
