Long weekend
We were looking for an easy place to stay in Corpus Christi to get away for Mothers Day weekend. This property was quiet and easy to find, right on the water. It was exactly what we needed, and would recommend to anyone looking for a home base for their trip.

Perfect location
We loved the property, views and location. The location is perfect for boating, kayaking and fishing from the varied piers. The property offered great views of the sunrise and the restaurants just over the bridge offered great views of the sunset. It was a quick drive to PINS, Texas State Aquarium and other attractions that my teens thoroughly enjoyed. Would absolutely stay again!

Corpus
Unit was beautiful and clean. We stayed at this location on a cross country trip. Corpus was not one of our favorite stops. Unit itself not near a beach and not a great place to walk the dog. Process of getting in and out of the unit was great.

Really cute
This house was really cute, super clean, and came with all the little necessities like laundry detergent, dish detergent, kitchen sponge, bathroom supplies. Also left a little goodie bag that was fun. Only downside has nothing to do with the property but the location. Strong sulfur smell coming off of the Gulf on the road to the house.
