Just send a text w/ a picture of the grill and we will address the issue.

Great location to everything!
The location of this house was perfect for our weekend with our daughter and son-in-law! Close to everything including shopping, restaurants and bay. The house is an older home but the owners have thought of everything to make it comfortable and welcoming. Thank you!

Family comfort
Came to Corpus Christi to enjoy some time with my children. We got to go to Comic-Con 2024. The home was tony enough to provide space for creativity and wonderful time cooking. The big kitchen had plenty of pots and pans. The best night sleep in a long while! The bed were wickedly comfortable! If you want a good night's sleep, this is the house you want to stay in. The kitchen is nice anhere

Corpus family
Not perfect but, excellent all in all. Location was great, very safe and close to everything Corpus. House was clean, beds comfortable, eat in kitchen very nice ( no toaster), the rest of the furniture was ok and sparse. Drive way is horrible, huge cracks and a big dip as you enter. Cars will bottom out entering. The electrical is a puzzle as most switches do nothing, backyard lighting didn't work, they said they would fix, but never showed up.

Older home with modern amenities
This was such a cute house! You can tell it was a little bit older, but the owners have done a great job of adding in modern touches. Wireless phone chargers and tower fans just as examples. It very close to the ocean. I just wish it was a little closer to the actualy beach. However its just a short drive. Overall it was a great place to stay

Close to the beaches ⛱️
My family enjoyed our stay! It truly was a home away from home. An HEB grocery store is not too far, so shopping for groceries/essentials came easy. The buttons for the lighting/opening AC vents took a few minutes to figure out, but nothing too hectic. I'm still willing to vacay here again!

Great house! Close to beaches and dining.
Great stay and close to the island campus where our son will be in the Fall. Also close to several beaches, restaurants and shopping. My only suggestion would be to bring beach/folding or lounge chairs if you want to sit outside. Only a couple of chairs on the patio.

This is a spacious 3 bedroom home with plenty of room to spread out. We loved all the window seats and pillows and blankets that made our stay very cozy! The eat in kitchen was a great space, but plan to bring everything you need. Basic pots and pans are available. Bring a cooler for ice if needed as the ice machine in the fridge is non working. The location right off Ocean Drive was perfect for early morning walks. While we didn’t use the back yard space this time, we would definitely consider bringing our fur babies for the fenced in yard and covered patio. Bring your own lawn chairs if you want to enjoy the patio. As this seems to be a newer rental option, there are a few things being added or worked out but The owners were very responsive to our needs and very easy to work with! We’ll be back!
