Recent Texas Gulf Coast guest reviews

The house is huge with plenty of space both indoor and out. The bedrooms downstairs have their own a/c units and fans which is a must in a humid summer environment (works as heaters in winter). The balcony has a gigantic fan to keep air flowing and bugs away. The owners also confirmed they sprayed for mosquitoes which was a bonus. The kitchen was fully stocked. I used the crockpot, oven, multiple utensils, and was very happy about the extra fridge. The kids loved the pool table inside and picnic tables outside. There’s a place on the balcony of the boat house where you can jump off from the upper deck into the river and there’s a ladder in the water to help them get back onto the deck. They did that over and over one afternoon and into the evening. The river is lined with woods and beautiful houses. If you get a chance to bring a boat, it’s perfect for cruising. We were also able to surf and tube too, there’s plenty of room on the river for it. We had no trouble with feeling cramped or running out of towels or bathrooms or pillows. You feel just far enough away from city life for it to be relaxing and quiet but close enough to a small town if you forgot some groceries. We had an excellent weekend here!

We enjoyed our stay at this home with my 3 kids and family. The home is exactly as pictured and also has a play room upstairs with a ton of toys which were absolutely great for our kids. Loved every minute in this home. We will be back.

The house was the perfect space for my family to stay during our trip. It had enough rooms and bathrooms for everyone and allowed us all the ability to spend time together under 1 roof. The pool was great for swimming and the pier for fishing or just a late night walk.
