Hello private beachfront paradise! The main level great room is completely open, with a wall of windows facing the sea. Vaulted ceilings add to the modern and airy vibe. Outside through the glass doors, an oceanfront deck beckons you to slip out of your flip flops and relax on one of the comfortable lounge chairs. Listen to the sound of the waves crashing against the shore and the call of the seagulls as you soak up the sun or sit in the shade with a frosty cocktail.



The stylish kitchen features a huge quartz-topped island— 30 feet long! White cabinets, two dishwashers, and a commercial-grade refrigerator face the ocean views, while additional glass-front cabinets and workspaces are around the corner. There is ample seating between the seats at the island and the nearby dining table. Your whole family will love to gather together in this bright space over warm mugs of coffee in the mornings or cocktails at happy hour. A door off the kitchen leads into a convenient laundry room and pantry.



Down the hallway, a guest bedroom suite has a king-size bed and a full attached bathroom. Two more bedrooms each have king-sized beds. Two flexible bunk rooms have two twin-over-twin-size built-in bunks. Two full bathrooms can be accessed from both hallways.



On the third floor, a guest bedroom has a full-size bed and a cozy reading nook. Across the way, another bedroom has a king-size bed and attached bunk room with two full-size beds and four-twin size beds. This spacious room also has a sun-drenched, private balcony with show-stopping ocean views. The ensuite bathroom has a deep soaking tub and step-in shower.



On the ground floor, a game room and hang-out space has one queen-size and two full-size beds. An outdoor shower is ideal after a sandy day at the shore. The spacious covered patio has a barbeque grill, picnic tables, and a swaying hammock for an afternoon siesta in the shade. To get to the beach, simply walk over your private weathered boardwalk and down into the warm sand and salty surf of the Gulf of Mexico. Westwind is a flawless, private beachfront paradise on the Texas coast.

Wonderful space and a Beautiful View

This house was perfect for our extended family vacation! Plenty of sleeping space for everyone to be comfortable including fun bunk rooms for the cousins! The living space was spacious and comfortable as was the kitchen and dining areas. The kitchen was very well stocked with cookware and dishes. The main fridge wasn't working which was a little annoying, but there were multiple fridges in the kitchen area and so there was still plenty of space to keep all of our perishables cold. The view was spectacular! The game room was an extra perk that the teens enjoyed. We loved the direct beach access and enjoyed so much time out on the beach and in the waves. We would definitely be interested in staying here again in the future!

House needs work

I do like the set up but a lot needs work on the house and things are incomplete. Had some issues and for the price don’t think I should have had them. All trash bins were overflowing in front of house when we got there, a sprinkler was damaged, downstairs was dirty and bbq pit was dirty and the main frig was not working. We did have a good time but just unhappy with all the things that were wrong. I felt like I spent more time dealing with what was wrong.

Some maintenance needed

Overall no issues but the house was a bit run down. Door knobs needed to be fixed, table is really wobbly, low spots in the floor. We also found the oven had a lot of cleaning chemical so when we turned it on the toxic smell filled the house.

This house with great for our 20 people that stayed. Plenty of room to spread out and lots of sleeping options. Any problems that arose the host was quick to attend to. The short walk to the beach was awesome and we could see our kids off the large deck. Very private beach which was also awesome!

Great location! Great home!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. A perfect location immediately on the beach! So many bedroom options for children and adults! More beds than we knew what to do with. Communication was quite effective with the management. There were a few broken kitchen cabinets and messy drawers but it did not negatively effect our stay whatsoever.
