Great vacation spot

We stayed here while in town for the TAAF State Track Meet in Brownsville for 6 days. This is the only place to stay next time we come. Trey was great. Very responsive and provided us with everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. We were able to see dolphins of the back porch, fish of the dock, and just all around relax in the house. Lots of room and it had beds for everyone. 5 stars for sure all around.

The Best Place To Stay In Arroyo City

This is by far the best place to stay in Arroyo City I have been renting properties every year trying out different rentals to enjoy a weekend of fishing, relaxation and peace of mind of having the space with my family without being worried of where to accommodate everyone. We are a group of 8 and believe me there was still much more space available. We all loved it and wish we could of had more time we’ll definitely be coming back. The place is clean, spacious and outdoors is like no other we grilled, fished and even had a spot to overnight dock our family boat. DO NOT HESITATE TO RENT THIS PLACE ITS AWESOME.
