NEWLY REMODELED OVERSIZED 2nd row beach house sleeps 14+, 75 yards to the water.

Cheaper than beach first row houses, but only 25 yards further from the beach with an almost identical view and feel (no roads to cross, we're on the beach side of the main road). The wind and ocean spray are there. That magical beachy smell of the ocean.... Our roomy, beachy comfortable 2nd row Gulf of Mexico house with full amenities including a kitchen full of utensils and dishes, a full sized washer and dryer, three large bedrooms down and a giant studio/playroom/room-full-of-4-giant-bunkbeds with a full bath upstairs is just 75 yards to the beach on the beach side of San Luis Pass Road. You can listen to the waves all night! The house has a large kitchen table and a newly remodeled open kitchen so everyone can work together to make dinner.

It has great WiFi with smart TV's (Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc.), ceiling fans, standing fans, good a/c in the summer and warm toasty heating in the winter upstairs and down. The beach is wide, clean and not busy and RIGHT THERE! The sand is soft and fluffy. This is a perfect get away spot about 13 miles west of the end of the Seawall. Also has a coffee maker, toaster, microwave, brand new dishwasher, new retro fridge and new oven/stove. We do our best to keep it stocked with dishes and flatware and cookware, salt/peper, cooking spray, coffee and fixins. We've got dish soap and laundry soap and full sized washer/dryer. We've got an ironing board and iron. We stock toilet paper, paper towels, and bath towels. It's got smoke alarms, and a blasting hot and cold outdoor shower. Two new beach-side decks (upper and lower), too! You will love it!

The property manager responded quickly when inquiries were asked, but the house reminded me of a Fraternity House. There was mismatched furniture, towels & sheets with names listed on the tags, unusable pots & pans & the perimeter of the house had not been cleaned. We will look for other options on our next visit.

Great property!!!

I’ve stayed at several beach properties in the last couple years, and this was one of my favorites. There was plenty of room in the house, it was just a short walk to the beach (I did it carrying a 4 year old with no problem), and it was the best stocked property I’ve ever stayed at, the kitchen had everything you need except food. Will definitely be back.

Unfortunately the air in the loft was messed up

There were some issues but I contacted the owner and he is willing to make it right. We did stay there despite the ac upstairs not cooling below 76. It was hot. The downstairs ac was great. There was water dripping in one of the bedrooms onto the windowsill which I also informed the owner.

Amazing friend reunion

Friends from Texas and Missouri met here for a reunion and it was everything we needed and more!!! Everyone had a comfy place to sleep without having to bunk with someone else. We all loved the deck and being able to drink our coffee and watch the waves crash in!!! The kids had their own space upstairs with TV, games, and private bathroom, allowing the adults to have fun downstairs! Amazing experience from start to finish!!! Will definitely return!!!

Great beach location

We experienced all weather while at the house. Used the heater the first day and a/c there after. All worked great. The weather did cause a short, less than 5 minute, power outage which caused us to have to reset some GFIC plugs. Otherwise, everything was perfect for our stay. The location was stellar, just a minute walk to the beach.

Amazing family vacation

The property is better in person than in pics!! Didn't realize the bunks were full size ones, so much room for the kids! They enjoyed having their own space! The house temp was set at 76° (but you can lower it) and I was amazed how cool the house was! It was very well stocked with kitchen items, bath towels (bring your own beach towel) and other things. We loved our morning coffee on the balcony watching and listening to the waves. Kids had fun chasing the little sand crabs that came out at night on the beach. We had such a good time,even our dog, he loved his walks on the beach and laying on the balcony watching birds fly by. Check in was easy and Mike was a pleasure to work with,only had to message him once which wasn't anything wrong, we were being remote control illiterate haha. Definitely plan on returning!!

Great place!

We actually rented Mike's home for our daughter and her friends, all 21 year old college students. Our daughter and her friends are pretty responsible, but not all 21 year olds are. This was our first time to let her rent a place for more than a night or two without parents chaperoning. We really appreciate that Mike was willing to rent to a young adult. Here is what the girls said: they had a group of 8 and there was PLENTY of space. They loved that it was so close to the beach, just a row of houses away. They also thought it was "soooo cute", and that the pictures on VRBO don't do it justice. That means a lot coming from 21 year old girls who obsess over taking selfies and "cuteness". Thanks Mike!

Fun family vaca

Home was just as described and there was room for everyone to sleep comfortably. Nice thing was there was plenty of hot water for all 8 of us to have nice showers. Good communication with owners before we got there. It was a nice quick walk to the beach which was wonderful. Washer, dishwasher worked great, clothes dryer not so good which was disclosed in communication. . Outdoor shower was a terrific addition! The beach was sandy and the water was wet, just as we hoped for! All in all we would recommend this rental to anyone and would love to go back! The SUN KISSED FAMILY

Third Time Stay

We keep returning to this place! We especially enjoy the balcony view and the breezes from the ocean - although it's second row, the ocean is SO close, you have a clear view of the water, you can hear the waves, there's a path to the beach, and it's close to the West End Marina, which has delicious food. That's why we'll be back in about two weeks!
