About this property
Bay View Cottage - 1 block to lighted fishing piers, parks, boat ramp & more.
Fair Winds is a fully equipped, 2BR/2B, bay view vacation home conveniently located in historic downtown Palacios. It is within walking distance of restaurants and some of the nicest public fishing facilities on the South Texas coast. Enjoy free, first-class amenities including a swimming beach, protected boat launch, lighted fishing pier, miles of bayside parks, playgrounds, and picnic areas, just a short walk from your front porch.
Speaking of the front porch, it is the perfect place to enjoy a morning cup of coffee or an evening cocktail. The combination living/kitchen area has a satellite TV and a sleeper sofa bed. The kitchen is equipped with a fridge, a four-burner cooktop with a full oven, coffee and tea bar, a microwave, and service settings for eight.
All bedrooms feature lamps with USB ports for easy charging of all electronic devices.
There is an additional in-law suite on the property featuring a 1/1 efficiency (sleeps 2) available for an additional nightly cost if interested. Please note the in-law suite is ONLY available to be rented by guests who rent the larger home.
Hope to see you soon.

About the host
Hosted by Jan Pierce
Why they chose this property
Our family is very passionate about the Texas Gulf Coast and loved how walkable the home's location is. We especially fell in love with the bay breeze and bay views from the porch.
What makes this property unique
Location, location, location! Walk one block north and you're in the historic downtown district with access to restaurants, one block east is the City by the Sea Museum, one block south is the bay with a fishing pier, boat ramp, and parks. You can not beat the location of this home.
