Gracious host

Our stay was not for leisure (traveling for work) so our schedule did not allow us to take advantage of what I’m sure would have been wonderful breakfasts. Everything was as expected from the listing. Would recommend for a relaxing getaway.

About the host

Hosted by Martha

Host profile image
I purchased the property in 2020 and spent 1 year renovating and updating it into a Bed and Breakfast so that I can share it with others. As a professional in the design industry, I also work and live in the home as your host. If you visit us frequently, you will find I am always changing the layout and interiors. It is furnished with mostly new furnishings or repurposed local pieces. It is a casual, yet beautiful home, with everything you need to relax and just have fun. I have provided the studio with games, an internet provided TV and room air conditioner with ceiling fans for your comfort and enjoyment. I am working on providing outdoor activities such as horseshoes and cornhole. I love the water and you will find me on my kayak or lounging in the sand when I am not working. I also have 2 dogs, Blu and Scoobie. They are fairly friendly, and Blu loves to play fetch. They are not allowed outside the fenced backyard or in the studio.
I enjoy gardening, so you may see lots of flowers here and inside, depending on time of year. I also enjoy music, and will most likely have Alexa playing something fun.

Why they chose this property

My property is ideally located!! We are a stone throws from the famous farmers market, and a few steps away from Veteran's Park in beautiful downtown Pt. Austin. You can walk to the beach, or drive, as there are many beautiful private beaches near me. There are also many events through out the year here. Check the Chamber of Commerce page for a complete list. Fall and winter rates are affordable and the area offers many things to do in the thumb.

What makes this property unique

Small, unique one bedroom unit is private. Sleeping futon available in sitting room. Tvs in both rooms. Friendly owner uses lower level.
