Cozy bay house

My family and I booked this house so we could some time fishing. We had a fishing trip planned for the morning we were there but due to weather it was canceled. We had to deal with fishing off the pier. We actually caught quite a few fish in the evening. All amenities were easy to find. Great house for small family wanting to enjoy the bay and some fishing.

Had a great stay!

The place was great but the property manager needs to replace the grate on the grill, update the WiFi instructions and fix the wood floors that are warped from water or moisture in a few spots. Loved the area and recommend Fulton Pier, Tackletown, USS Lexington, Mustang Island State Park and North Padre National Seashore.
