With the sand and surf just a few steps away, you'll have incredible access to one of the most uncrowded stretches of beach on the Texas coast. Fly a kite in the breeze or wade in the warm water to your heart's content!

Beautiful hardwood floors create a cool, comfortable place to relax while watching TV or surfing the free WiFi. Pick up some fresh fish from the market and fix yourself a delicious seafood dinner in the fully equipped kitchen, then head downstairs to the covered mezzanine to dine in the open air as the ocean sparkles in the distance. For a small fee, you can even bring your canine friends along to join in the fun too! (Two dogs max, please.)
