Waited a few days to write a review to give me time to reflect. In doing so, I can honestly say that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. My wife has talked about it everyday since. Driving on the beach was tricky at first but by the end of the week, I was as comfortable at driving as a local. Saw many horses, which my granddaughter (6yo) found to be very exciting. Beaches were always perfect. Sandy beach all the way out to the 3rd break. We swam, surfed, boogie boarded, skim boarded, paddle board, body surfed, every day excepted one. That day we went crabbing (at the park maybe 1.5 mis away).. The house.. was very nice, clean, and well set up. Everyone slept well, plenty of room. Outside bar area was used.. often! Drank, ate and played cornhole on the large covered patio. Really couldn't use the canal. There was a dredger barge work set up plus the cacti made it tricky to walk to the edge anyway.... All n All, I am very happy I rented this place. It was a vacation that we will be talking about for a very long time. Thank you Katrina!!
