While my daughter got settled into her new apartment as she was moving to Houston to start her residency at Baylor, we stayed in this lovely beach house. It was perfect with a nicely appointed bedroom for each of us. It was also spotless, and before and after our moving-in tasks each day, this daughter-mom-grandmom team enjoyed the sea breeze while sitting out on the deck watching the tankers head into the inlet.
The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed for coffee and a nice breakfast each day, and we heeded the host's advice to purchase ice at the mini-mart 2 minutes away.
We also took the excellent advice to eat at the Red Snapper. We had the best meal of our stay at this low-key, casual place with top-notch fresh seafood. Highly recommend!
We walked the 10 minutes along the seawall to reach the public swimming beach and then down the pier where we saw ships, dolphins, and a beautiful sunset.
The beach area there is small, but friendly, safe, and not overcrowded, with lots of families playing and picknicking.
It was probably just a few years since the other side of the seawall that is seen from the house had a small walkable/swimmable beach, but now that the water has risen, that beach is gone. The water comes up over the rocks and breaks over the wall. The view is still wonderful, and fishermen are not deterred by clambering right into the water from the rocks.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to staying here again in future visits!
