Gulf Getaway

Sit back, relax, and bask in the ocean breeze at this home on the Texas coast. It's got everything you need to feel at home – a cosy living area, multiple porches for outdoor relaxation, and a loft bedroom for kids with an Xbox and daybeds. But the best part is the location. The beach is just 500 feet away – simply grab your gear and sprawl out on the sand in no time. You'll also have access to a slew of exciting amenities here, ranging from shared swimming pools and playgrounds for little ones to on-site restaurants.

Home truths:
*The fourth bedroom is lofted above a second lounge. There are two single beds in the loft, plus two daybeds in the small lounge below. We think this room is best for children.
*We suggest having a car in this location. There's a two-car garage here.
*You'll have access to the resort gym, swimming pools, athletic courts, playgrounds, pier and fishing pavilions, on-site restaurants, and more here. They're shared with other guests.
*The lead guest must be at least 25 years old.
*Construction work is ongoing in the area from 8am to 6pm, Monday to Saturday and on occasional Sundays. Be prepared to experience some noise during your stay.
