Great family option
This was our second time staying at La Casa Gialla and we enjoyed it again. It comfortably accommodated my husband and me, our four kids, my parents, and my brother and sister in law. The kitchen is incredibly well-appointed for cooking just about anything, though if anything, it could use fewer duplicative dishes to allow for a little space for your own food, spices, etc. One down side for us is the fact that there isn’t a grill. And if you bring one, you have to use it in the driveway where there’s no shade. Makes no sense, IMO. The pool is great. The sunshade wasn’t over it when we got there, but we called the management company and they were responsive. Sent someone out the next day to put it on. That made a big difference, allowing us to use it for longer periods and cooling off the water significantly. The downstairs master suite is beautiful with lots of room and a separate tub and shower that are both pretty awesome. Be sure to get the key to the back fence, which allows you to access the outdoor shower when you get back from the beach so you don’t have to track all the sand in the house. Highly recommend!

Great week
We had a wonderful week in the house! The house was very clean! The kitchen is incredibly well stocked - plenty of bakeware, serving dishes, plates, glasses and flatware, etc. We were able to bake cookies for the holidays and fix lots of wonderful meals with what was available for our use. The pool is not heated so we were unable to use that and there is no grill so we brought a small one, both of these items would be great additions. The house is well set up with comfortable furnishings and plenty of linens. The instructions for anything you need to do are clear and easy to understand. The check in and out process were really easy. The grocery store on island is really expensive so it is definitely worth bringing your groceries in from Corpus Christi. The local store is pretty well stocked for anything you forget or run out of. The house is conveniently located for accessing the beach - it is a bit of a walk but just a few minutes by car. We would definitely use the property again! Our group was 3 seniors, middle-age couple and 2 singles in 20's.

Cozy, fun and has all the things!
It was just a wonderful experience and the home was cozy and had everything you needed. The master bathroom was amazing! It was rainy when we stayed but my twin boys loved sitting on the deck and jumping in the pool anyway. They would get cold and go straight to the master rain hot shower. Perfect distance to the beach with the free golf cart. That was the highlight! The outdoor shower wasn’t working but maybe we didn’t know how to turn it on so we could have reached out and I’m sure the rental company would have helped us. They were a pleasure to work with and seemless transaction getting in and out of the property. Thank you for such a great stay for our family and a very much needed get away.
