Great Weekend Getaway
We've taken a number of weekend getaways, this far exceeded our expectations. Our host (Liz) was excellent, the property was very well taken care of, just getting a chance to relax was what my wife and I needed the most. Highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a great place to stay and relax, fish a little or just read a book.

Definitely booking this Again!
We are VERY new to the Galveston area! We are super familiar with Padre and Rockport, but now that my son goes to Texas A&M Galveston, we have been going more and this house was PERFECT for our group! So glad we chose this property. The location/neighborhood with the marina and restaurants was a bonus! The house was super clean and decorated to a tee. Great for entertaining with lots of seating areas upstairs and downstairs! The fenced in yard made relaxing even easier, not worrying about the dog getting out! We will for sure be booking this house again! The owners/manager were great and very responsive (even sending me a baby blanket that i left there :))

Perfect Spot!
The house was super clean - spotless and as pictured. Check in was easy and the house had everything needed for an enjoyable stay. My grandkids enjoyed swimming at the house and there were toys and yard games for them as well. There was easy access to the beach as well as to the neighborhood pool. We had a relaxing trip and would definitely stay here again. The Hinojosa's were wonderful host.

Perfect Family Getaway Home
This was a great location close to the beach and bay. Enjoyed the canal views and fishing off the rear deck. The house was very clean and comfortable and wonderfully decorated with a beach feeling. The lower and upper decks were great for spending time with family and enjoying the view and the upper deck was enjoyable in the morning an evenings to experience the gulf air and breeze. The house was completely furnished and had everything that we needed to spend a week at the beach. Location was great and could walk to marina and beach area or use a golf cart for super quick access. Amazing sunsets at the community pier in the evening. Everyone enjoyed the stay so much that we are already planning our next trip. The kayak was fun and floating in the canal was great in the afternoons after spending time at the beach earlier in the day.

Fantastic property
This was a great house for our family vacation! The layout for the house worked really well. There was plenty of space indoors and out. We took advantage of all of it! We enjoyed being on the canal and fished off of the dock. Both the upstairs deck and the downstairs area had plenty of spaces to gather. We rented a golf cart which made trips to the beach very easy. Kitchen was well stocked with cookware, etc. Beds were comfortable and there were plenty of towels. Communication was excellent! Everyone agreed that we would definitely come back!

Wonder home
During my family's recent visit, we had the pleasure of staying at this home that exceeded all of our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the cleanliness and beauty of the property. The house was immaculately maintained and every room was spotless and well-appointed. The peaceful setting of the house was the perfect backdrop for a relaxing getaway. Surrounded by lush greenery and beautiful landscaping, we felt like we were in our own private paradise. We enjoyed spending time outdoors on the spacious deck, taking in the serene surroundings and enjoying the fresh air. Inside, the house was tastefully decorated and thoughtfully designed for comfort and convenience. The open-concept layout made it easy for our family to spend quality time together, whether we were cooking in the well-equipped kitchen, lounging in the cozy living room, or playing games at the dining table. Overall, our experience at the vacation house was nothing short of amazing. We had a fun and memorable time together as a family, and we left feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. I would highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a peaceful and relaxing retreat.

One of the best places I've ever stayed. It was absolutely spotless and the décor matched everything well. The pictures matched exactly and honestly doesn't give enough credit. If you want someplace secluded to relax with friends or family I've yet to see or experience anywhere better.

I booked a quick weekend stay at Casa Poco Bueno for our group of 5. The home was adorable with a nautical/ beachy decor that really added to the relaxing vibe. The accomdations were wonderful! The property owners are excellent communicators and very gracious. We enjoyed taking our boat out for evening sunsets and fishing excursions, swimming, dining local and simply spending time with family! As an added bonus, having our fur-family members with us was great! We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others!
