This place was FANTASTIC! My best friend and I were coming in town for a wedding and wanted something outside the 'Airbnb box' and this definitely surpassed our expectations! Highly recommend noting that when on water - even in Texas - it can be quite chilly when the wind picks up. Not a negative, just a tip to bring something warm just in case. Jessica was a lovely host and continuously touched base/checked in to make sure we knew she was available if we needed anything. p.s. Sunday morning my phone went kaput and I had to get a new one on the way back to Houston, I was not intending on ghosting you Jessica haha Thank you so much for a fantastic little hideaway! <3
If you visit during the week, it will feel like you have the entire place to yourself. It can get very busy on the weekends, which is a lot of fun! It does clear out in the evening, just in time to relax & enjoy a gorgeous sunset. The marina staff and boat owners are all very helpful and enjoy chatting and relaxing with new friends.

自我介绍
Hi, I’m Jessica! If I made up a story about my life, I really couldn’t make it weirder than the truth. I’m a native Texan, but I went to grad school in Miami. I have a PhD in Biology and used to be an Academic researcher. I did the whole shebang; I’m a published author and even wrote a couple of chapters in an obscure textbook! During my studies, I rode an airboat to work, I stepped on an alligator in the Florida Everglades, & got stung in the eye by a Caribbean wasp in Trinidad. I’ve been to almost every body of water in South Florida, but I’ve never once seen a manatee in the wild…and I’m still upset about it. Once I finished my stint in Academia, I taught myself interior design and how to renovate homes by demoing my own ugly kitchen… my spouse thought I was crazy, but I was fed up with looking at it. Now, we have an entire business doing it! Designing and hosting Airbnbs was the natural next step for me, and I love it. I still dabble in science, but mostly just for fun. I enjoy tacos, water sports with my little girl, and building custom furniture….but only when I’m supposed to be doing something more important; I lovingly call it “procrastination art”. I love creating spaces for people to enjoy. But I really love hosting because it allows me to up the ante and use these spaces to create EXPERIENCES that people enjoy! I can’t wait to host you!
