Pros
Beautiful house, quiet neighborhood, patio was delightful and comfortable. Spent most of the time outside eating, reading, enjoying the cool breezes. Kitchen had plenty of pots, pans, glass and dishware to use. Laundry was so helpful to have on premises. A/C worked throughout the house but we didn’t really need it because the house is constructed in a way that kept it a comfortable temperature most of the time. We were only one couple but this would be an easy house to have extended family.
It’s a 15-20 minute walk to downtown tourist area but very thankful we were in the quiet Corpus Christi neighborhood because it was Carnival weekend and there was lots of festivities- parades, bands, fireworks, for 4 consecutive nights. We could engage in what we wanted but come home to our nice quiet house for a good night’s rest. Neighborhood was a mix of locals, expats, and a few tourists. Walked everywhere day and night and always felt comfortable. Kids out playing, people walking their dogs, expats playing pickleball, people walking to work and families dressed up in costumes and picnic baskets on their way to the parades.
Cons
Checkin was not as described in communication. Quickly solved by manager. Hot water is tricky to use. Get instructions to activate instant hot water tank from owner or manager. If listing still says heated pool, check with owners that it has been fixed. It did not work as promised in listing and in house book.
