We enjoyed our stay at Long Island villages. The sea cottage was perfect for the 4 of us. The sea cottage was clean and well equipped. We spent every evening on the porch watching the sunset, dolphins, birds, boats, ships and barges. We spent the day fishing and bird watching. Gabriel was an awesome host and answered any questions we had. Very easy access instructions to the cottage and while staying in the cottage. During our stay we observed Purple Martins, Snowy Egret, Common Egret, Great Blue Heron, Little Blue Heron, Barn Swallow, Double Crested Cormorant, Brown Pelican, Laughing Gull, Osprey, Logger-head Shrike, Blackburnian Warbler, Black-bellied Whistling Duck, Red-breasted Merganser, Redhead, Staling, English Sparrow, Herring Gull, Royal Tern, Great-tailed Grackle, Boat-tailed Grackle, Turkey Vulture, Caracara, Cooper's Hawk, Rock Dove, Eurasian Collared Dove, Morning Dove (27), Little Green Heron, Red-winged Blackbird, Golden-crowned Woodpecker, Tree Swallow, Kiskadee, Great White Heron, White Ibis, Ring-billed Gull, Wiltet, Solitary Sandpiper (10), Greater Yellowlegs, Black-necked Stilt, Merlin, Least Sandpiper, Roseate Spoonbill, Tri-colored Heron (43), Coyote and many Dolphins.

The house is in a wonderful location, right at the beginning of the bridge that takes you to South Padre. The neighborhood is nice & people are very friendly. The house itself was comfortable, although the outside could use a little attention--about half the Edison bulbs are burnt out, the owl meant to scare away the birds has no head (haha), and the grill is completely rusted (maybe unavoidable on the coast?). The inside was fine, but there was no body wash or bar soap. The instruction manual definitely needs updating to include elevator operating instructions (only way to access the loft) and the TV. Owner did not send access codes to neighborhood or cottage, we called him on the way to the property. That said, owner was very responsive once contacted. With just a little bit of TLC, this property could easily be 5 stars.

Property was as advertised. Really nice and peaceful.

Really clean, and comfortable for all of us my kids loved it, they didnt even want to go anywhere.

Gabriel is an amazing host! Excellent communication! Always available when we needed him! Nice place! Clean! Right on the water for easy boat access ! Had a great time! Great location! Would definitely recommend ! Thanks Gabriel!

We had a great stay Jan-April 2021. Gabriel and his wife are great hosts and were simply a text/phone call/email away to assist us. The property was clean, the views of the ship channel were great and the neighborhood was quiet.

Everything was good till check out and we found out our car was towed. The front office had the wrong contact information and they contacted the wrong renter. They kept saying the reservation was for a Mata.
