Good to know
Upon arrival, you’ll be welcomed by a peaceful landscape just steps from the property. From the oversized back deck, enjoy sweeping views of the wetlands along the bayside of the peninsula — a prime spot for birdwatching along the Great Texas Coastal Birding Trail. You’ll also have a clear view of the intercoastal canal, where ships pass regularly. The sunsets from this deck are absolutely breathtaking — it’s the reason we fell in love with the home. Inside, a short flight of stairs leads to an open-concept living room and kitchen designed for connection. The oversized couch faces the bar and kitchen, making it easy to gather, cook, and relax together. A large wall-mounted TV with a swivel mount allows you to angle it however you like — perfect for movie nights or catching the game from anywhere in the room. This two-bedroom home comfortably sleeps six guests with three queen-size beds — one in the primary bedroom and two in a spacious bunk setup in the guest room. Each bedroom includes its own TV. The primary suite offers a cozy, romantic feel with soft, neutral tones, while the guest room adds a fun, beachy vibe with vintage touches like a 1970s surfboard and a unique tree-wood lamp. Both full bathrooms feature tub/shower combinations and spacious vanities. We provide body wash, shampoo, conditioner, Q-tips, cotton balls, face towels, and a hair dryer for your convenience. Above the bedrooms, you’ll find a loft space ideal for remote work or quiet reading, complete with a desk and a cozy vintage chair. Please note: the loft is accessed by a ladder that requires moderate agility. It is securely anchored but may not be suitable for elderly guests or those with mobility limitations. The property also includes a full RV hookup with direct sewer cleanout and both 3- and 4-prong electrical connections. Simply park alongside the garage on the concrete and gravel drive. This is perfect for larger gatherings (additional $50 per night — please let us know in advance if you plan to use it). Guests also have access to the neighborhood pool. The gate key (attached to a backscratcher so it doesn’t get misplaced!) is located in the kitchen cabinet next to the microwave. The beach is visible from the front door and just a five-minute walk or one-minute drive away. With a beach pass (available at local stores), you can park directly on the sand. Spend the day sunbathing, beachcombing, fishing, or even enjoying a beach fire when permitted. Whether you’re looking for adventure or a relaxing coastal escape, we hope you find everything you need at Jelly Bay.

Other Details to Note
We want everything available to you that we would want ourselves. Some of the things we took care to add to the house are: - Filtered drinking water - we installed a water filter on the cold line of the kitchen sink. - Comfortable beds - we picked beds that we enjoy sleeping in ourselves. We think you'll have your best night of sleep while staying here. - Intentional design - we started from scratch when we put this house together, picking colors and textures that work hand in hand. When you're here you can't help but appreciate the continuity.
