We recommend a journal, a bathing suit for sunbathing, and comfy clothes to lounge around the beach house in. Bring a yoga mat if you have one. Feel free to BYOB or personal bottle of wine for evening activities. We’re bringing “staycation mode” to the next level.

We’ll send you all the location info once you sign up. However, the drive to our beautiful little home is typically 1hr and 20 min TOPS coming from Houston. There is rarely traffic on weekends (whoop whoop!) and to our day pass people: we’ll make sure to send you off before the sunset so you’re not driving home in the dark.
We’re the very first exit after the causeway bridge so it’s a straight shoot to the freeway coming in and out.
