This upscale vacation home has elegant furnishings and coastal décor throughout. You’ll find beautiful white marble flooring on the main floor and wood flooring on the second floor. The large open living and dining areas offer plenty of comfortable seating choices to accommodate the entire group. The kitchen provides you with stainless steel appliances, spacious quartz counters and a breakfast bar. Whether you decide to dine in or take out, the kitchen and dining area provide all basic supplies your family should need to make a meal indoors. You'll also find a blender, toaster, and coffee maker (we supply a starter pack of coffee!) as well as your normal kitchen appliances - fridge, oven/stove, dishwasher, and microwave. The farmhouse dining table can accommodate 6 guests with additional seating at the breakfast bar. Your downstairs patio (includes your own gas grill) and an upstairs private balcony off the master overlook the 5th fairway of Baytowne Golf Course and a beautiful lake. There is also a laundry room with a full-size washer and dryer provided for your convenience.
The first guest bedroom is located downstairs which includes a twin over twin bunk bed and a flat screen TV. Just across the hall is a shared guest bathroom with a walk-in shower. Upstairs you’ll find the Master Bedroom suite with a King bed, private balcony, walk-in shower, and a deep soaking tub in the en-suite bath. The two additional guestrooms and bathrooms are also located upstairs. The second guest bedroom has a Queen bed and en-suite bath with a shower/tub combo, and the other guest bedroom has a Queen size bed with access to the guest bathroom with a walk-in shower.
The home comes with a garage (best to keep the golf cart tucked away in here out of the elements) and ample parking for 1 vehicle. There is overflow parking just beside the home if needed.

A short drive to Baytowne sounds like a good surprise! The map definitely gives the impression that Baytowne is further away than it really is, but it is so close and convenient. And with the golf cart, you never have to leave the resort! We hope to see you again soon!

Have you ever waited until the last minute to make vacation accommodation plans? Did your vacation opportunity just become available and you want to see what the current deals are? This is a courtesy feature for you to use to bid on available vacation rentals.
Bidding is only allowed for online customers. Do not call about the bidding process-email only, however you can call our office to see what current discounts are being offered. The discounts will be similar to what an accepted bid is expected to be. The bidding form is not to get a lower discount than what is offered through our office, but a convenient tool to use so you do not have to call in. Remember, not all homes will accept a bid, and sometimes, the discounts that we offers will be more or exactly the same as what a homeowner might accept.
If you are within 5 days...make us a reasonable offer.
Please be courteous and only submit serious bids. Ensure that you read and follow the Last Minute Bidding Rules below, or your bid will be deleted and not considered.
Bidding Process and Policies
- Review the properties using our reservation availability search. Each property listing will have a “Last Minute Bid” Tab on the property page and this is what you will need to complete to be considered for that specific home. Find the home you really want before you make a bid.
- Complete the form fully and honestly, and submit your bid. If not completed, it will not be accepted.
- Only submit a reasonable bid. A ridiculously low offer will not be considered and will be deleted immediately. Examples of considered bids will be 10% Off the advertised rate. 3 Nights for the rate of only 2. 15% off a 3 night stay, $150 off the advertised rate…for example. Be smart, you know what a too low bid would be.
- Our Rental Staff will contact the property owner to determine if your offer is acceptable or if a counter offer shall be made by the owner, then we will contact you immediately with the result. If the bid is thrown out due to a low offer, you will not get a follow up.
- When your bid is accepted, you will be required to pay for the lodging in full via credit card (Visa, MasterCard, Discover) and execute our standard lodging agreement within the next 90 minutes. Failure to do so will void your accepted bid, and we will not resubmit for approval. Remember, if someone books before you confirm it, your offer is also VOID.
- Your right to the vacation property cannot be assigned or re-sold. Please carefully review our occupancy guidelines as this is your responsibility.
- Our standard processing fee, Accidental Damage Protection Plan, and taxes will be added to the agreed upon bid submitted below. No exceptions.
- A non-response after 24 hours shall deem the bid to have been unacceptable to the property owner, or thrown out due to an unrealistic offer, so please continue looking for a rental.
- We will only accept the first bid submitted in a given day per person/email address, so only 1 BID ALLOWED. If you bid on multiple homes, all bids will be thrown out. If your first bid is accepted, you will not be permitted to make additional bids unless you are looking at booking multiple homes or a different date.
- Please remember bidding is only allowed on properties within 5 days of arrival and only allowed for one home at a time. Bids that are outside of that 5 day window will be ignored and deleted, as will unrealistic bids.
- Please review the policies and procedures put forth and do not make a bid unless you agree to all terms.
