About the HostHi, we’re Gary and Marianne — longtime Palacios locals passionate about sharing our slice of the Texas coast! We’ve lived and worked here for over 30 years. We cherish the hometown feel, the peaceful pace, and especially our incredible views of Tres Palacios Bay. Several years ago, we renovated a home that had been hit by a hurricane — transforming it into a relaxing coastal getaway filled with beachy colors, breezy vibes, and thoughtful touches. That project sparked a passion, and we've since expanded. We now host three vacation rentals (and counting!) all in an amazing location with full views of Tres Palacios Bay, which leads to the Gulf of Mexico. In 2021, we restored a 1920s, 4,300 sq ft barn — now our fully renovated barndominium, complete with a charming apartment in the back. Each space we create is designed with coastal flair and a deep love for this special place we call home. We live next door and are happy to help if needed — but always give our guests space to relax and enjoy. We hope you love Palacios as much as we do!
🎣 Nearby Fun & Coastal Charm You're just steps away from the best of Palacios! Cast a line from the nearby 24-hour lighted fishing piers, launch your boat, or stroll the scenic 1.5-mile seawall—perfect for walking, jogging, birdwatching, or spotting dolphins. Most of all, the seawall is perfect for a romantic sunset walk, with views of graceful pelicans and countless shorebirds. It’s also a favorite path for runners and anyone who loves an active coastal escape. Families enjoy the splash pad and shaded playgrounds, while antique lovers will appreciate the charming shops downtown. When hunger strikes, indulge in fresh seafood, authentic Vietnamese cuisine, or flavorful Mexican dishes—just minutes away. Palacios is a cozy coastal town with a big heart and true hometown hospitality.
