"I haven't been everywhere, but it's on my list."
Waterfront Paradise
Whether you're after a relaxing vacation, a serious fishing trip, or a weekend of coastal festivals — our home on Oso Bay puts the best of Corpus Christi at your back door. Cast a line from the yard, then take a quick ten-minute drive to the beach before coming home to a glass of wine as the sun melts into the water.
Explore Corpus Christi
We've stayed, eaten and fished our way through the coast. These are the spots we send every guest to.

Miles of soft Gulf sand ten minutes from the door. Surfers, shells and shoreline sunsets.

Fresh seafood, bayfront patios and Texas BBQ — all within a short drive.

From Sandfest to Mardi Gras, the Corpus Christi calendar is alive year-round.
House tour
Real photos of 1350 Sandpiper, grouped room by room.
Gallery
Every photo is labelled: 1350 Sandpiper means the property itself, Local scenery means Oso Bay and the surrounding coast, and Charter fishing photos name the charter company and the fish they target. Photos of the house itself are coming soon.
Pool & Hot Tub
Swim in the afternoon, soak at sunset. The private pool and hot tub sit on the waterfront side of 1350 Sandpiper, so you never lose the Oso Bay view.
Private pool
Fenced, private and steps from the water. Loungers, shade and room for the whole group.
Hot tub
Open year-round. Best after a day on the bay — or under the stars once the wind lays down.
Pool heating (winter only)
Optional September 1 – February 28 at $55 per night, added for the entire stay. One week's notice required so it's warm on arrival. March–August the pool is comfortable on its own.
Guest Experiences
Not a list of attractions — the days our guests actually come back for.
Coffee on the deck at 6am, waders on by 6:30. The redfish tail in ankle-deep grass before the wind picks up — the single best hour of the day on Oso Bay.
Year-round · best Mar–Nov
A local captain runs you to the back lakes and spoil islands for trout and reds. We'll connect you with guides we actually fish with — book about a week out.
Half day · 4–6 hrs
Free ferry across the ship channel with dolphins riding alongside, then a beach town afternoon — fish tacos, a walk on the jetty, ice cream on the way back.
45 min each way
Clean your catch at the outdoor station, fire up the grill, and eat what you caught while the sun drops behind the causeway. Bring foil, butter and lemon.
Every night you get lucky
Launch a kayak straight from the shoreline and work the marsh edges. Herons, spoonbills and, if you're patient, a redfish pushing a wake ten feet away.
Calm mornings
The Texas State Aquarium and the USS Lexington fill a wet day easily, and Water Street Oyster Bar is the right way to end it.

Catch of the day on a Gulf of Mexico charter — red snapper, king mackerel and mahi-mahi. Booked through Deep Sea Headquarters, Port Aransas (4.5★).Fishing at its Best
Bring your waders, kayak, or just a pole and a folding chair. The backyard of 1350 Sandpiper opens to some of the best speckled trout water on the coast. For trophy fish, these highly rated captains are a short ride away — bay guides for redfish and trout, Port Aransas fleets for offshore snapper and tuna.

Booking terms
Clear, simple terms so you know exactly where you stand. Refund windows are counted from your check-in date.
Our promise first
We sit on the Gulf Coast, and hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30. If a mandatory emergency evacuation order is issued by Nueces County or the City of Corpus Christi covering any night of your stay, or a named storm makes landfall in the Coastal Bend during your dates, you receive a full refund or a full-value credit — your choice, regardless of how close to check-in it happens.
This guarantee applies to declared emergency evacuations and named-storm landfall only. Ordinary rain, wind, cold fronts, rough seas, poor fishing conditions or a voluntary decision not to travel are not covered — the standard windows below apply. We strongly recommend travel insurance for everything else.
60+ days before check-in
100% refundCancel two months or more ahead and you receive a full refund of everything paid. For long-term stays, the non-refundable deposit is retained.
31–59 days before check-in
50% refundHalf of the total stay cost is refunded — or take the full amount as a rebooking credit instead. Your choice, one or the other.
16–30 days before check-in
25% refundA quarter of the total stay cost is refunded — or take the full amount as a rebooking credit instead. Your choice, one or the other.
15 days or less
No refundInside 15 days the dates are held exclusively for you and can no longer be rebooked, so payments are non-refundable.
In the 31–59 and 16–30 day windows you may take the partial refund or a rebooking credit for the full amount paid — one or the other, not both — and any credit must be used for a stay that both begins and ends within the same calendar year as the original check-in date, with one move per booking subject to availability, rebooked at least 14 days in advance, and no cash value or extension into the following year.
Refund windows are calculated from 4:00 PM Central on your check-in date. Refunds are returned to the original payment method within 5–10 business days. Long-term stays (September 1 – February 28, 30-night minimum) require 60 days' notice for any change to the departure date.
