Why Corpus Christi for the winter

Coastal Texas winters sit in the 60s and 70s most days, the humidity drops, and the wind lays down through fall. You get bay water at your back door instead of a snow shovel, and you are inside city limits — grocery stores, medical care and the airport are minutes away, not an hour.

A house, not a condo box

1350 Sandpiper is a waterfront home on Oso Bay with a private pool and hot tub, a full kitchen, laundry, and a bulkhead you can fish from with a cup of coffee in your other hand. There are no shared hallways, no elevator, and no resort crowd.

Fishing all winter

Winter is the trophy trout season on the Texas coast — fewer fish, bigger ones, and almost no boat traffic. Fish the bulkhead behind the house or run to the flats. Our fishing guide covers seasonal patterns, baits and tides.

What the month includes

The full house, private pool and hot tub, waterfront access, and direct contact with the owners for anything you need. Optional pool heating is $55 per night for the whole stay with a week's notice.

How payment works

Your $500 deposit, the $299 exit cleaning fee and the first month's rent of $4,995 are all due at booking. Each following 30-day period is paid the month it begins, so you are never fronting the whole season.

Common questions

Can I stay less than a month in winter?
September 1 – February 28 is long-term only, with a 30-night minimum. Short stays of three nights or more run March 1 – August 31.
Do I pay Texas hotel tax?
No. Stays of 30 nights or more are exempt from the 6% state and 9% city hotel occupancy tax, which is a meaningful saving over a monthly hotel or short-term stay.
Is the pool usable in December?
With heating on, yes — $55 per night for the whole stay, ordered a week ahead. The hot tub is available year-round.
