Food scene
This cute and unique little spot won't disappoint. The owner is a sweet lovely retiree who once was a corporate lawyer. She does this just to enjoy the company of the community and makes a fantastic cup of Joe!

Need some Kombucha? This quaint little country grocery store has it all. You can find souvenirs, toys for the kids, a full hardware store, and all the beach supplies you can imagine. And when everyone else might be closed, This Big Store is always there for you. Often even on holidays. And the pizza deli is pretty good too!!!

Great bay views with tasty gulf coast cuisine... lots of fresh seafood. Particularly love the greek style red snapper, but you can't go wrong with any of their options. Can be a long wait, so make sure to be intentional about arriving early or not going at the busiest times.

Great open air bar with some tasty greasy spoon food, is one of the closer options to the property as well. There fish and shrimp tacos were a crowd pleaser. Lines can be moderate, so just prep for a wait during busy windows.

Food trucks are increasing the options on peninsula and this spot has a lot of good choices. The burgers are huge, but just about everything we've tried is solid and plentiful. They also have great coffee if you aren't in the mood for a home brewed cup. Give it a shot, they are pretty quick to prep and the drive is short to and from the house.

Groceries and Supplies
Just a Dollar General, but ultra convenient because they have anything you need to supply your vacation trip. And it's an 8 min drive down the main road... be sure to stop in to take a quick peek. Sand toys, coffee, beach supplies, and so much more are readily available.

If you're taking the ferry to property, this is the number to check the wait time. (409) 795-2230
There is also an option to take i-10 to Winnie from the Houston area. This makes for a more secure time commitment, but doesn't have the same views as the ferry ride.
