Wonderful and friendly host, beautiful, impeccably-maintained, and well stocked home. Get your fishing license, read up on crabbing laws, and have fun! We found sea glass, decent-sized male crabs, and caught a flounder.

Our Texas family loved our stay at Hays Beach hideaway! The house was perfect and had everything we could possibly need. Just a short walk (60 seconds) to the beach and we were crabbing and enjoying the most beautiful sunrises I’ve ever seen! Owner was very responsive and offered information about the area. Family enjoyed the bicycles, yard games, beach supplies, crab equipment, kayaks, and very comfortable beds. Home was very nicely decorated inside and out and clean and comfortable. A most enjoyable stay we will be back!

We had a fantastic stay at the Hideaway in Hays Beach. We were coming up to see our 93yr old Grandmother who lives about 45 minutes away. Our families rented two homes in the area and were able to enjoy our time with three generations that aren’t able to see each other often. The home was exactly as shown, perfectly decorated and incredibly well stocked! We’d absolutely come back!

We had a great vacation at Hideaway! The house is so cozy and beautifully decorated. It was clean and fully stocked with supplies. There are so many amenities that we didn’t have time to use them all! (Kayaks, paddle board, game shed, crabbing, fire pits, pizza oven…) The owners have thought of everything you’d need or want, plus more! We loved the quiet beach and how close it is to the house. We can’t wait to return again!

the house was perfect! Jocelyn was a terrific host. She provided a welcome basket with cookies, materials for Smores. there are games, activities, beach toys, even bikes! The kitchen and entire house are well-appointed with absolutely everything you mighty need for a nice stay. Adorable interior decorating. Everything from bath towels to cookware are quite nice! The location is peaceful and quiet but you can hear the waves on the water from the open windows. Backyard had everything needed for family entertaining. We will definitely come back! Check in and check out were easy and flexible processes.
