After the destination, the most important part of a vacation lies in the rentals you choose to make your own during your stay, and during your upcoming getaway to Mustang Island, you may be worried that you don’t know what would qualify as the right vacation rental. Fortunately, you found your way to On Island Time, and we will never let you down. To help make your search even easier, we have created this guide on how to choose the right Mustang Island vacation rental, showing you all the ways our properties are certain to be the only ones you will ever want to consider.
Location, Location, Location
Everyone knows that the three things that matter most about a property is “location, location, location,” and on Mustang Island, that obviously means your vacation rental should be on the beach! Yes, you should probably decide on the size, maybe how many bathrooms you want, but when it comes to a beach vacation, your rental should absolutely be resting on shore’s edge, making this, in our minds, the most important feature of all.
Whether you have enjoyed a vacation at the beach many times before or this is your first time, there is serenity and joy that can only be found while relaxing on balconies or decks that overlook the water. You can feel the salt air breezes kissing your cheeks, hear the roar of the sea as waves crash against the sand, and as you sit with a frosty margarita in hand, you will know that life just doesn’t get any better.
Budget
Although your Mustang Island retreat is designed to be an integral part of your vacation experience, just as in real life, you don’t want to blow all your budget on housing. You want to be able to experience all that this part of Texas has to offer, so it is important that you determine your budget and how much you will need to live well while still being able to enjoy unlimited explorations.
This can be done by perhaps choosing a rental with fewer bedrooms or choosing one that may still offer sea views, but the views are a little further off in the distance. Choosing On Island Time, of course, is the best way to ensure that your housing choices are budget friendly while still providing the little luxuries that just make vacation life even better.
Now, Let’s Talk Amenities
We all have an idea of the amenities we need to feel comfortable while traveling, and generally an onsite pool and/or hot tub is at the top of the list. (Yes, you guessed it! Our Mustang Island rentals offer both!) Not everyone wants to swim in the Gulf waters that many creatures call home, and a lazy day spent sipping cocktails poolside or soaking achy muscles in a hot tub can often be a highlight of your vacation that you will never forget.
Other important amenities include free Wi-Fi, state-of-the-art televisions, and although they aren’t exciting, laundry rooms that will allow guests to pack light and save room for souvenirs on their return trip. You may also want to look for shelves stacked with books, games, and movies, or you may seek a rental with a closet stocked with beach chairs, umbrellas, even wagons to help lug all the supplies across the sand, and yes, we offer all of the above.
The Large Details
Another way you can save money while vacationing is by choosing properties with fully equipped kitchens, and if you are searching for a more luxurious space, perhaps a kitchen equipped with high-end appliances, stone counters, and custom cabinetry, your search stops with On Island Time. We love to spoil our guests, and because no one likes to do chores while traveling but everyone loves to save money, our kitchens are luxuriously appointed, ensuring that you will have fun while preparing the evening meal.
The Small Details You May Not Notice Unless They Weren’t There
There are some details that not every vacation rental company pays attention to, and even if it is something small like providing wine corkscrews or bottle openers, you would definitely notice if the amenity was missing. We at On Island Time like to imagine that we are staying in our rentals, equipping each space with all the amenities that we seek while traveling, and you will find that we believe all the details are the most important ones. There will be enough dishes, silverware, and glassware for every member of your traveling party, the linens we provide will feel soft against your skin, and we can assure you that televisions will be updated models.
