Living on the Ocean, most houses are built off the ground because of Hurricanes.
This one is one of the best examples we have seen..and then
All of the AC units have to be raised because of water blowing inland , these units are at least 15-20 feet off the ground on side of house. The Docks are always long but you do not have to take them in and out of the water like on Lake Fenton.
Port Isabel has a nice Marina where you can see the fleet of Shrimp boats and if your lucky there will be tug boats pushing their loads ,..
and then there is the rust...
The pavilions at the park are good for sitting in the shade and look so nice,
but then add salt air and you have the rust....There is a new development on hwy 100 in Laguna Vista [on the main land] with this very pretty common area. The walkways have shells embedded in the cement, benches to sit on and great views .
Again the rust. This waste container is 3 years old. [can you say plastic]
Walking across the building lots with fantastic views of South Padre Island and the Causeway we dream of what kind of house we could build and decide to come back at night to view the lights.
And the downside here well,,,
As anywhere else , things are not always as first impressions would lead you to believe..A great place to visit but think cement or plastic before you build..Talking to some local people we find they trade cars often or lease.
Photos added for no special reason.. Long horn Cattle are fun to watch moving through the trees and brush, seems so easy even with the "long horns".
The Woodpecker wakes me up from across the street..
