55 yr reunion
We really enjoyed the stay. The house was nice. Had problems with the internet and tv, but that was more the Indian than the arrow. Finally figured everything out. I had on a boot because of an Achilles tear. The walk from the carport to the house was difficult. I would recommend a walkway, paving stones, or the like.

My family is from Palacios and we have stayed at several homes there and this is by far the best home we have stayed in. My mother passed away on Monday morning and we decided to still go to Palacios and celebrate her. I will definitely be staying here again. The property was fully furnished. Plenty of towels, kitchen essentials and games for the kids. Not to mention the cable was a plus.

Great, comfortable place to stay
Came for a brief family visit & it was just what we were looking for. Clean, spacious! Loved that the bedrooms were on opposite sides of the house so everyone had their privacy. Quick walk to the water & had enjoyed feeding the outside cats 😊

Fair Winds Bungalow
The house was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped. The large front porch provided a nice place to sit, visit and view the bay. Palacios is a very small town and super quiet in the evenings. Fair Winds is perfect for visiting with family and friends and relaxing.

Such a beautiful house with everything you need! Everything was clean and fresh, the beds and linens were so soft, over abundance of towels and supplies. I have nothing negative to say! We comfortably enjoyed our stay, and will definitely be back!
