🤠5 THINGS TO ADD TO YOUR @RODEOHOUSTON BUCKET L 🤠5 THINGS TO ADD TO YOUR @RODEOHOUSTON BUCKET LIST 
1) 📸ALL THE PHOTO OPS - If you didn’t get a photo with the rodeo sign did you even go to the rodeo? Take advantage of all the photo ops including the Ferris wheels!
2) 🎡THE CARNIVAL & FOOD - It’s time to use that carnival pack and get on some rides, play some games, and eat all the fried food. 
3) 🍷THE WINE GARDEN - Enjoy live music with a glass or bottle of wine. Here’s my little secret, the pizza at the wine garden is my favorite! If you are facing the entrance to the wine garden the booth is on your left. 
4) 🛍️SHOPPING - Because you need a cute outfit for your photos! Shop for some new boots at Lucchese, or a cute outfit at Gina Tees and so much more at over 300+ vendors.
5) 💃THE HIDEOUT - Dance the night away at the Rodeo’s very own honky tonk, The Hideout! Enjoy live music daily right after the concerts!

Located right at the border, 2.5 hours from San Antonio & Corpus Christi, and under 5hrs from Houston is Laredo! Visit for the food, the arts, and the blend of Mexican and American cultures. Thanks for inviting me to @visitlaredotx
1️⃣ EAT - Being so close to the border, it’s no secret the Mexican food is going to be good! My favorites were the al pastor tacos from Taquitos Ravi and breakfast tacos from La Reynera Bakery & Restaurant.
2️⃣ GO ON A COFFEE TOUR - Support the local coffee shops like @caferadicaltx or @gloriascoffeebar and after two stamps stop by the Visit Laredo office for a free souvenir.
3️⃣ STROLL THROUGH THE HISTORIC DOWNTOWN - Step back in time at the San Agustin Historic District, the oldest section of Laredo. Stop by the San Agustin Church, a Gothic structure with a five-story- 141ft bell/clock tower, or the Plaza Theatre building, the only remaining example of the Art Modern style in Laredo!
4️⃣ VISIT LAKE CASA BLANCA INTERNATIONAL STATE PARK - Fish, swim, kayak, water ski, boat, hike, walk, and visit the old museum to see the ruins of Casa Blanca, the original Texas White House. @lakecasablancastatepark 
5️⃣ CROSS THE BORDER INTO MEXICO - walk or drive across the border and spend a day in Nuevo Laredo. Fun fact: Laredo is home to one of the oldest crossing borders along the Mexico-US border.

Texas + Beyond

Lively Beach in Corpus Christi

September 30, 2020      Leave a Comment

Lively Beach in Mustang Island

Lively Beach Entrance

Looking to explore the Texas Coast? Lively Beach is a new resort condo located on Mustang Island in Corpus Christi, Texas. Lively Beach is located about 3.5 hrs from Houston and Austin, and 2 hrs from San Antonio. Use our code EST for 5% off the best available rate on your booking.

Recently opened in 2020, Lively Beach consists of resort style 1-2 bedrooms condominiums. There is a resort style pool, direct beach access to a white sand beach, pet friendly rooms, and a rooftop patio to watch the sunset.

The entrance to the resort is gated for security purposes. Checking in was completely contactless, we received an email with the gate and door codes as each unit has a keypad on the door for entry. Although everything was contactless, it was still easy to contact the front desk if we needed anything. 

Disclosure: We were hosted by Lively Beach but recommend them and in no way allow this to impact our views. All opinions are our own.

We really enjoyed these views from our  living room and the couches were so comfortable to watch TV.

The Rooms

There are 1-2 beds with 1-3 baths units available. All rooms have a full kitchen or an efficiency kitchen with all the cookware, and dining ware needed. They really made this resort to where you don’t have to leave for anything!

The bathroom has everything you need from a hair dryer, steamer, shampoo, conditioner, body wash and even a makeup remover towel and a close up mirror for makeup!

The closet space was just perfect enough to hang clothes and the doors had full length mirrors.

We loved waking up to these views from our room and the beds were so comfortable.

If you walk a couple of minutes down the beautiful scenic boardwalk you will walk directly to the beach.

The beach has white sand and the water was a little cool but perfect for the Texas heat. The beach was more secluded and not many people were around.

Beware there are tons of mosquitoes, so do not forget the bug spray!

Lively Beach Pool Mustang Island

Private pool

If you get tired of the beach, then you can hang out by the pool. It is only a few steps from your room. There are seats, chaises and tables if you just want to relax with your friends or get a nice tan!

Cooking/Places to eat nearby

There are full kitchens, or efficiency kitchens in your room so you are able to cook in your room. There are also grills just a couple of steps away from your room near the boardwalk area. You could even have lunch on some of the tables at the boardwalk, or have dinner on their rooftop patio.

We hadn’t bought groceries so we ordered takeout from these spots which were all only about 5 minutes away from the resort. Honestly, we did not have one bad experience and really enjoyed all these restaurants. Below are some of the restaurants that we tried.

1.) Island Joes Coffee– Such a cute place inside shipping containers. We tried their biscuits, kolaches and cinammon rolls and recommend it all. We actually stopped here twice for breakfast!

2.) Padre Island Burger Company – Burgers were classic and pretty good.

3.) Padre Poke –  James loves poke and he really enjoyed this place.

4.) Padre Pizzeria – I got a classic pepperoni pizza and it was so good, the bread was different but delicious.

5.) La Isla – We tried their barbacoa and al pastor tacos and they were delicious!

To recap, if you are looking for the perfect social distance getaway at the beach with beautiful white sands check out Lively Beach. This was actually our first time in Corpus Christi and we really think Lively Beach is perfect for family getaways or a relaxing vacation. Don’t forget to use our code EST for 5% off the best available rate on your booking.
