"An oasis within an oasis" as quoted by Texas Monthly Magazine. Once in the courtyard, you are surrounded by tropical blooming plants and you can listen to the sounds of the fountain. Lay around the pool and enjoy an afternoon in the tranquility of the courtyard. The beach is just 1/2 block away.

Beautifully appointed rooms with Mexican antique furniture and accessories. Cable TV, phones, central A/C, and small refrigerator. Each morning in the "Cantina" you can enjoy a wonderful up-scale continental breakfast. Private lunches or dinners available for parties of 15 to 30. Many birding areas close by. This is one of the best birding areas in the U.S. We can arrange a private guide for you.

The rooms are configured around a courtyard, which historically provided protected open space & was the location of the community well. Our "well" is a fountain made in Mexico out of a volcanic stone called "cantera". The fountain is hand carved from large blocks of this stone. Each room has a "rosette" style window with hand made stained glass. Each window weighs in at 2000 pounds and is made of molded concrete. The ceilings in your rooms are also of Indigenous Architectural style. The log beams are called Vigas, while the wood between the logs is called "Latillas" The Vigas and Latellas are all Ponderosa pine from New Mexico.

The clay floor tiles, and hand painted bathroom tiles are all from Mexico. The manufacturing process has changed little from the way they were first made. The clay floor tiles are call "Saltillo" tiles and are from Saltillo, Mexico. The bathroom tiles are called talavera tiles, and along with the sinks, are all hand made and painted in Dolores Hidalgo, Mexico.

For the enjoyment of our guests we have a swimming pool and a separate private courtyard. We are located just one block from the beach, and 1 block from the bay. We are convenient to all restaurants, charter fishing, or fishing off the several piers in the area. We are only 25 miles from Matamoros, Mexico and with the new bridge the are few delays getting to or from that city: We feature a beautiful dinning room where our guests can enjoy their complementary continental breakfast. We hope to create a quiet adult retreat, therefore we do not accept children under 12 years of age. The rooms have either 1 king bed or two standard size beds. All rooms have showers, refrigerators, and TV. There are phones in the rooms, for guests to use.

Casa de Siesta is idal for those special events, parties, and business meetings. Our dinning room is available afternoons and evenings for an extra charge.
