ARRIVAL

Most people will leave immediately following church on Sunday, but you are welcome to arrive anytime after 4pm on Sunday.

 

DAILY

We will spend Monday and Tuesday hangingout on Brazoria Beach.  Feel free to bring a beach chair, beach blanket, good book, or anything else you might want to make your day more relaxing. We will have 3 canopies that we'll set up each morning to provide some shade. Cars can be driven directly onto this section of beach, so loading and unloading will be a snap.

 

We’ll have a grill and will cook a meal each day for lunch. We'll also have an ice chest to keep drinks cold.

 

The house is a quick 4 minute walk away from the beach, so everyone can come and go as they please.

 

DEPARTURE

Checkout time is 10am.

We'll be staying in "Beach View Paradise" with beautiful views of the gulf from the multiple balconies. Check out the house HERE.

ACCOMODATIONS

COST

ROOMS

The cost for each room is $375. You are then welcome to have as many as 5 people stay in the room. If you don't want to pay for an entire room, you are able to register for 1/4 or 1/2 room. We will then pair up people to share rooms that have been partially reserved.


MEALS

The cost for meals is $60 per person. (This is in addition to the room cost.)

 

SO MANY OPTIONS!

If sharing space with 15-20 people is not your thing, you are welcome to arrange your own lodging and just pay for meals. Or, you can even do your own thing, including your meals, and just come join us on the beach each day!
