Overview

§ 01

Welcome to Sunny Shores Beachfront Villa. This beautiful 4-bed, 3-bath beachfront home with direct beach access and is a Thompson Craftsman Custom Home, built by one of the premium Peninsula builders who has since retired. Currently a successful short-term rental, it conveys fully furnished—including the private hot tub—perfect as a primary residence, second home, or income-producing vacation rental. Enjoy unobstructed ocean views, expansive decks for sunrises and sunsets, a fire pit, and easy steps to the sand. The bright, open layout is ideal for entertaining while soaking in the quieter coastal lifestyle of the east end of the Bolivar Peninsula. A major highlight is the brand-new 1,000-foot lighted, accessible fishing pier at the former Rollover Pass, just ½ mile away, with bait shop, fish cleaning station, parking, and dune walkover. Nearby are boat ramps and the peaceful Gulf shores of Gilchrist. Don’t miss this turnkey beachfront opportunity in a highly desirable location

MUD Disclosure (§49.452)

§ 03 · Data moat
● §49.452 Notice
Not in archive
This MUD is not yet in our §49.452 archive. We'll add it on request.

Texas Water Code §49.452 requires districts to publish annual notices with tax rate, bonded indebtedness, and assessed value. Most Harris-area MUDs publish these; a handful managed by Inframark do not.

Request this notice
● What this tells you

The §49.452 notice is the only public document that lists a MUD's exact tax rate, outstanding bond debt, and the assessed value used to compute your taxes — direct from the district, not the MLS. If the district is newer or has more bonds outstanding than its neighbors, your effective tax rate will be higher here than just across the street.
