This luxurious and private suite is designed to suit all travelers but especially notable for birders and nature enthusiast. The Birds Nest room includes full bath, queen size bed, comfy sitting area and storage. With it's own private entrance separate from the main house, this room offers the utmost in privacy. The room is attached by a large common area to a well appointed 4 bedroom home remodel
ed in 2006. The home has hardwood and satillo tile floors, 3 gorgeous patios, large open windows and beautiful details. We have two other bedrooms in the house and still off of this master patio, please ask if you have a large party. The common area has everything you could possible need for a long or short stay including a fridge and kitchen cupboard for food storage, coffee and tea service, toaster, Forman's grill and more. An ample continental breakfast and other goodies are provided daily. Located in the heart of the McAllen, this full acre property is surrounded by a brick fence making it a lovely oasis in the city. We are birders and our neighborhood is often on the birding festival tours with lots of mature trees and natural habitat. We have a bird condo on the property (essentially a dead palm with holes bored out for birds' nests) that houses innumerable bird species including -- swear it -- a pair of Red-crowned Parrots (seasonal), not Parakeets. My official Backyard Bird Count currently stands at over 30 different species; some of which are South Texas specialities like Green Parakeets, Kiskadee, and Chachalaca. We have a 3" Celestron Telescope that we are happy to share with guest for some close up birding and if you are lucky and we get clear skies, we might be able to do some deep sky observing. Birding festivals are ongoing here; South Texas is the New Birding Mecca. With massive migratory periods. We also have butterfly and dragonfly festivals throughout the year, plus The World Birding Center with excellently managed nature centers too numerous to list. Your host knows them all. Winter is simply stunning here! McAllen is close to South Padre Island, for excellent fishing, kite boarding and more. Many well known ranches in South Texas offer private day trips for phtographers. Our area is a vibrant, growing metro with access to many activities and shopping galore. Don't waste your time looking anywhere else, this is THE PLACE you want to be!
