After Puerto Del Sol didn’t have any openings, I found Sea Breeze RV Park and Resort. It was closer to my apartment than Puerto Del Sol so it was easier to commute back and forth to clean out my apartment.

I moved in the first day I had my RV. When I pulled up, I was a little confused at where the check in was, but that was because the office looked like a little house. It had a porch that wrapped around two sides of the house and the landscaping around the office was decorated with lots of yard ornaments. I didn’t see any gnomes, but lots of little ceramic and wooden animals, decorative flags, those glass yard orbs and even a little covered wagon. The whole place is so cute and homey – very reminiscent of the yards and barns around my grandmother’s house.

I got a pull through spot, which was nice because it was easy to get into the site. I was right across from the laundry rooms. A short walk from my site was Nueces Bay. It was a really nice walk that circled a little inlet complete with an island where birds would hang out, a fishing pier and dog park. I don’t really fish, but it looked like it would be comfortable. I have cats so I didn’t have any use for the dog park.

I spent the first week and a half moving my things from my old apartment to the RV. It took longer than it should have because I got a little lazy, but my sister helped me get back on track.

I became a little obsessed with checking how full my tanks were. Every time I left the bathroom, I would check the levels, so I emptied my tanks pretty timely.

My kitchen is just like my kitchen in my apartment, except no dishwasher, but I’ve never really minded doing the dishes. And I missed having a gas stove like I had before I moved into an apartment. I haven’t used my oven yet. I have to light the pilot when I want to cook something in the oven and It makes me a little nervous.

I wanted to stay until the end of February and ended up having to move sites at the beginning of the month. I was in the pull through area and had to move to the area they called the valley. It took about an hour to break down the RV and move it. I unhooked the sewer and water hoses, moved in the room slides and unplugged the RV from shore power. Since we weren’t going far I put all the cats in the bedroom and shut the door and bungee corded Ande’s cage in so it wouldn’t roll and drove over to the new site. My car still wasn’t able to be towed so I walked back over and got it, then set camp back up.

When I opened the bedroom back up, I could only see two cats because one was hiding under the bed spread. It was the first time they had been in the RV with it moving. All the animals seemed to have adjusted okay otherwise. Ande seems to like the new envirnoment and his ability to get closer to me, even when he has to stay in the cage. Creepers and Mo like sitting on the dashboard and sleeping in the driver’s and passenger’s chairs. Salem took a little longer to settle in, she spent the first week of the move in the bedroom.

Although I did have some problems with the cats. Creepers has always liked to try to get outside, even though she is afraid of strangers, and she continues to try now. She was successful once when I was trying to do the laundry. She went out under my feet and got under the RV. She was exploring and wanted to climb up under the RV. I had to go under, pull her out and take her back in.

Because of Creepers, I had to “baby” proof the stove. I came home one night to my LP alarm going off. It took me a few minutes to figure out what it was, because I’d never had it go off before. But once I found it and silenced it (really muted it) I couldn’t figure out why it was going off. I turned off the propane and aired out the RV. I took off the monitor and it looked like the monitor was about six years old. I Googled and it said another reason the monitor could be going off was if it was nearing the end of its life. I turned off the monitor and turned the propane back on. I turned the stove on to make sure I hadit back on correctly. I only lit one burner, but two lit. I came home a few nights later to the same, but saw how it happened. Creepers hit the burner knob with her foot. I used some cap erasers to stuff under the knobs until I could get some stove knob caps from Target.

As obsessed as I was about checking my black and gray tank levels, I paid no attention to my propane levels. It was completely empty before I noticed. Luckily I still had access to my apartment and a hot shower. But I still had no heat in early February. The propane company for the park delivered on Thursdays and my tank went out on Sunday. There was one night it got down in the 30s. I gave Ande another blanket, gave myself another blanket and three cats cuddled up next to me. And two of them run very hot, so we survived!

I really like this place, I’m here for another week. I wouldn’t mind staying longer, but the rent seems higher than what I remember being quoted on the website. Its completely worth it, its a great place, great location, has great ammenities and the staff is so nice and acccomadating. Just more than I expected.
