About Lyn Christoph

My husband and I moved to the country, next to Lake Corpus Christi, in 2007 to raise alpacas. Our farm is called Gulf Breeze Alpaca Ranch (GBAR) and is home to 37 alpacas, 4 sheep, a handful of heritage turkeys, chickens, an angora rabbit, a parrot, 5 Livestock Guardian Dogs (Great Pyrenese) a Border Collie, a Jack Russell, a Terrier Mix, a Chihuahua, 2 cats and a family of 4 humans! We built a fiber arts studio/office/shopon part of the property (31 acres) and I enjoy working with my alpaca and sheep fiber. I prepare most of my fiber myself, from shearing it off the animal to washing, carding and then spinning it into yarn. We have started giving school tours now.

Lyn Christoph purchased this house in 2000
Why Lyn Christoph chose Corpus Christi

This house has been in my family since it was built in 1956. It holds a lot of memories! When my husband and I decided to move to the country I couldn't bring myself to part with it so I listed it on VRBO and started renting it to vacationing families. I took it off the listing so that my daughter could stay there for a while.

It's been nearly 2 years now and I'm happy to open the house once again to families looking for a safe home away from home.

There are so many things you can do from this location. The Gulf of Mexico is 20 miles to the South, while the Aranasas Wildlife Refuge is about 45 miles to the north, as is the city of Rockport, a hub for artists! Lake Corpus Christi (our stomping grounds) is 45 miles to the northwest.

What makes this house unique

Dolphin House, as we call it, is located in one of the city's most desirable, established neighborhoods in what is called the 'central corridor' of the city. It is close to shopping centers, restaurants, hospitals and the downtown and Marina areas.

We have a fig vine that has been growing along the fences behind us and along side of us for so many years that none of our neighbors wants to be the one that cuts it! It provides the most wonderfully wild and private area to sunbathe and swim in our pool. The house is located in the middle of the street, which curves slightly just in front of the house. The streed is wide, and while most of the neighbors park in their driveways, the street is wide enough to park on both sides and still have room for cars to pass between.

The bayfront (Corpus Christi Bay) is only 3 blocks from the house and is a popular route for walkers and bikers, as is Center Street, that runs along the center of the addition. There is a lovely shopping center at the end of Center Drive with a restaurant where many of our neighbors can be seen dining.

We had rented the dolphin house during the memorial weekend. It turned out to be one of the best decisions for we had a truly wonderful time. The house is very well planned out and has all the comforts one would expect. It takes care of all our needs, from adequate toiletries to ample cutlery. Moreover, it is located in a peaceful neighbourhood within walking distance to the sea coast. We hope that we get to enjoy dolphin house once again.

Submitted: September 10, 2012 Stayed: July 2009
Arrived on Tuesday evening and felt right at home from the moment we arrived. Rooms were spacious and offered all that we really required and then some. Enjoyed the a/c since it was so hot outside, computer did not work fast at first and the printer did not print but upon calling this to the property owner, it was taken care of immediately and the worker, Leah, even took our family to the shopping mall so that we would not get lost. There were 6 of us staying there and we all were able to rest comfortably and enjoy ourselves so much we looked forwared in arriving back from our trips away to just unwind and rest. The swimming pool we really enjoyed since none of us swim well. It was Soooo refreshing! My niece suffers from fibromyalgia and she found it sooo comforting to have a heating pad available for her sore muscles and body aches. All the other small amenitites, condiments, salt/pepper, iron/ironing board, hair drying, washer/dryer, extra beach towels, detergent, soap, toilet paper. We just needed to purchase our food supplies while there and we stayed for almost a full week. Family had a GREAT time there! The list of restaurants was helpful and residence close to grocery store for fast trips. Owner was quite helpful and offered much input for our stay in Corpus. Would stay there again if family returns.
