| CARRIAGE House Day Spa in Brownsville is a wonderful oasis in a historic section of town. As you enter through the shaded brick courtyard, you are welcomed by a beautifully restored original fountain, surrounded by orange trees, that sets the stage for a pampered and relaxing experience. The spa itself is in an 1800s carriage house transformed with every attention to detail in maintaining its historic quality. The walls are adorned with “before” and “after” pictures of the renovation. (The main house on the property has been renovated as well, in keeping with the historical tradition.) Spa owner Teri Rendón’s bubbly personality lets you know that you are in for a real treat and that you will be well taken care of by her and her very attentive staff. It’s truly a warm and inviting retreat from the hurried world! Travelers in South Texas will find this jewel unlike any other place in the area.
