This house was adorable and screamed “beach” the moment you walk in! It was clean and in a great location. The windows overlooking the pond was a joy to wake up to. It was a little chilly on the beach over Spring Break, so the location of the pool between the houses was nice to have so we could still be in the sun but have a wind block.We visit Port A often and this one will remain on the top of my list for future stays!

Great Stay in Port A!

We had a great stay at this property. The house was well stocked and conveniently located. The property management company was super attentive and went above and beyond to make sure we had a pleasant stay. They even provided a shuttle service, free of charge, to get us to and from the beach since vehicular access was prohibited on 4th of July weekend due to COVID!

Why Knot Relax--Family Vacation

Our family of 9 had the best time in Port Aransas from early morning walks to exploring the beach and having tons of fun in the private swimming pool, riding around the island on golf carts, eating snowcones and ice cream treats in the afternoons and then coming back to the beautiful and relaxing house to relax and enjoy being together as a family. We loved the house and all of it amenities and will look forward to booking it again.

Impressive Property!

Our family stayed here for 5 days during Spring Break and we were so happy with the accommodations - everything was clean and comfortable. It is close to the beach and there is even a Texan store close by to visit for everyday items. The kitchen and bedrooms are spacious; one of the bedrooms has 4 bunk beds. The private pool downstairs is very nice, but if you want it heated, be prepared to pay 100/day for that feature. The outdoor area is downstairs underneath the main structure and includes a grill and a flat screen TV if you prefer to be outside. Loved our stay!!
