As advertised

Enjoyed this house! Perfect for our family of five but could fit comfortably a few more. If it wasn’t spring break week I assume beach would have been nice and calm, as it was not too bad! Nice little neighborhood!

Perfect house for our family of 7 in the best neighborhood!!!! Very pleased with the indoor & outdoor living spaces, cleanliness, extras for the kids, neighborhood pool, & location.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our Family does one major beach trip to Port A once a year. We have rented other homes in town, but never outside of town. And when I say "outside of town" I use this phrase lightly. It is actually the perfect distance. The area was quiet, rast access to beach, home was super clean,and driveway is massive. We will rent this home again. We were Super Happy wit this choice.

4th of July Family Fun

This super cute beach house had all the necessities and a little extra. It was nicely decorated with comfy beds and spacious bathrooms. The hammock chairs were perfect for hanging out with a good book after a fun day at the beach.

Loved our beach trip

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. It was our first trip to Port Aransas and we loved the house. It had everything we needed and more than enough room for our family of four. The kids loved the air hockey and it was an easy walk to the beach from the house. Everyone was comfortable and the house was clean and beautiful. We would definitely stay here again!!

Amazing Home Away From Home!

I was highly impressed with this property! The pictures didn’t do it justice! Everything was immaculate and clean! Check in was very easy. They even had cute sunglasses in case you forgot yours! The air hockey table was a hit for the kids! With 6 of us, we didn’t feel cramped or on top of each other because everything was spaced out well. We will definitely return to The Good Life! You will be missing out if you don’t stay here!!

Nice Mustang Beach Vacation House

The house is clean, well maintained and everything you would need for a comfortable stay is on property. The rooms are large and each has a bathroom. The house has two masters and another large room with 4 beds, so it accommodates 6-8 people easily. Each room has a TV and the room with 4 beds also has an air hockey table. The house is a few feet away from the pool and a short walk to access a boardwalk to the beach. The Palmilla Resort, which has a 9-hole golf course and a couple of dining options is a 2 minute drive in one direction and Cinnamon Shores, which also has a couple of dining options, is a 2 minute drive in another direction. We did not rent a golf cart and were happy with that decision.

The only thing is the A/C could not keep up. It stayed at 80 pretty much the whole time we were there.

Great Port A Getaway

The house is perfect- great location, well maintained, spacious. The porches, chairs, basketball goal made for a great outdoor space. Rent a golf cart. The wifi/ internet was a little unreliable- if I had been trying to work remotely, that would have been frustrating. Highly recommend this property.

Quiet vacation home

Access to the beach as well as the community pool is great. House was nice and clean, with many amenities. It can accommodate a family of 5-6 nicely, but common living area could be a bit tight for more than 6 people , especially if all adults.

Beautiful Beach Bungalow

This is a great house to stay at when exploring Port A or Corpus. The bedrooms and bathrooms were large. The neighborhood has a private boardwalk to the beach which is walkable, but I'd recommend renting a golf cart. (several companies on the island will deliver)

The Good Life

My family and I highly recommend The Good Life. Check in was EASY. The home was very accommodating for our family of 7. Well stocked kitchen with all of the spices a gourmet chef would require. Although it is a short walk to the beach, we rented a golf cart from Paradise Rentals. (Whom we also recommend) Would definitely rent this home again in the future.

Just Right!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: "The Good Life" was the perfect house for our annual Port A trip. Not too big, not too was just right! The house was clean and well stocked. Plenty of parking. Beds were comfortable. We had a minor plumbing issue on day one, but the management company was on top of it almost immediately and had the issue resolved in less than an hour. Excellent service! The only irritation came from the climate control being on a timer and automatically changed at certain times of day. Guests are locked out from adjusting the program. I don't need an icebox, but as a hot sleeper, this was an issue at night. Otherwise, great house, great location, great value!

Excellent family getaway spot!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home is perfect for a family getaway! We stayed for 3 nights and can’t wait to return. The home was perfect in every way...super clean, fully stocked, updated, and just beautiful. You can definitely tell the owners value their guests experience. Quick walk to the beach and a binder with all the local places you would ever need from resultants to golf cart rentals. We took advantage of the dolphin tour, parasailing, and rented a golf cart to get around. Neighborhood was safe and quiet, kids loved the provided beach toys, basketball hoop and the air hockey table. There was a clean grill, stocked kitchen with spices and seasonings, cleaning supplies the whole nine plus the outdoor shower that certainly came in handy after the beach. The home and decor were immaculate with awesome picture spots all over the place. Check In/Out was a breeze. Thanks for making our annual family trip the best one yet...we seriously can’t wait to return!!!!!
