Relaxing family getaway

Port A has been our son’s family traditional summer getaway for 13 years. This year they wanted us to make the 2100 mile trip to TX to go with them. It was great to finally see “their spot” and they were excited to show us around. They have stayed in many places over the years, and said that “Our Happy Place” was a great selection ! It was the perfect size and layout for Grandma, Grandpa, Mom, Dad, and the 12 & 10 year olds.

Perfect place for our last getaway

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 accommodations were perfect. We decided to have one last escapade before the hustle and bustle of school started and this was just what was needed. The beds were super comfortable and the unit was spacious. The plus was having the golf cart already on site when we checked in. Will definitely use your services again.

Clean and spacious

Nice layout, master on one end and 2 bedrooms on the other end, great for teenage kids. Very nice beach decorations and furniture. It's a very short drive to the beach. No views from the unit, you see the parking lot from the front and a fence from the back. But if you are at the beach all day it's not that big of a deal.

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 group of 6 adults had a blast. Plenty of room for all of us, never felt squished or on top of each other. The house has been beautifully decorated. The pool was nice and we were not far from the beach. All the beds were extremely comfortable and we found cards in the drawer under the table, which was awesome because I had forgotten mine! When we come back to Port A we would definitely stay here again!

Great place to stay!

We were very happy with the property and would return again. It was very spacious and was able to accommodate us all very comfortably. The only issue we ran into was that the hot water was a little finicky--once we figured out how to use the tankless water heater (by running the tub and both sinks on "hot" along with the hot shower to get it to run hot), it finally worked :-) Perhaps having some instructions posted in the bathroom would be helpful for the next tenant. Thank you for the opportunity to visit the beach and make some incredible memories! <3

Good location But Some Property Issues

The decor is well done and looks just as shown in the pictures online. The floor plan is very practical and it is really nice being on the first floor. Having two refrigerators was a huge bonus and much appreciated! Unfortunately, cleanliness was a slight problem. The floor didn’t appear to have been mopped well, as my socks were black from walking around the house. I found a ball of hair on the floor in the master closet and the master shower door was really dirty with soap scum. The white linens on the master bed were also stained. There was a bag of trash sitting on the grill as well. The cookware in the kitchen is extremely cheap and in desperate need of replacing. Be sure and pack everything you need in the kitchen. There wasn’t even salt or a set of basic measuring cups. However, the most frustrating part was the wifi connectivity. We had trouble streaming anything and couldn’t even use our phones. I eventually contacted the property manager. She was friendly but not helpful and told us to go to a restaurant to watch the Olympics. She did send a tech out 24 hours later and he did not do much. Given how much we spent, I had much higher expectations and left a little disappointed. I will not stay at this property again.

We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the decor and practical floor plan, as well as the convenience of the two refrigerators. We understand how important these aspects are to our guests, and we're glad they met your expectations. We take pride in maintaining a spotless environment, and it is clear we missed the mark during your stay. Floors can sometimes accumulate residue from cleaning products, especially in high-traffic areas, but rest assured, they undergo a thorough stripping and deep clean during the low season to prevent such issues. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the kitchenware and lack of basic supplies. We will discuss this with the owner and take steps to upgrade the kitchen items so future guests have everything they need for a comfortable stay. Regarding the Wi-Fi connectivity, we understand how crucial it is to stay connected, especially during important events like the Olympics. Being on the island, internet service can indeed be hit or miss, particularly during busy periods. We are working closely with our service provider to improve the reliability of our internet connection. Your experience is important to us, and we deeply regret that we fell short during your stay. We hope you will give us another opportunity to provide you with a more enjoyable experience in the future. Warm regards, Life in Paradise Team

We stayed here with our family of 5 and my parents. The kitchen is stocked with dishes and appliances. Also provided was dish scrubber and dish washer pods. We brought our own pantry items and laundry pods. It was the perfect location too. Very close to shops and beach. Looks just like the pictures and was very clean. Would definitely stay here again.

We stayed during Easter weekend and had a very pleasant stay. The property manager made online check-in super easy. The condo was clean and even the neighbors are very welcoming.

Sandfest weekend

We enjoyed our stay at the Blue Heron Condo Port Aransas. Our place was very clean, quiet, and had an awesome view of the sunrise. We were happy BHC accepted pets as they enjoyed the long rides on the beach. We highly recommend BHC to anyone looking for a very nice place, low key, but just minutes away from the main entertainment and just blocks from the beach. We highly recommend the golf cart rental as the community is golf cart friendly. Can't wait to go back.
