We had an awesome stay at the Knot too Shabby property! It was not too far from the beach and the house accommodated all of us. Would definitely stay again!

Thank you for the 5 star review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to your next arrival to Port A!
Property was well maintained & had colorful decorations in every room while keeping the laid back beach vibe.It had more than enough room for everyone to enjoy their own space or linger poolside. Also a quick 5 min golf cart ride to get to the beach & close to shopping, restaurants etc Rocking chairs on the porch in the evening was my favorite spot.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! 🌟 We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay and appreciated the colorful decorations and laid-back beach vibe we’ve worked hard to create. Knowing that there was plenty of space for everyone to either relax poolside or enjoy some quiet time makes us smile.
It’s fantastic that you found the location convenient, with quick access to the beach and nearby shopping and dining. And those rocking chairs on the porch? We couldn’t agree more—that’s one of our favorite spots too! There’s truly something magical about unwinding there after a day of fun.
We're so glad we could be part of your memorable getaway. Whenever you’re ready to kick back and soak in those beach vibes again, we’ll be here waiting to welcome you back! 🏖️✨ -Life in Paradise Team
We had another fabulous family vacation in Port A. The Knot Too Shabby house was a superb choice. We didn’t experience any negative issues during our stay.

Hi Jessica, Thank you so much for your 5-star review! We are so pleased that everything met your expectations! We look forward to seeing you again soon! Thanks again, Life in Paradise.
Our family traveled to Port Aransas from Chicago for Spring Break. We were looking for a private house with private pool for Covid safety, and we really enjoyed our time in this home. The interior offered the perfect and well appointed space for 2 families with young kids. The outdoor space was amazing with heated pool (important in March) and firepit for nightly conversations among the adults. We cooked at home most nights and the kitchen was well stocked with gear. We enjoyed our time in Port Aransas and at this home.

Thanks so much for staying with us at Knot Too Shabby. You are right a heated pool is very important in March, and you can never go wrong with a firepit. We are so happy you enjoyed your time in Port Aransas, Texas. Please come back and see us again soon.
Our first visit to Port A was great! House was perfect for our family of 7! Everyone had their own space. Pool was great for the hot summer days. Golf carts are the mode of transportation on the island so that’s a must have! House had everything you need to start out. Easy grocery delivery order from HEB or eat out at some local spots. Beach is a short cart ride away! We will be back!

We are no strangers to STR's in Port A. We come several times/year. Knot too Shabby is definitely the nicest place we have stayed to date! The decorations and overall ambience added to our sense of vacation and relaxation.

Thank you for leaving your review, we hope you come back and see us!
The house was a lovely home for weekend getaway. We had fun in the pool after a long day at the beach. The bottom room was having difficulties with the AC but they were able to fix the problem. We made s’mores and the kids had a great time.

Thank you for the review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to your return to the island!
We loved everything about this house - perfect location, comfy beds, plenty of room. The pool was great and we loved the golf cart. The kitchen had everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again.
We enjoyed our stay at Knot so Shabby. We loved having a private pool, deck and fire pit. The beds were very comfortable and we liked the layout of the house. Downstairs furniture was uncomfortable and not very spacious for the 12 max guest limit. The kitchen was missing a lot of basic cooking supplies such a whisks and a multi serve coffee pot. Overall these were minor complaints that’s didn’t make a large impact on our fun trip!
We really enjoyed staying at the property. It was just the spring break vacation that my family and our friends needed. The property was well kept and comfy. Just might recommend an update to the living room cushions, but it didn't keep us from relaxing and enjoying one of our favorite destinations. We loved our stay and would recommend to others. Thank you!
