Check in was a little confusing as GPS takes you to Cinnamon Shores main entrance, but listing is El Cortez, just North of CS. Also, check in guide stated “No garage access.” However garage access is the same as door code & garage is where ping pong table, cornhole, beach stuff & propane grill is. Other than that it was awesome!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review — and for taking the time to share these helpful details! You're absolutely right that GPS can lead guests to the Cinnamon Shores main entrance, so we appreciate you flagging it. The unit is in El Cortez, just north of there, and your note will help future guests find their way with ease. Thank you for pointing it out! We'd also love to clear up the garage note: "no garage access" simply means there's no parking available inside, since the garage doubles as a game room. You're more than welcome to enjoy everything in there — the ping pong table, cornhole, beach gear, and propane grill are all yours to use! We're so glad everything else was awesome, and we can't wait to welcome you back! -Life in Paradise Team

Overall we enjoyed our stay. The house is spacious and in a great location. We did have a few issues - found many roaches in the house but after calling the property manager, they sent out pest control right away. We also discovered bedding on several beds had not been cleaned. Again management responded promptly by sending housekeeping to replace linens. Future guests should be aware of sleeping arrangements. The listing states it sleeps 14 but our group of 12 used every bed. The double bed noted in the listing had been moved to the garage. Garage is not air conditioned and was filled with moldy beach toys making it unusable as living or sleeping space in the summer. While we appreciated how quickly the property manager addressed our concerns, the listing should be updated to reflect the available sleeping accommodations and ensure the home is thoroughly cleaned before guests arrive.

Location is great with easy beach access and nearby car access as well. The pool is right across the street. Layout is great for a couple families. The property is in a great location, however it is not in cinnamon shores, but actually 1 street past. The property is pet friendly, but there isn’t a fenced in backyard or full separate patios between the shared unit next door. The property was clean but furnishings are aging and some stained. Pics from the listing are very old. The interior has different floors and has been repainted since. Also ping pong table and room it is in in the photos is in the garage and not air conditioned or with working lighting.

Thank you for your detailed feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the location, easy beach access, nearby pool, and the layout for multiple families. For future guests, we'd like to clarify that the property is located very close to Cinnamon Shore, but it is not within the Cinnamon Shore community itself. We strive to accurately represent the property's location and amenities in our listing. Regarding the ping pong table, it is shown in the listing photos as being located in the garage alongside the TV. We're sorry to hear you experienced issues with the garage lighting during your stay. Please always reach out to us directly if you encounter maintenance concerns, as we are happy to assist and can often resolve issues quickly. We appreciate your comments regarding the furnishings and updates that have been made to the home. Feedback like yours helps us continue improving the guest experience. Thank you again for staying with us. -Life in Paradise Team

Great Place

Super close to Cinnamon Shores without all the hundreds of people everywhere. This house is a duplex. Upside is its close to the beach, quiet and well kept. One star drop only to personal preference: Right near a pond so the mosquitos are aggressive, small Livingroom and the beds were like sleeping on a rock (hardest mattresses out there). Great place and will consider returning

Port A vacay

Simply a perfect home for our family vacay! The amenities and spaciousness were spot on. Plenty of room for our family. Rooms were spacious and very comfortable. Plenty of seating, and every room had a large tv. A very short walk to the beach via the boardwalk. House was fully stocked and very clean. Pool was just across the street. The game room in the garage was a really nice bonus for the kids and adults alike.

What a perfect house for the weekend!!

This past weekend, Port Aransas had cold/rainy/windy weather. Knowing this going in, we thought this house would be perfect just in case we could not go to the beach. Man, did it deliver. The garage had a ping pong table, dart board and television which kept the kids occupied as well as arcade games upstairs in the bunk room. Everything was so clean and brand new. The adults could relax on the scenic back porch or on the comfy couches. It was exactly what we needed for the weekend. We will definitely look to stay there again. Thank you!!

Port Aransas Beach House

Great location. Close to the beach. The living area in the house was small. Not enough cookware and no hot pads whatsoever. The fridge ice did not dispense ice. Also, there was only one door shelf in the fridge. All others were missing. Lights in one bathroom flickered off and on. Some bulbs in kitchen were out.

Condo by the Beach

We held our annual Father’s Day trip at this condo and it was perfect for the 8 of us; my 83 year old mother, my husband, 2 daughters 15 and 19, my brother and his wife and their 17 year old son. My mom has a tough time with stairs, and there are a few (maybe 5) to get to the main floor, but once there the living room, kitchen, and master that she stayed in were on the same level. The house was clean and spacious and enough room for all of us. We did see a roach, but that can be expected near water. The owner was quick to respond and check in, while scheduled for 4:00, was early and we were able to access at 2:00- bonus! We enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay again when going back to Port A!

Family vacation

Harder to find than I expected. The property was not marked very well and pictures were not helpful in identifying the property. Maintenance needed attention: only a couple of lights has bulbs that worked in the kitchen/dining area, the kitchen tools and pans were sparse, the dryer was full of water, no broom to sweep the sand up, a/c in separate garage/game room didn’t work, tv in living room and master bedroom didn’t work. I’m not sure I would stay in this unit again unless maintenance issues addressed. I did take advantage of the vacation gear and that was great!

Great Location - Don't believe the pictures on VRBO

The home itself does have five bedrooms and four baths. Where do I start? The pluses: accommodated our group of 12, HOA pool was loved by the grandkids, the beach is close with a private boardwalk for the HOA and adjacent HOA. Was an outdoor hose for rinsing off. The kids had a good time.The minuses: Cracks everywhere in the main floor tiles, the refrigerator had a broken shelf and was missing door shelving, cockroaches in many rooms, ants in the kitchen, gas BBQ not functioning (finally got it partially working), 4 of the 8 kitchen seats were useable, but needed maintenance, no vacuum or broom (there was a mop there but no pads) - we bought a broom, some lights were burned out, a bathroom fan was not working. With the exception of a working griddle and a stock pot all the pots, pans, dishes, silverware, etc. needs to be replaced. I wouldn't use the pots and pans for my camping gear. No plunger, no first aid kit, no hot pads or oven mitts, no measuring cups, dryer sounds like a jet engine, living room furniture needs a through cleaning or replacement. Probably six hangers in the whole house, now there are 36 more. First beach house I have rented without beach towels. The only tub does not drain at all, the showers have good pressure, the sinks have terrible pressure. Toilet paper is 1 ply sandpaper. Game room dark, dirty, and hot.Bottom line: Other than some interior painting this duplex has not had any maintenance since it was built.
Missing at least two door mounts
Shelf over 1st crisper had a broken support. We removed it to use second crisper.
A clean pillow and a filthy chair.
This is the grill in the VRBO listing. It barely works. Needs to be replaced.

Great location but needs to attention

First I want to say in the description this is listed a house - this is not a free standing house, it is a duplex. Normally not an issue but the second level deck is a shared space with no divider. The main level deck has a divider but when both parties are out there you can easily hear conversations - same issue with the garage hangout space. Other issues included a lot of non-working items that the listings leads you to believe are in working order - these items included the shooting video game, TV in the garage, dart game in the garage, one of the garage doors, many lights in the garage are out, etc. Additionally, the house is listed as sleeping 14, but yet the kitchen table only seats 8 (10 with the 2 barstools) and there are only 8 plates. We had to go buy paper plates so our whole group could eat together. Overall our group did not feel the kitchen was well stocked. There were plenty of pots/pans, coffee maker, but there were no measuring cups nor any glassware for wine. There is a water stain on the master bedroom ceiling that needs to be addressed. Overall the layout of the duplex is interesting. Downstairs has the master bedroom and bathroom plus another full bath but no additional bedrooms. Upstairs has bedroom with bath, plus 3 additional bedrooms that all share the hallway bath unless you want to walk up and down the stairs each time. On the plus side is the cleanliness and location. The walk to the beach is short and easy.
