We’ve stayed here twice already and really enjoyed our stay. The house is spacious as far as bedrooms and bathrooms. The kitchen could be a little bigger and if you’re not able to climb steep stairs then that’s a problem. It was overall great stay though. Host communication was great. Even gave us great offers to add to our trip. Will definitely book again

Reviewer Comments:
We were a group of 3 couples on vacation escaping cold weather. The house was beautiful and set up nicely with each couple having their own bathroom. We caught a lot of catfish from the dock and played a lot of card at the large dining table.The only disappointment was the master bedroom was the only bedroom with a tv after specifically being assured all bedrooms had one.

Disliked: Communication
The house overall was in fair condition and well appointed. However, when we arrived, we discovered the upstairs thermostat could only be set by the owner via remote access. We had no control over the thermostat. Bizarre!! I have never seen this in my years of renting. The downstairs area wreaked of a foul sewer smell. I can only assume was coming from the house sewer as it is on a septic system.

We had a great time at Estes Oasis. The home was plenty big enough for 10. It’s nice that each bedroom also has an accompanying bathroom. Great views off the back deck, and decent dock fishing under the green light.
This was our 3rd time staying at Estes Oasis and we love it more each time! The home is well equipped, perfect for those with a boat, super clean and in a great location! The property mgmt. company is so welcoming and easy to work with… we always feel right at home! Can’t wait until the next time! Highly recommend.

Amazing stay and so thankful we got to bring our beloved dog along too! Very clean, great accommodations and layout, super outside area and balcony. Very nice patio furniture spread out so we didn’t even need the chairs we brought and their chairs/table and picnic table were great quality and really nice. Great amenities and little kits in each room were a nice surprise and great added touch. Friendly neighbors and peaceful and quiet outside. No fish keepers, caught a couple crabs but we fed a lot of fish. Loved our mini vacay. Would love to stay again.
My family stayed for a mini vacation and we had a blast! We love that each room has it's own bathroom. It was peaceful, relaxing, and enjoyable to wake up and see the water everyday. The stairs are a doozy, but other than that, it was a wonderful experience.

Thank you so much. We're delighted to hear your family enjoyed the water views and the privacy of each room. We appreciate your understanding about the stairs and are glad the overall experience was a positive one.
The house was great. Located in a quiet, friendly neighborhood convenient to Aransas Pass. Paddleboarding and fishing right off the pier/dock. Long ride to Port Aransas Beach (45 min - 1 hour) depending on ferry wait or to drive around through Corpus was the only negative

Thank you for your kind words. We're glad you enjoyed the peaceful neighborhood and the activities right off the dock. We appreciate your feedback about the drive to Port Aransas Beach.
Very nice small community on the canal. Everything was smooth and overall a great trip. The stairs inside the home are extremely steep so we often used the exterior stairs in the front and back of the home which was fine.

Thank you for your kind words. We're glad you enjoyed the community and your trip, and we appreciate you sharing the note about the stairs.
Loved the location, the fenced yard and canal access. Plenty of private spaces for children to play games. Each bedroom having its own bathroom a real plus for us. One of my favorites so far in City by the Sea.
Very convenient and plenty of room to moor our boat overnight. Access to the bay was excellent. Houses in the canal had lovely lighting creating a very relaxing atmosphere at night. House had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. I do have to say however that the interior stairs were a little too steep for our aging knees.
This home and the locale are real winners. We spent most of our time on the awesome back deck, overlooking the canal and playing cornhole. The inside of the home was warm, comfortable, and functional. The property manager was excellent, prompt, and so very kind. Our family made lots of great memories in this lovely canal home.
The property was at a good location and in good condition.
Interior cleaning can improve; hair balls and heavy dust was under all bedroom and living room furniture. Ocean view window in the living room; from floor to half way up the glass was covered with hand prints and smears.
