We love this place! This is our second time and it never disappoints. We have a total of 19 people including adults and kids. The layout is perfect for us. We loved the games and the proximity to the beach is perfect. Thank you for having us! We can’t wait for next year.

Lots of room

Roomy home! Neighborhood was nice, but every home was very close to the others. Couldn’t hear or see the ocean. Due to lots of recent rains and the ponds throughout the neighborhood, the mosquitoes were horrible. Got attacked each time we tried to get to the car, rinse off sand, or walk to the beach (through the neighborhood and over the boardwalk). The city sprayed a few times and it helped briefly, but they were back soon. Lots of small issues with the home, but owner was caring and very responsive. Took care of what she could immediately. We were disappointed at the amount of trash and tar on the beach. Seems like if you have to pay to park, the city ought to be working on keeping it clean. If you don’t mind being in a crowded neighborhood, with a good hike to the ocean or a short commute if you buy a parking pass, then this place could work well for you. We had a group of 15 and it was comfortable for our group.

A Great Stay

We loved our stay. It was clean, easily accessible, and had all the comforts of home. However, the two ladders leading up to the top area caused us a lot of problems. The ladders are straight up and down and affixed to the wall. Little boys and apparently girls too love to climb. We had an 8-year-old autistic boy, a 2-year-old boy with a prostetic leg, and two girls 8 and 9. We spent a lot of time telling them to get down and worrying about them. I wouldn't recommend taking children under 10 or children with special needs. Otherwise it was a great place to stay.

Family Vaca

Location was excellent- short walks to beach and pool. Bunk room great for youngsters and having pack in plays on site was convenient since we didn’t have to pack one. Fully equipped kitchen. Lots of table games and beach equipment. Pool was clean. Two kitchens were great!! My only suggestion is to bring plenty of bug spray- mosquitos were very aggressive everywhere but beach. We plan on returning soon!

Perfect!!

Our family visits Port Aransas every July! It’s something we all look forward to together. We have been renting from Tonya since 2021, and she never disappoints. This is our first year in this house, previously we have stayed on Anchor Drive. While we adore the house on Anchor Drive, this house was absolutely perfect. It was clean, has PLENTY of room for all of us. Beds were comfortable, love all the games and beach toys at the house. We had the best time, and will definitely be renting this house again. I can’t say enough good things about Tonya. When we saw she owned this house as well, we jumped right on it. Thank you again for another wonderful vacation in our favorite place in Texas♥️

Sandfest Family Vacay

Property was big, beautiful, and clean. We were greeted by lots light throughout the home. There was enough beds and space for our family of 20. We rented 2 beach carts and hand no trouble getting to the beach and back on to the property. We were also a 2 min walk away from the pool. The picture online did not do it justice for it exceeded our expectations. We’ll definitely stay here again for future family reunions!

Good location, quiet neighborhood

Delightful location, short walk to the beach, short drive to the IGA grocery store and gas stations. The new refrigerator installed the week before our rental did not function and is being replaced. Thanks to the large downstairs refrigerator we managed OK. Previous reviews highlighted the need to bring paper goods, and extra towels and blankets which were needed. Overall, good experience. Our stay was over Christmas week, and the neighborhood was mostly quiet which suited our family just fine (kids could play in the street...minimal traffic)

Thanksgiving at the beach

Had an amazing time with family and friends. There were 16 of us and plenty of room for everyone. Kitchen upstairs was stocked with every type of pot, pan and utensil you could think of. Love the layout of the house. Distance to the beach was not far at all. Thank you for sharing your home with us. Would definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Tonya May

Host profile image
We lived in Port Aransas for 12 years and enjoyed living on the water! We purchased this home in Nov. 2014 so you can enjoy the beach and fishing with your family! We are excited to share it with you and your friends and family. We hope many cherished life-long memories are made here by both your family and ours!

Why they chose this property

We chose the property because it was in Port Aransas and because it's right between the beach and the pool. The street is not a through street and does not connect to other streets in the neighborhood. Kids can skateboard or bike without worry about traffic.

We also love the views. We can see the sunset, the bird pond and the gulf from the porches. For us, this is a restful place where we just enjoy all the special wonders at our doorstep.

What makes this property unique

This house is great for large groups of families. It's ideal if you want an easy walk to both the beach and the pool. The generous sized bedrooms and living areas mean you'll never feel crowded, and the many outdoor spaces will give everyone a place to marvel at the peaceful beauty. (Sitting out on the back patio at night is fabulous!!)

The house is also well suited for groups, yoga workshops and church retreats. (Yoga classes can be arranged for you if that is of your interest group.)
