Port A with family

It was the perfect house for our family. The downstairs was perfect for the couple that joined us with a disability service dog. It gave them privacy and a place to go to when the couple were tired.

Perfect for large family

6 bedroom 4 bath within walking distance! Perfect for our large 3-generation family. Tonya is a perfect host; she responds immediately to any issue. I think this was my 5th year; and I’ll be back many more.

Great for large families.

We really enjoyed our stay. The house is big with plenty of room for everyone. We grilled fish that we had caught and ate on the outdoor picnic tables with lots of room for all of us. The mini kitchen in the lower level made grilling in the back patio easy. The lower level is a separate apartment from the upper level. Not all rooms have a tv - which the teenagers did not like. The property is dated - but for the price and location it can’t be beat!

10 days in “near” paradise!

Best house layout EVER! Downstairs private 2 bedroom with kitchenette. Upstairs 4 large comfy bedrooms. Beds and pillows very comfortable. Very spacious for our “come and go” group of 19 family and friends (plus 2 dogs). The full size fridge upstairs and down made for a perfect set up for bringing all our stuff to cook homemade meals every night! Kitchen was fully stocked! Washer/dryers upstairs and down also made for the perfect come and go bedding changes between our groups of guests! Location was perfect with easy access to beach!The only (and a major) downside was the AC wasn’t working when we arrived. It was a steamy 80. The host was amazing and worked with me, an AC company and some others to install 6 window AC units and had the AC company there EVERY DAY trying to make us as comfortable as possible! She was very responsive, had additional fans delivered. When we cooked upstairs in the kitchen it had been as hot as 85. Luckily with the addition of the window units and fans we stayed at a nice 72 for the last 5 days. She was very apologetic and I really felt like she made the best out of a poorly timed Refrigerant Leak!

Perfect stay!

This was our second year to get this property for the week. Everything about it is perfect! The location is in a quiet neighborhood with easy and walkable beach access. We loved having access to the pool when we needed a break from the beach. The kitchen has everything you would need. The rooms are all big and the bunks are perfect for a family group with a lot of kids. We also appreciate all of the beach toys, chairs, and wagons available to use! The property owner is so kind and showed up with a very unexpected and thoughtful gift for being return guests. Couldn’t have asked for anything better! We will be back!

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.

A Nice Moderately Priced Beach House

We rented this property because it accommodates the needs of a large family. We had fourteen staying, including us (grandparents) and our three children and their families. We appreciated each adult/couple having a separate bedroom with two bedrooms leftover for the kids to enjoy each other's company. Everything was clean and there were plenty of cooking utensils, and space for 4 cars and a golf cart. The air conditioner and wifi were adequate. There were a few matters that need attention. The community pool needs more frequent cleaning. It was murky and buggy. We needed to have lightbulbs available when some burned out. Some of the pots and pans need replacing because the non-stick surface is scratched up. All in all, this was a large and comfortable family house. It is not luxurious, but it suited our needs.

Having a large family and needing several bedrooms can make finding a place to stay difficult. This property has everything we needed. This stay makes our third and hopefully there will be many more. Tonya is fantastic and quick to take care of any issues. Definitely reccommend!!

This house was just the right size for our family, 9 adults and 6 kids age 4-14, with 6 bedrooms and the right configuration of beds. The downstairs apartment with 2 BR allowed a separate kitchen for one DIL with food allergies. The main house with 4 BR is all on one level and was spacious enough for the kids to play. There was enough space in the driveway and garage for 5 cars. The grills worked well. It is a short walk to the boardwalk and beach and we didn’t need to rent carts. The house is very close to one of the neighborhood pools, which the kids enjoyed. The neighborhood is quiet, looks great, and is well maintained. Everyone is friendly. Tonya was quick to reply to questions. We would definitely come back to this house!

Amazing, as always!

This was our 2nd year to stay here. We absolutely love it. The house is always clean, easy to access, close to the beach, and very roomy for big groups (there are 17 of us) This is our 4th year renting from Tonya, as she has other properties on the island, everything is always perfect. She is a great host. Thanks again for another great Port A Vaca! We can’t wait to be back 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.

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.)
