Perfect for dogs

We were looking for a place that was safe to take our dogs with us without having to worry about where to take them for their business. House was clean and well organized and within easy commute to all of Port A and Mustang Island State Park.

Okay for a last minute, affordable place by the beach

It was adequate but the floors where very dirty. My son's feet were black after walking around right when we got there. The air conditioning was dripping so we couldn't put anything under it. Other than that, it had a well stocked kitchen and working appliances.

Bad experience

We travel often with our dogs and this place has the worst smell you can ever imagine. Bugs and a rodent problem. Pest plug ins in the bathrooms and kitchen area so the problem is known. We had to go buy scented spray because the order was so bad. We woke up in the middle of the night with bugs in bed and roaches roaming the floor at night in the kitchen area. For the price we paid saying it was professional cleaned this was not accurate. Would never stay here again.

Check in was smooth but upon arriving we noticed the floors were filthy. My crawling baby had black knees after crawling around for 10 minutes. I messaged the host who offered for housekeeping to return but we had dogs so we declined. I requested more swiffers pads so I could mop myself but they dropped off the dry kind. The screened in patio is nice but the TV required a pin. The host didn’t know what it was and sent a maintenance technician over (who was friendly) but he also didn’t know the pin. I messaged the host the next day about it and didn’t get a response. This was a huge bummer because our baby was napping/sleeping in the bedroom (the only other space with a TV). The yard is not completely fenced in and the grass was covered with stickers that got in our dog’s paws. My husband found a weed pen on the table outside and there were cigarette butts all over. As far as the place goes, it’s pretty small which didn’t bother us there is only a window unit in the bedroom for A/C. So the rest of the place gets really warm during the day. They definitely need to put in a mini split or another window unit in the main area. The microwave also broke on us one night so we weren’t able to heat up all of our food for dinner.Overall, we will not be returning or recommending this place. The host was responsive to my concerns but there was very little follow through or if there was something done it was not helpful (dry swiffer pads and maintenance tech not fixing the TV).

Not clean, out dated. Toilet seat broken. House smelled like mold, stove didn’t work well. House was hot because there’s o my one AC unit in the bedroom. The only nice thing was being so close to the beach and being able to park your golf cart. The platform the outside table was on it’s falling apart, wood warped and boards pop up when you step on them. Floors were extremely dirty, they should be vacuum and mopped twice because of the sand. Dog hair still on the couch from the previous people. We saw a mouse in the house come from behind the fridge to a whole in the corner of the cabinet next to the sink.
