We absolutely loved our stay! The house was extremely clean, well-decorated, and had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen was fully stocked. The host was quick to respond and provided clear instructions for check-in and check-out. We would 100% book again!
This was a perfect set up with families with kids, the kitchen had everything we needed, there were plenty of towels. The house was decorated for the holidays which was such a nice touch. The host was very responsive, even on Christmas Day!

Very well-appointed home! Good layout with plenty of space. Very walkable but even better with a golf cart. Attentive host and smooth check-in/check-out process.

Thank you for the kind words! I'm so glad you enjoyed the home’s layout and amenities, as well as the convenience of getting around. It was a pleasure hosting you, and I appreciate you highlighting the check-in/check-out experience. You’re welcome back anytime!
100% the way it was described!! The house is so beautiful - rooms are cozy with plenty of towels for an entire week’s stay. The kitchen is well stocked and the pool - I want to say this is one of the few covered pools at Port Aransas. This is a great feature, specially as you are coming back from the beach and you are looking to relax, cool off and mingle at home. Gotta keep the party going !!This was a memorable stay and we intend on staying at Rum Runner on future vacations.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
It's a pretty house and location, but never mentioned that the 4th bedroom and bath were down stairs with a separate entrance and no inside connection to the rest of the house. THE ELECTRIC PLUGS ON ONE SIDE OF THE HOUSE DID NOT WORK. IT TOOK 3 DAYS FOR FOR SOMEONE TO COME TRIP THE BREAKERS THAT We Had no access to. THE CLEANING CREW SAiD THEY REPORTED THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS BE FORE WE EVER ARRIVED. The REFRIGERATOR leaked on the floor and did not work properly. The dishwasher did not work and from the mold on the inside I assume had not worked for sometime. The response from the management was( will look in to it, then nothing else) so my vacation included handwashing dishes for 8 people 3 meals a day.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m truly sorry to hear about the issues you experienced during your stay — this is certainly not the experience we want our guests to have. We strive to maintain a comfortable and fully functional home, and I apologize for the inconvenience caused by the electrical problems, refrigerator, and dishwasher.
I understand how frustrating it must have been, especially when hosting a larger group. We have addressed the maintenance concerns since your stay to prevent this from happening again. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve, and I appreciate you bringing these matters to our attention.
If you’re open to it, I would love the opportunity to make this right and provide a better experience in the future.
