We had a lovely stay. The home was spacious with great amenities. We celebrated our matriarch's 84th birthday and she had a wonderful time. The only negative issue....we had to kill a few roaches.

Thank you so much for this lovely review — and for choosing us to celebrate such a special occasion! Knowing your matriarch had a wonderful time on her 84th birthday truly warms our hearts, and we're so glad the spacious home and amenities helped make the celebration shine. We do want to apologize for the few roaches you encountered. Island living can make bugs a real challenge, so we treat the property regularly to keep things comfortable — and we're sorry a few slipped through during your stay. It was an honor to be part of such a meaningful milestone, and we can't wait to welcome your family back! -Life in Paradise Team

Good property for sleeping a large quantity of people with a seperate upstairs entrance and first floor entrance. Property is geared to sleeping a lot of people, especially kids. However, only one room is friendly to an adult couple with a king bed and private bath. Mattresses are box springs with no toppers or support and soft. Not a firm bed in the home. Also noisy with any movent while sleeping.The kitchen equipment shows wear and lacks organization in how items are stored, beyond plates and glasses. Huge dining table will accomodate 10 plus people for eating at a single table. However, not enough spoons/forks/knives to serve a larger group of people.Property is adjacent to pool and subject to "pool noise". Access to the beach is not necessarily hard, as most of Port A is accessible relatively easy by driving in car or golf cart. This is not a boardwalk / beachfront community. Property is responsive and the community is nice. Not sure if related issues are management or owner issues which brings the rating of the home to an ok place - just not what I was expecting.

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear the home worked well for a larger group, and that you appreciated the separate upstairs and first-floor entrances, the large dining table, our responsive team, and the community overall. We also appreciate your honest comments regarding the mattress comfort and noise, the kitchen organization and utensil quantity, and the pool noise due to the home’s nearby location. We understand how those details can shape the overall experience, and we’re sorry the property did not fully meet your expectations. Your feedback is valuable, and we will be sure to share these comments with the owner. Thank you again for staying with us and for offering insights that help us continue to improve. -Life in Paradise Team

Very nice house in Port Aransas

The house was perfect for a large group, we were 14, with kids. We had everything we needed, the check in process was easy, the host provided clear instructions for check in/check out, and responded when we had questions. The spaces are confortable, the condominium has nice pools, and the beach is only minutes away!
