Family vacation

We had 12 people on our family vacation. The house was amazing and was everything we could have asked for. We were close to the pool which was a huge bonus. We had enough room for the whole family to stay comfortably. We will definitely be coming back.

Great Property for Family Beach Vacation

Very well stocked property, good location, nice balconies! Property came as listed amd was cleaned well prior to arrival. I would definitely recommend a golf cart rental during your stay as the walk to the beach is a little far to carry items for setup for a full day with canopies, chairs and coolers. We will definitely be back to this house since there was plenty of room for our entire clan!

Multi-generational family beach trip

Perfect house for our family gathering at the coast! Grandpa, aged 96, used the elevator with ease. The bridge players used the sun room for a quiet place away from the action in the great room. The dining room table seated 8 and 3 other diners used the stools at the kitchen island. There was also a game table with four chairs in the living room area and a separate media room so ample space to spread out for everybody. Very clean, lovely airy beach decor, kitchen well supplied with all the cookware and serving ware needed for large family meals. We rented a golf cart to get grandpa and gear to the beach but it was less than 10 minutes to walk down the street and over the boardwalk to the water. Highly recommended!

Very nice. Only problem was that I mistakenly thought that it would be ADA compliant because it had an elevator. As I said, it was my mistake and we worked around it.

Great Spacious Getaway for Large Groups with Great Host!

We had an amazing stay at this property! The house was spacious, clean, and well-equipped, making it ideal for our large group. The location was convenient, and the outdoor space was a great bonus. The property owner was extremely polite, responsive, and reasonable to deal with, which made the entire experience even better. Highly recommend A Shore Thing for anyone looking for a comfortable and hassle-free stay!

Perfect house

This house was perfect for our family and friends! It was clean and right next to the pool. (The pool was warm but that can’t really be helped in this Texas heat.) we loved all of the deck space and all of the seating in the living room. We will definitely be back!

Great House & Location!

House was great! Loved that there were 2 refrigerators. Clean, AC worked great! House even felt cold at 72 degree at night! Loved the large island in the kitchen. Perfects for staging food for a large group. The only negative would be the top room is not enclosed and is right off the kitchen. Anyone who sleeps in there will be kept up late or woken up by the early risers. Also, the recommended cart place was pretty pricy. I recommend selecting a cheaper place in town and driving the cart down the beach to the house vs the valet pickup/drop off method. (Personal preference). Either way, glad that the cart option was recommended!

We have stayed in port A at different houses over the last 18 years. This house was perfectly kept, everything listed was as it should be. Wouldn’t. Change anything we did for the group we had. Would definitely stay there again. Thank you for the opportunity.

A Shorething Splender

The Shorething house was spectacular. The funishings, art deco, and exterior plants were wonderful. I especially loved the Bird of Paradise flowers. The owers take good care of this house. The kitchen was well supplied with good pots and pans. My family enjoyed staying at this house. I give this house an A+.

Port A family vacation

The house was great, lots of room for our group. It was a little stretch of a walk to the beach, 10 minutes with little kids. Two of the bedrooms did not have doors so it was challenging to get kids to bed in them. Loved that the pool was right next door and viewable from the deck of the house. The home was well stocked with essentials and no issues with anything.

Great family vacation. So far best house we have stayed at in all the years we traveled to at Port A Only set back was issues with beach location and golf carts getting stuck and getting to the area where golf carts are only allowed.
