Positively in Port A

The HVAC unit was turned off outside when we arrived: it took close to 6 hours for the AC tech to come to the property and fix the problem. The beds weren’t as comfortable as we would have liked. I prefer pillow tops. Other than that, the unit was clean, quiet, and very convenient as we were able to walk the deck straight to the beach.

Owner had wagon, chairs, boogie boards we could use on beach. Second bedroom window needs covering because porch light is really bright through blinds. Master bedroom really comfortable.

Easy / close access to the beach which made the walk to the beach a lot easier. The unit was close to the parking lot so made unloading and loading quick and easy. Plenty of space for all 6 of us that were in our group. We will definitely be back.

Just as Described!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were very satisfied with our stay at Peace of the Sea. The condo was very clean, it was conveniently on the first floor near the parking lot (which made it easy for loading and unloading with the provided carts), and you could still see the water from the balcony. The boardwalk and property were very well maintained as well! While we loved this condo, we will likely stay in one higher next time because the balcony is right in the middle of the pool action. If you want privacy while still enjoying the view you can’t keep your blinds open unless it’s early in the morning. The condo is also near an elevator, but the noise wasn’t too bad and a sound machine drowns out passerby's. We loved this property and the management company. We will definitely be back soon!

Just like home

We originally had 4 people scheduled to stay, but one couple could not make it. So for 2 people it felt very spacious. There is a boardwalk over the dunes to the beach that takes about 2 minutes to walk across. The pool is kinda plain but the deck furniture makes it a nice place to hang out. This is a nicely maintained property, I would stay here again.

End of summer trip

Quick getaway before school starts. Was disappointed at first that I couldn’t get a higher floor unit but I’m glad I didn’t. The first floor was perfect and easy access to the beach. The patio overseeing the pool was great as well. Will definitely be back and use this property again.

Great location, so close the beach!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great family experience, great unit, great pool and so close the beach. The kitchen supplies were a challenge though. The pans and pots are all warped and do not maintain contact with the burners so cooking for 6 was a challenge. But the furniture was comfortable and so convenient.

Wonderful getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The rental was perfect. Just right for a family of four. The view and amenities could not have been beat. we loved watching the sun rise over the gulf from our patio every morning. The location was far enough out of town that you felt far enough away from the hustle and bustle of town but you are actually a 5 minute drive from town if you need anything and only a 10 minute drive the other way to get to corpus. We will be making this stay a family tradition for years to come.

We had a nice stay for a long weekend. We did like the that the property was not near town and a overall a quiet property, however the property could have been a little cleaner and we missed not having dark curtains to block out the building lights and lights from the pool.

Peace of the Sea Review

Cleaning crew obviously did not do a thorough check - we found grapes in a corner near the kitchen table and coffee grounds still in the filter in the coffeemaker. Kitchen could have been more equipped - there were no hot pads, no large colander or strainer, no extra large pot for boiling shrimp and fixing gumbo. There were no lids for the 2 pitchers they had for drinks. There were also issues with the gate code for entering the area coming back from the pool, not just for us but for others as well.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a great family friendly vacation. The boardwalk to the beach from the pool was heaven. No need to pack up the car. A little hose and shower on the boardwalk, helped clean off all of the sand. The boogie boards were a big hit for the kids too. Very clean and comfortable, with a nice table on the patio for your morning coffee. The proximity to the beach and pool made it easy to go multiple times a day, after getting rejuvenated in the air conditioner.
