A great stay in Port Aransas

Our family had a wonderful time during our stay. The property was clean, spacious, comfortable beds, and nicely decorated. The ping pong, shuffleboard, and proximity to the pool was great for the kids. Would certainly book again.

Amazing home

This house had everything - lots of activities for kids young and old to enjoy, great yard, lots in interior space. While there is no direct beach access, it's literally a 3 minute drive to get to the beach access road, and boom - you're right there. Would definitely rent again!

Perfect for family

Beautiful home in a lovely neighborhood. Outside: covered areas, grassy area, fenced yard, swimming pool (3.5’ deep) directly behind through 2 gates. Nice porches with chairs that overlooked pool. Easy access to beach via golf cart or car. Elevator worked well. Downstairs apartment offered privacy for toddler sleeping. A/C worked well! We’d stay there again!

Beautiful and clean property

My family of 4 went with another family of 4 to this beautiful, well-kept property in Port Aransas. There was plenty of space and everything was clean and well stocked. I never stay at a place twice, but I may have to come back to this one. Exceeded expectations.

Perfect location and space

This house was perfect for our family and the bottom separate area for the grandparents. Everyone had their own space. We had big family dinners and grilled out every night. A very well stocked kitchen, just bring some extra paper goods and detergents. We loved the easy golf cart ride to the beach and shopping. We also loved the community heated pool which we overlooked. I’d definitely rebook for a Port A getaway!!!

Dirty

The home was a great setup and in a great location. It really needs a good old fashion cleaning, like a really really good deep clean. The house smelled like cigarette smoke we even found cigarette butts on the floor. Overall the home could be really amazing if it was cleaned properly. The washer was broken the whole time and we planned on doing laundry so we didn’t pack enough cloths and didn’t have a way to wash towels.

It was Ok!

Would have been better, but upon arrival I noticed the washing machine wasn’t working and the couch downstairs was broken and you couldn’t use it. Spoke to an employee of property manager who ended up getting a little irritated because she was having to work over time because of our issues. Long story short Property Manager never called me back as requested. They did bring us extra towels and linens the next day late in the evening. We had to go to the washerteria to wash beach towels and clothes. I received an email where they refunded us $200. The location was good there was a pool right by the house and it had a ping pong table and shuffleboard which the kids enjoyed.

Great house!

The home was very beautiful (but it could use a good cleaning) and had plenty of space for the 10 of us! It is very close to the town. We rented a golf cart (which I highly recommend) and it made it very nice to access the beach. The community pool is right out the back door, and my grandkids loved it!

Great place for us and our three grown children to all get together and spend quality time together visiting with each other! Grandkids all enjoyed the beach and pool playing with each other. We wish it was located closer to the beach, but the house was perfect for our family of 12!

Perfect house for our summer vacation

We loved this house! Our family really enjoyed our stay. The house was fantastic especially for our family of 7. We had so much space and the close proximity to the beach. Loved the pool and the kids loved the ping pong table. This was our favorite home we’ve stayed at. Will come back soon hopefully for thanksgiving.

It was nice. Saw roaches though and the mosquitos by the downstairs door was really bad. There was a roach in the coffee maker (insider water reservoir). Other than that, it was fine.

Stunningly beautiful home close to pool

Our family absolutely loved this home and how it is decorated. It had large open spaces to fit everyone. It was very clean. My kids loved the garage area to hang out in to play games. There was plenty of parking. We met up with our extended family and we had space to park 5 vehicles. We LOVED the close proximity to the pool. We were able to walk out of our back door to the pool to enjoy it. We want to stay at this home each year with our family. Definitely recommending.

Next to pool, loved games and sep apartment

Next to pool for kids and adults as well lol. Loved the cleanliness and spaciousness of this home. The downstairs apartment helped with giving some extra space for the extra couple that came on vacation with us. We loved the fun garage area. There was parking for 5 vehicles which helped. Nicest rental company that answered all of our questions professionally and in a quick manner. Will stay again.

Wonderful Rental Home!

The home itself is 5-star! Wonderful location, everything modern and well appointed, very spacious and as the picture shows, is literally feet from the community pool. We took six kids (all 12 years of age) and they had a blast. They were able to utilize the downstairs area which included bedroom, living area, full bath and equipped with separate fridge which was great. Also worth mentioning is that it was very clean (for those with OCD). The only negative for the trip (other than the extended power outage on the island), was our check-in. We were told the house was ready early and arrived to find nothing had been done to the house. While the cleaning team did come back quickly, it was still not ready by the 4:00 original timeframe and I never received a call back from anyone letting me know it was ready. In the future, it is probably a good idea to follow back up with frustrated customers (thus the reason for only 4 stars). Again and as for the home itself, I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Beautiful meticulously clean house in very nice neighborhood w great location!

This house is so beautiful and clean. It is in the downtown area and very close to the beach. We absolutely loved the swimming pool. The layout of this house was perfect for our family having upstairs and downstairs separate living areas. The rental company was a dream to deal with. Very easy to use and friendly. Everything that we needed was there in the house. We took advantage of the rental company's offer of a discount with a local fishing charter. We went and had a wonderful time and came back with plenty of fish. If you are looking for a beach getaway to Port Aransas, look no further.

Port A dream home

Thank you for the great stay. The management was so easy and nice to deal with, the house was very clean and well stocked. We had a great time on the fishing charter they offer too. Love that the house over looks the pool and was great for our small kids and the 4 families that joined. We will be back.
