  This is a great multi-family house. There is a separate apartment on the first floor which is great for a couple/small family who wants privacy. Upstairs in the main quarters are five other bedrooms and baths - so no one has to fight for a bed or bathroom time! The house is literally a hundred steps from the wooden walkway to the beach - it's beautiful, and is next door to the community pool (which is very cold, not heated). The sand on the beach is amazing - very fine and very packed which is great for running on the beach or building sand castles. The one MAJOR disadvantage of this house is the very unreliable wifi - completely out most of the time despite our efforts to reset it/unplug it. We ended up relying on a neighbor's weak signal and our own MiFi. Also, the house does not have ANY shampoo, salt, spices, oil, etc. No food stuffs of any kind so be prepared to bring or buy (fortunately the IGA is well stocked and about a mile away)

  Our family has enjoyed 2 summer weeks in the Tangerine Dream House both in 2009 and 2010 and are looking forward to 2011! The house accommodates our entire family (we take the entire space!) and everyone has their own space. We have family age 4 - 87 - so it works for every age! It is well arranged - very close to the beach - and the swimming pool is ideal when you've had all the sand you can stand! We even were able to entertain our extended family of 23 for dinner in the spacious kitchen, family room and decks! Barb and family/friends have recommended great places for us to eat and explore on the island and we will definitely return!

  We had 5 families stay here for the 2nd straight year. It was perfect. We have 4 young kids, and them being able to have their own room/bathroom, plus plenty of room to run around is ideal. Distance to the beach is perfect. Pool next door may have been the biggest hit. We're planning to go back next year.

  Our family stayed 4 nights and wanted to say many more. The house is exactly as described, kitchen is well stocked for preparing meals, the beach is a very short walk and the veiws are great. We highly recommend the Tangerine House and plan to return for another vacation.

  Our outdoor club held a kayaking weekend and used this facilty as base camp. We occupied all 3 floors with 12 attendees. It was great having so many bathrooms when everyone is getting ready to go out at the same time and also when getting back and all wanting to shower! The center floor and its large granite island was great for our potluck meal Saturday evening. We will be back! Bayou City Outdoors event leader

  Owner response: Many thanks to our guests who take the time to provide us with feedback. It makes us so happy when groups appreciate the amenities that our home offers and we hope you love it as much as we do!

  We came down with 4 other couples and stayed in the dream house. It was awesome!! Very clean and well kept. Owner's were very friendly and helpful. We had a great time! We all want to go back and stay longer next time! The pictures online do not do the house justice! The house is much nicer when seen in person. Very close walk to the beach.

  We spent 3 days in the Tangerine House & had a fantastic time. We've stayed in Port Aransas for 15 years & this was the best location. The beach area was wide, clean & well cared for. The house has everything you will need for a stay & it is in excellent condition. We would stay there again!!

  This home was a perfect get-a-way, and everything that the pictures and descriptions indicated. We stayed in the home with 5 couples and 2 children and had plenty of space and privacy. The home was well equipped and well taken care of. The location to the beach was great and made for easy on and off access throughout the day. Our group enjoyed the entire stay and we certainly can't wait for our next visit. Thanks again!

  The pictures and information on this house don't do it justice. The house was more than we could have ever imagined. There was dinnerware, cookware, drinkware, utensils, bathroom towels, tolietpaper, soap, and everything there. The only thing we had to really bring was food and drinks. You can rent the whole house or just a certain floor! They even had movies and games! Barb and her husband were very hospitable and I will NEVER stay anywhwere else when I come back.

  This IS the ultimate dream vacation house! We had two families; 2 sets of moms and dads, 2 college boys (stayed in first floor apt), 2 girls and two more younger boys (10 total)! With all of the bedrooms and bathrooms there was still privacy! The house is beautiful and fully equipped with everything you need! We have stayed at Port Royal down the road and another house in this neighborhood and this was the BEST! We had a GREAT week and hope to be back! Spring Break, March 13-20, 2009
