The property was clean and check in was easy. My only issue was the pool appeared larger in the photos of the property. This was a very relaxing trip and it was nice to spend time with friends. Definitely would stay again.

Thank you, Payton! We're glad to hear the home was clean, check-in was smooth, and that you had a relaxing trip with friends. We appreciate your feedback about the pool and will review the listing to ensure expectations are clear. We'd be happy to host you again!
This place worked out perfectly for me and the group that was staying there. Plenty of room for everyone didn't feel crowded. As for the pool/hot tub was not clean but honestly we weren't going to use it any way

Closer to the beach than we thought which gave us so many convienences with the grandkids. Pool area was perfect to enjoy with everyone and outside shower was a hit!

Hey Katie! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a fantastic time at Monte Kristeaux! It sounds like everything exceeded your expectations, from the beautiful and clean house to the comfy beds and well-stocked kitchen. And let's not forget the outdoor shower and pool combo - perfect for rinsing off all that sand! Thank you for your glowing review and for choosing our property. We hope to welcome you back soon!
The house was a perfect place for us to relax during our stay in Port A! It was a short drive from the beach and the covered porch downstairs offered a peaceful place to lounge by the pool or play some games. The house was very clean and the living and kitchen area was perfect for hanging out together.

Our first trip to Port Aransas was perfect. The property was nice and spacious and very conveniently located just a short distance from the beach and restaurants. The heated pool was perfect! We really appreciated the space and our communication with Jim was timely, professional and respectful. We’ll definitely be back!

Hi John,
Thank you so much for the excellent review. We are happy to hear that Monte Kristeaux helped to make your first visit to Port Aransas an enjoyable one. We look forward to your future visits and have a great day.
Great home for a family getaway with lots to do. Loved that the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare family meals. Only drawback, pool heat component does not work and so really only of use if you go in hot months.

3 generations of Central Texans completely enjoyed our stay. 9 of us were comfortable the entire stay. Rented a golf cart and short 3 min ride to beach. Close to Grocery store.
Will definitely be back.

I’ve stayed all over Port Aransas. The location of this house is perfect. It has a very homey atmosphere and the kitchen is well stocked. The downstairs activities between the fire pit, pool and ping pong table was all used. The house isn’t like all of these new slum lord rentals going up in Port A. It’s well built, well stocked and has very nice furnishings. I highly recommend. We will be back.

Hi Robin, Thank you for sharing your experience! We're delighted to hear that you found the location of our house perfect and enjoyed its homey atmosphere. It's great to know that you made use of the downstairs activities and found the kitchen well stocked. We take pride in providing a well-built property with quality furnishings, and we're thrilled that you appreciated it. We look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit to Port Aransas!
overall we really enjoyed the stay there. Very nice, very clean. The construction next door is a little annoying but that is not your fault. If you are brining a boat there is enough room to park but if you have additional cars it may be a little difficult. We only had the boat and one car and it was manageable and my boat was 21 ft. Very close to the marina if you are a fisherman. The home is very nice with a lot of additional touches provided by AvantStay
Thanks.

It’s great to know that you managed parking with your boat and car and that you found the location convenient for fishing. We’re also pleased that you appreciated the additional touches provided by AvantStay. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!
The house was nicely decorated with a very well equipped kitchen. The inside of the house was clean and ready at check-in. The grill did not appear cleaned, nor did it have a full tank of propane. The downstairs bathroom near the pool had sand all over the floor and would get extremely hot during the day. Overall we had a very nice stay! A great guys weekend with fishing and all!

Thank you Kevin! Glad you enjoyed your stay at Monte Kristeaux. Our sincerest apologies for the grill and sand. We will address the sand on the floor with our housekeeping company as that is completely not acceptable to our SWAY cleaning standards. On the grill, we will address that with our grounds keeper; grills are to be cleaned after each guest and there should be at least SOME propane to start guests out on. Refills are on guests should they need/want more if they are grilling a lot. Again, thank you so much for bringing this to our attention. We will address this right away! We hope you'll come back again soon and enjoy another SWAY stay!
My family and I enjoyed the place for the most part.It was enough space for 7 of us. When we got there we were disappointed to see that the private pool was dirty and then learned that it was not working and we couldn't use it. We rented this particular place because it had a private pool and then come to find out we were not able to use it was disappointing. I was not notified in any way ahead of time about the pool not being available nor did it give that information on the website. The place was nice and clean, but there were a couple of things we contacted about. One of the covers on one of the beds had blood on it, which was quickly picked up by someone and taken care of. One of bathroom tubs had a slow drain. On the day of check out the smoke alarms went off when there was no smoke in the place. I was able to call for assistance. I do appreciate that I was able to contact someone and they were able to help when needed.

Hi, Wendy. I'm so sorry that happened.
