House is older but still nice. Had a very odd smell when we arrived. Noticed there were tons of plug ins but they were all empty. Pool was by far the best part of the stay. House is located near several bars and restaurants so yes you can hear loud music if you’re outside and cars do line up down the street in front of the rental. The house is currently for sale. So the sign out front confused me but no issues getting inside. The lights in the pool did not turn on at night. Also the pump and water fall for the pool are on a timer. No biggie. Overall communication was straightforward. Everything is done via text. House is located pretty much close to everything. I would not recommend walking to the beach as the house is not within walking distance. Golf cart rental is the best option. Overall it was good but I would not rent again mainly due to cost. I did not see the value.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the pool, convenient location, and communication with our team. We’re sorry to hear about the odor upon arrival and appreciate you bringing the pool lights to our attention. We’ll have our maintenance team look into both. The pool pump and waterfall operate on timers as part of the pool’s regular maintenance schedule. The home is located in the heart of Port A, within easy reach of local restaurants, bars, and attractions. While this makes the location convenient, there can occasionally be some noise and traffic from nearby businesses. The home is also currently listed for sale, but this does not affect guests’ reservations or access to the property. We understand that everyone has different expectations when it comes to value and appreciate you sharing your perspective. Thank you for choosing to stay with us! 🌴

Perfect vacation

House was clean and well located, close to all the restaurants and golf cart rental companies as well as beach. Pool was beautiful and the fenced yard was perfect for the dog. Decor was so nicely done, perfect beach house with everything you could need. Rental company was extremely helpful when I couldn’t figure out the lock code/door situation (today my fault).

Although the property is old and the pool looks larger than it is, me and my 7 friends found the house well kept and the pool very enjoyable. It is close to shopping and the beach. Whenever we return to Port Aransas, we will certainly try to get this property.

Great house with plenty of room

We loved this rental, the pool was the best thing ever. The house was stocked with everything you'd need! If you're staying longer than a few days definitely bring extra supplies like they recommend. It was very clean, the pool and yard was well kept. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, and everything was very comfortable. Wifi was a little slow but we used a hot spot to stream movies off our Roku stick. We'll be back next year!

Oleander Stay

The house on line looked great, We discovered that looks can be deceiving. The back yard was Abutting to A yard that had weeds 7 yo 8 ft tsll, Mosquitoes everywhere. Cackaroaches were all over the Yard, we found a few in the shower, kitchen, living room it was just not like we thought and there was a Moldy Musk, smell im sure from moisture under the house.

Thank you for your feedback. I’m truly sorry to hear that your experience wasn’t what you had hoped for. We do have the home professionally sprayed for pests on a monthly basis, but unfortunately, we don’t have control over the condition of the neighboring yard, which can sometimes contribute to mosquito activity and other pest concerns. The home is older, which may contribute to the musky smell you noticed, but we will have our housekeeping and maintenance teams follow up to ensure everything is properly cleaned and inspected for any underlying issues. We genuinely appreciate you bringing this to our attention and are sorry that your stay didn’t meet expectations.

Great house

The home was exactly as advertised with plenty of space for our family. The saltwater pool is small but it was enough for the grandkids to have a great time. The only draw back was the refrigerator. They have a sign on it that tells you it will take up to 2 days for your food to cool down. For the cost the least that could happen is the refrigerator be cold upon arrival. The gate going from the backyard to the drive doesn’t latch properly so if you bring a dog you’ll need to constantly supervise them while outside or they can get out if they bump the gate slightly. Those were the ONLY negatives.

Jackie we're so glad that you enjoyed the house, and your grandkids were able to enjoy it. The fridge is always cold but there are times when it gets opened and closed time, and again so it may take a bit to catch up from being warmed with it being opened up so much. also i will speak to maintenance about the gate needing repaired thank you for bringing it to our attention.

Great family week!

We enjoyed our week at this house! It has everything we needed and the right amount of rooms and space. We liked the almost 1-story layout and the backyard area a lot. As much as I would recommend it, there are a couple of things that need attention. The cold water faucet doesn't turn on in the queen bed side, the left queen bedroom door doesn't shut, and both of the shower curtain liners need to be cleaned or replaced. They are so mildewy. I do have to say when the patio lights were broken when we arrived, (management already knew and didn't say anything until we notified them,) they were fixed by the pretty quickly after asking about them. The areas around the vents are in serious need of dusting or more. Lastly, one of the plugs in the tub bathroom doesn't work. Although these details need attention, we would definitely rent this house again. The proximity to the beach, stores, and restaurants were perfect. It's a little more expensive than we would like to pay because you can get these same perks at less expensive spots, but we weren't disappointed in the end. Please don't price yourself out of our league. Thanks for a great week!!!

Summer Stay

The property is nice, the bedroom are a good size, good enough for a family of nine. Pool was refreshing and clean, the bbq pit was dirty but we ended up buying one. The power went out for a couple of hours due to the weather and the power line. Property manger responds promptly with any questions or concerns I had. Travel time from the property to the beach is within 5-7 mins, not far at all. The property in general is a great place to stay minus the couple of roaches we spotted.

Not a "Mistake"

We usually travel once a year to Port A. This house was very nice, but we knew we were traveling a little early in the season and the weather was cold. BEFORE I rented the house, I contacted Port A Beach Company by email and asked if the pool was heated. They replied "Yes". I then sent a reply explaining why it was important. I don't believe they even read that email. They said there was a mistake, I say it was negligence. Either way, there was no compensation and they really didn't even want to talk to me. It was a cloudy, cool week, the water in the pool and at the beach was cold. I feel that I was lied to and will be very careful to not rent from them in the future.

Family Reunion

My father recently passed away and so we came to sprinkle his ashes in the ocean. This was a lovely home for us to be able to get together as family. It is one block off of the main street that goes through town so we were secluded and quiet yet everything was within one or two blocks of the house. It had a huge open Concept family area and plenty of outside access to the backyard. This gave us a wonderful flow for grilling and serving meals and individual gathering. The bathrooms were easily accessible and it has a beautiful covered porch that is fully shaded in the afternoon and the backyard is mostly shaded in the mornings. Tons of amenities were available to us for cooking in the kitchen As well as lots of storage for food so that we didn’t have clutter. The one thing I would ask for would be more towels. The house sleeps 12 yet maid service put three towels in each bathroom. Overall a wonderful experience and a spectacularly beautiful and updated home. We truly felt like someone’s guests.
