Would stay again if ever in this area

The house is beautiful and very well stocked. Amy was always right there with any questions that we had. We really enjoyed the walking/biking path in Sunrise Park. Not a lot to do in Portland but centrally located to the areas we wanted to explore.

lovely home

We were very happy with our visit! It was astonishing all that the owners had available for visitors to use. Had I known I would have left everything I packed at home except for my clothing! They were super kind and helpful when we had car problems. Amy was able to give me referrals of who to call for repairs. It was a very nice home and we hope to visit again! Linda and John

Great property

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property! Close to shopping and restaurants. The house has everything you need for an extended stay. It has several areas to relax. Our dogs loved the fenced yard, and the gated front porch! Quiet neighborhood. A park a few blocks from the house, has a nice overlook of the bay and access to the water. We were able to enjoy beach days on the gulf. Port Aransas, Whitecap Beach, Mustang Island, and the Padre Island National Seashore are all within 30-40 miles from the house. Corpus Christi is just a short drive, with lots to do there. If we plan another stay in this area, we wouldn’t hesitate to rent this home again.
