We had a great time we 3 generations of our family together! Shirt drive to the beach and beautiful birds in the back. Property is nice and fenced in for your puppy :)

Three generations under one roof is what family memories are made of — so glad the home could bring everyone together! Between the short drive to the beach, the birdwatching out back, and a fenced yard for the puppy, it sounds like every member of the family was well taken care of. We'd love to welcome the whole crew back anytime.

Overall it was excellent. Some of the outdoor stuff didn't work like the string lights and the firepit. I reported the firepit and the host did send someone out to try to repair it. So overall, it was still excellent.

Beach trip

Pelican’s Porch was a terrific beach house for our family-grandparents, adult children and grandkids. House was the perfect size and we enjoyed the private pool, outdoor area, and game room. Location was close to everything we needed including the beach.

Paid a lot of money for this place for the week and it was dirty when we checked in. Pool had dead lizards and frogs in the filter and animal droppings all over the patio. Also had the previous renters or owners pack n play full of trash by the road which an animal decided to rummage through and take all over the street every night. This pissed the neighbors off and we told the rental company the first night but no one picked it up until our stay was almost over. Not worth the money that you pay for this place. Also guest bathroom toliet was broken so spend the whole first day waiting on maintance to come and fix it.

We're sorry this stay didn't reflect the level of care we aim to provide, especially at arrival. The concerns you raised have been shared with the team responsible for the home, and a deep clean has been scheduled. We also recognize that some items took longer to resolve than they should have, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Should you consider staying with us again, we'd welcome the chance to show you the experience we intended.

Loved the house and downstairs pool area and game room. Came with grandkids and they had a blast! Wish there would have been some more cookware specifically pans, we do a lot of cooking and there was only two older pans to pick from but everything else was top notch!

Very nice! Very spacious! And the best little details all around. Be advised these houses on the island have all the living area up stairs. This house has a great advantage with the boat house being finished out as a game room with TV ping pong and toilet room. Ya. 5 stars

perfect January bday vacay

This house was sooo relaxing! We brought our own food so we wouldn't have to deal with restaurants, and the house had everything in the kitchen we needed. We spent a lot of time on the balcony watching birds and playing board games. I appreciated all the clean (seemingly brand new) towels available. Also the location of the windows made the house bright and sunny, but we still had privacy. This house was truly perfect for my man and me and our sweet pup!

Great location and nice house

My family really enjoyed the house, the view was nice and the pool was great. The house was a short drive to the beach, maybe 5 minutes. The appliances could use some upgrading, dishwasher didn’t really clean the dishes and the grill needed to be manually lit. Also would be nice to restock the game room with newer equipment. Overall I would recommend this house to any family looking for a clean, relaxing house close to the beach.

Seamless Serenity

The property is well documented in photos and well stocked with everything one might need for a stay in Port Aransas (and more). The management and consideration of the property are where things shine beyond the photos. All light switches are labeled, signs are posted for use of amenities and Wifi, there are USB mounted charging ports on the back of nightstands, and everything's in pretty good condition. The property is well situated facing a small marsh with pelicans, fish that jump out of the water, and birds diving in to catch what they can and you can see for miles into the distance with cargo ships/tankers coming and going. It's a short drive to anywhere in Port A, but it was actually preferable for us to be in a small community away from the beach and this property delivered. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and appreciate all the work that Sway, Jim, & Chuma put into the place!

Amazing Stay

Absolutely a beautiful place! Everything from home to furnishings to pool to play room was over the top clean fresh and very welcoming. The pool was kid friendly as was the entire place. The Bird Sanctuary was unbelievable with literally hundreds of different coastal species in and out frequently. One of our days and I’m not exaggerating thousands of birds flew in and out in flocks!!! About 9am! Beautiful view of the sanctuary with ships passing thru the channel in the background. Beach was amazing and clean, restaurants were amazing and plentiful. The entire Island of the people that live their were all kind and serving! Much to my surprise and no intrusion whatsoever, A propane tank knob for a grill was stuck within 20 minutes a staff person showed up with a new one! The pool company stopped by and checked treatment, someone even came and brought trash can back from the street!! This company is Top Gun!! We will be back!!
