Hi Christopher, we're thrilled you found our place to be a quiet and relaxing retreat outside of town! Port Aransas does indeed have its own unique charm. We look forward to welcoming you back for another fantastic visit!
Very nice and comfortable. Some of the furniture was well used. I had a hard time getting out of the rocker. Exhaust fan in the back bathroom was inoperative. Air conditioning was excellent. Location was excellent. Noise level was also excellent. Pool was excellent. Sheets and towels were excellent. We had a very nice, relaxing time.

Thank you for your honest feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the comfort, excellent air conditioning, location, and pool. We appreciate you letting us know about the rocker and bathroom exhaust fan — we’ll look into those right away to improve for future guests. Happy to hear you had a relaxing stay overall and hope to welcome you back again!
Here are the positives and negatives for this property. Positives: the beach access/location, the boardwalk to the beach is great. Overall cleanliness was good. Fully stocked kitchen was helpful and used. Master suit is very spacious, other guest rooms were nice. Negatives: furniture in main family area is very dated and worn, should be replaced, perhaps they are getting ready to paint the unit, walls were bare with picture hangers everywhere, master shower drain was plugged, fire alarm went off randomly, thankfully upstairs neighbors knew how to turn them off.
We enjoyed our stay. We arrived and were short two sets of bath towels but we messaged the host and they were able to get us the towels in a timely manner. It was a bottom condo, close to the walk way to the beach, and pool. We will stay again!

Thank you, Katherine! We're so glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay and that the towel issue was resolved quickly. It's great to know you appreciated the condo's proximity to the beach and pool. We look forward to hosting you again!
Nice rental although it did need a deep cleaning. Discussed other items with manager. Liked that there was a direct board walk to beach. Pool was nice.
