Wonderful stay on Mustang Island

The house was located perfect and it was very nice, clean and had everything we needed. The fenced in back yard and pool area was perfect. We plan to book this place again as it was very enjoyable.

Being honest...

Cute place with plenty of extras for our stay. The pool area had games and toys for everyone. Outside area was really nice with plenty of BBQ options and a fire pit. The lights on the outdoor area was a nice addition for late night shenanigans. The house was nicely decorated, with plenty of standard amenities. Kitchen was decent for cooking and serving. We did have some issues throughout the stay and messaging through VRBO never got us any answers. The insinkerator didnt work which left us with a nasty kitchen sink. We worked it out. The house was not clean...dog hair on the comforters, terribly dusty fans throughout and the house was smelly. When we first came in there was a big gob of hair on the kitchen counter and jelly all over the toaster. The outdoor shower was broken and the stovetop was cracked so we were nervous to use it. There was broken glass in the bar area. The 1st full day, lawn care team came in the fence and mowed while we were relaxing at the pool. Spraying poison/weed killer while kids were playing in the yard area...that was really aggravating. I tried reaching out several times but never got an answer. Really wanted to love this place...

Staycation

We had a 4 day staycation at SS Minnow and the property was great! We really enjoyed the outdoor spaces and the location! Just far enough from the crowds in Port A, but close enough to get to the restaurants in just a few minutes. My family from out of town rented the property right next to us and it couldn’t have worked out more better. We all enjoyed our stay and had the best time !

Port A fishing trip and R & R

This house has everything! Swimming pool, games, grills, bar, tv’s. My new home away from home! We walked our dogs to the beach which was amazing! I couldn’t have asked for anything more than I got out of this rental from New Wave!

Great place!

We have stayed here before and enjoyed it! This stay the cleanliness was an issue upon arrival. Large crumbs on bedside table and garbage under the bed, hairs in the shower, broken glass on the patio left us feeling a bit uneasy. (My daughter actually twice cut her foot on the glass!) I also didn’t like the laminated pages warning of extra charges for things like stains on dish rags, etc. We work hard to treat the home as we would our own and to leave it as we found it or better. The notion that we might be charged an extra $5 for wiping up coffee with a dish rag when we have already paid what I consider a very high cleaning fee is crazy! It seems like there’s a new management company which given the state of the home on arrival needs to double check the cleaning prior to new renters arrival!
