Our stay was great! Very relaxing and private! Awesome being able to spend the day at the beach then coming back to the pool. Will definitely be booking here again!
We have been coming to port a for years. This is the best place we have stayed at !!! Lots of room , pool was huge !! Beds were comfy . Kitchen had everything we needed .
Enjoyed our spur of the moment trip to Port A. The condo was clean and slept all of us very comfortably! We enjoyed the pools and had fun playing the games provided in the condo. This is our 3rd time at Pirates Bay and have not been disappointed.
We took 5 of our grandchildren to “the beach” for 4 days. This location and rooms
We’re perfect. The pool is close with play area. The layout of rooms
Was great. Thank
You so
Much!
The property location is spot on two ways to get to beach access. Cleanliness and accommodations were spectacular. An additional pool area would be nice because the pool area is small and very busy.

Room was clean, however we could never use one of the RR because the shower did not work. this was a huge inconvenience. I tried calling , left a voicemail , and messaged on app. Also, the TV in the master never worked.

Never got to stay at location because of hurricane Beryl
We were issued a mandatory evacuation on our trip and were not able to stay at all. Management communication leading up to evacuation was non existent until I reached out and then it was unsatisfactory at best. They told me a mandatory evacuation warranted a refund and then they ghosted me when I tried to follow up. Do better!!
This community and property were awesome. We really enjoyed our stay. The check in process was easy. The townhome was clean. My only complaint was the water pressure was low in the sinks and the outlets didn’t work in the master bathroom. None of this ruined our stay, but it was an inconvenience. Otherwise I would definitely recommend this community and townhome.
We stayed at this property 7 years ago, which made me rebook here this time around. This home was exceptional!! Upon arrival I could not get VRBO to answer, kept telling me it would be a long wait, I then contacted Sand Key Realty, the property management team, and they were excellent. Could not have been more helpful!! The location and grounds were great!! Will stay here again! Kids loved the pools and playground area.
The pool guy came in the middle of the day and sprayed us in the pool and all our towels. We were lucky to get into the pool since the management company left the wrong code and wouldnt call back.
Perfect for families with children. Comfy beds and couches. Loved the two ensuite bathrooms for separate couples. The place was clean and spacious enough for 6 adults and 3 kids. The pool area and playground was very nice. My only complaints are that the fridge did not gel cold and chill our food/drinks until 24 hours after check in. I'm assuming it was turned off or turned down until right before our check in. Most of our food had to be moved to the freezer and coolers and was inconvenient.
My family loved staying here! The property was cute, comfortable and felt welcoming. Plenty of room for 5 adults, 2 young kids and an infant. We loved the pool area. And loved how close we were to the beach. We had a great weekend vacation.
We had an excellent time with family for a short three day weekend. The kids had so much fun in the pool and at the beach which is Conveniently near by. They played games and had plenty of sleeping room. We will definitely do this again in the future.
Very handy, close to everything, quiet at night, even on Spring Break.
Floors were a little dirty for a crawling/toddling baby, got all her new clothes dirty.
Over all comfortable and as described.
My husband has been to Port Aransas several times to deep sea fish. This was my first trip. My daughter and her family came with us. This rental house was everything we wanted it to be. It was "as advertised " I would highly recommend it.
