Great house for family and grand kids. Really enjoyed that the golf cart was included in the house rental cost. The house is nicely located across the street from the community pool. Boardwalk to the beach was very handy and close by. Great time!

Good location, needs maintenance

Good location, well-laid out house with good space but -desperate need of thorough cleaning (filthy carpets, musty smell, dirty kitchen cabinets, hand prints on walls, etc), -maintenance (rusted garage doors, pest control, chipped toilet seats) and -restocking of kitchen items (one plastic wine glass in a house that sleeps 10+, no working wine openers, etc). The 24 hour golf cart access was appreciated and very fun.

Will be back!!!

This was out first experience to Port Aransas and we couldn’t be more pleased with everything . The home accommodated all of us comfortably. We loved how close we were to the beach. The retail shops, restaurants and Pete the fishing guide at Woods were all friendly and very helpful with any questions we had. The only issue we had was the dryer not working but the office staff said we could take are clothes to the office where they had a dryer. Being we were new to the area just a suggestion would be to have a guide with list of places to eat, activities in the area, and transportation numbers other then the golf cart ( which we loved,it was fun to drive on the beach road and take to the beach and town) Thanks for the use of the home. Awesome time by all

Run down & dirty

The location of the property was fantastic, but the quality of the home was not up to par. The kitchen cabinets & drawers were dirty and there appeared to be droppings of sorts inside. Due to the sandy environment, we kept shoes at the door but our feet were all black which mean a very dirty floor. The property manager immediately sent a cleaning crew to address the issue, but sanitization should be a priority, especially in the current COVID environment. Additionally, the toilet seat in the main area was broken and came completely off. The beds were hard as cement. The quality for the amount of money was substandard.

Really Great House, especially for families with children!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful time at this house! We had 3 families with little kids. Each family had their own floor. My husband and baby stayed upstairs in the master and the closet was HUGE!! We were able to easily put our pack n play in there (honestly could have fit 2 or 3 pack n plays- it was so long). The house had an extra pack n play that we used as a make shift baby gate for the stairs that went to the first floor. The living area and kitchen are on the second floor. They also had 2 high chairs and plenty of kitchen seating. There were lots of supplies in the kitchen for cooking. I'm pretty sure there was Roku for the TV. I liked sitting on the back patio which overlooked a little pond. The pool was right across from the front of the house. The house was clean, the beds were comfortable, and we were very happy overall with our whole experience! It came with a golf cart for free for the first 24 hours. No complaints other than the rule that you couldn't drive on the beach because of COVID. We had to get a little creative but thankfully were close enough to the boardwalk that we were able to just lug all our stuff to the beach rather than drive down there. Also I just can't say enough good things about Life in Paradise and my experience working with them! I called so many times with COVID related questions and had to reschedule my trip 3 times. They were so easy to work with and so easy to get a hold of which is hard to find with rental companies. So thank you for being so helpful! They also told me that I can save a good chunk of change by booking straight with them as opposed to booking through VRBO. VRBO charges a fee of like $140 but if you book straight through Life in Paradise you don't have to pay that. So I was really happy to hear that little tip! Thanks again!

Poorly managed nice house

We needed a large house for our family to stay. There are 11 of us so our choices were few. We had a trip to Hawaii cancelled and since everyone had the time off, we decided we wanted to do a beach house together. This house was great in size and floor plan. Its 3 levels accommodated us very well. The trouble with it, is the listing is very confusing and the reviews do not make you want to rent it. My husband and I decided based on the reviews we could clean if it would accommodate our family. So I took along cleaning products and we bought a swiffer to clean the floors. Unfortunately, we definitely needed the cleaning supplies in order to bring it up to acceptable before our family arrived. We didn't get the floors done before their arrival and my grandsons feet were black from the floors. It was disgusting! I had to wash the sheets from one of the beds, because the wrinkles were sleeping wrinkles, not folded wrinkles, clearly that bed was not changed. Now for the really bad stuff. My small (adult) daughter sat on the edge of the Master bedroom bed and it collapsed. When we looked under neath the braces across the frame were ALL broken and one of the box springs were busted up. She did not do that from barely sitting on the edge. There was a paint can holding up part of the broken boards from a prior break. We called and they traded out one of the box springs and put in 4 cross boards. (on a king size bed) That night when my husband and I slept in the bed, it sagged in the middle. They hadn't put in any floor braces. So 4 small cross boards was the only thing holding up 3 mattresses. We called the next morning and my husband told them what we needed to fix it. The master faucet on the bath tub doesn't work and the managing company said the owners wont fix it. Many light bulbs were burned out, a drawer was broken and not fixed and put back in, so the contents were put on the kitchen counter. The carpet on the stairs is EXTREMELY dirty. The front door was black from mold and hands. I spent the first bit cleaning the front. With COVID being a thing, this house is not clean for a regular stay let alone a little extra for the COVID times we live in. I would only stay here if you need a large house, close walk to the beach. Otherwise I would not recommend it. Its too bad because the neighborhood is very nice, its across from the pool and a short walk to the beach. I have to end by saying, our family is not a super picky!
