This was a great place to stay with lots of room, a view of the ocean, and a very short, easy walk to the beach! Our host,Steve, provided good information and instructions and was quick with reponses to any questions. The opportunity to rent Beach Gear bikes and a trailer were a wonderful added bonus! It was exactly what we were looking for for our family vacation!

Thank you or the great review, and thanks for staying with us at Life in Paradise. We appreciate your business and look forward to seeing you again soon.
The property is awesome. Great sites and a great house. The a/c has to work hard to cool down the place but other than that it’s great

This is my second year staying at the home and it is absolutely amazing great view, easy access to the beach, everything near by (stores and souvenir shops, restaurants) my stay was great I have zero complaints.
When we arrived at the place we thought it was so cute, however, when we went downstairs, we noticed a strong odor which smelled very bad. However, one of the families was going to tough it out and stay down there, but upon further inspection, we noticed green mouse poop on the pillows, the bed, the floor & even notice some slightly larger animal poop upstairs. It’s unfortunate as we not only had children with us but also two of the women were pregnant. I wouldn’t expect anyone to sleep where mouse poop is, but it was especially unsettling with our young families. We called the host and they said there was another place they owned in the same area we could switch to, given the circumstances. It took a while for the cleaning/inspection person to check out that place before we got over there, but it ended up being way nicer and much cleaner than this house. We did end up still seeing some mouse poop at the new place in one of the clean towels that was rolled up in a drawer & a cockroach in the coffee maker, but we made the best of our stay. I appreciate the host for letting us switch houses and doing what they could to accommodate us. To be honest, the pink house (where we ended up staying) seemed much newer, cleaner & was a better layout for the kiddos anyways (less stairs). Overall we made the best of our stay but probably would not go back just due to the fact of the pests, having to switch late at night & having trouble contacting the host consistently after hours.

We love Knot 4 reel. It is a very nice 3 story home with a boardwalk to the beach. We have stayed here several times before & will do so in the future. This trip, the AC in the 2nd floor bedroom did not work. I'm sure this will be corrected.

Thank you for leaving a review. We are glad that you and your family had a great stay at this property and were able to take advantage of the boardwalk to the beach. The AC issue has been resolved. We appreciate your business and look forward to your next trip to Port A.

Amazing view and location. Hard to overstate this, we've never had a better location to town and the beach. Great Ocean view especially from second and third floors. Boardwalk to beach is literally outside the fence to the patio. Some foot traffic walking by, but everyone was pretty quiet. Never noticed any noise inside. Short golf cart ride to the heart of Port A. The house was nice and clean inside. We spent most of our time on second and third floors. Master BR is on the third floor. Few Small things not worth removing a star: Small drainage issue in the second floor shower. The de-humidifier in first floor had to be emptied daily. One split unit and a portable AC kept that 1st floor area cool. So it's fine, but keep an eye on the dehumidifier. Some random lumber next to the boardwalk wasn't great, but I don't know if that's the property's wood or HOA's. That charcoal grill has maybe 50% of the bottom rusted out in the middle. Some neighborhood construction noise off and on, but never a nuisance.

Thank you for your thoughtful and detailed review! We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed the amazing view and unbeatable location—being so close to the beach and town really does make for a special stay. It’s great to know you appreciated the clean and comfortable interior, as well as the stunning ocean views from the second and third floors.
We also appreciate your feedback on the small issues you encountered, like the second-floor shower drainage and the dehumidifier on the first floor. We’ll make sure to address these items to improve the experience for future guests. Thank you for pointing out the condition of the grill and the lumber near the boardwalk—we’ll look into these as well.
We’re so glad the minor inconveniences didn’t detract from your overall experience, and we hope to welcome you back for another relaxing stay in the future! -Life in Paradise Team
This was a great spot to stay for me and my family. Everybody had a spot to sleep, we were right next to the boardwalk so super easy access to the beach! The only trouble I ran to was getting into the house when we got there. We did everything we were supposed to but the little knob was giving us trouble. I honestly don't even know how we got it to work eventually. I will say I called the emergency line at 10 at night and they got back to me within 5 min so I appreciate that! As a recommendation, I think you guys should get a blender! I couldn't get the margarita machine to work lol but that's ok we didn't really neeed margaritas :)

Hello!
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We're thrilled to hear that you and your family had such a great time at our place and found the location next to the boardwalk so convenient for your beach adventures!
We're genuinely sorry about the hiccup you experienced with the entry knob upon your arrival. It sounds like it was a bit of a stubborn lock, but we're glad to know that our emergency team was able to respond to your call swiftly. We'll look into that right away to ensure it's more user-friendly for our future guests.
Also, your suggestion for a blender is fantastic – it's definitely an essential for those vacation margaritas (even if they're not strictly needed 😉). Please know that we'll be adding this to our list of amenities to consider for enhancing our guests' experience. Who knows, maybe by your next visit, you'll be enjoying those margaritas after all!
We truly appreciate you taking the time to give us feedback, and it’s recommendations like yours that help us improve. We can't wait to welcome you back for another stay (with hopefully zero lock troubles and a blender in tow!).
Warm regards,
Life in Paradise Team
Overall we had a wonderful stay! This location was right next to the boardwalk with great views of the beach. My husband and I stayed here during our wedding weekend and the house lived up to most of our expectations. The experience of sleeping with the A/C off, windows open, feeling an ocean breeze cannot be beat!
Only complaint that could be fixed by property managers fairly easily would be the unfinished bathroom upstairs (a little disappointing to have a washcloth shoved in an unfinished hole in the shower ceiling of the master bathroom). Additionally, there is quite a bit of construction going on around the area that will be in your view of the beach. No issues from a noise perspective, but you should be aware of both of these items going into booking when you spend this type of money on a place.
Definitely will be back, hopefully with all renovations completed by then!

Thank you for the review and the feedback. We hope to exceed your expectations on your next visit. Yes, there is so much construction going on around the island. The island will look different on your next visit. We look forward to see you.
The view of the water from the front porch was amazing. We had a lovely time enjoying our coffee with the sunrise. The beds were comfy and cozy, and we found everything we needed in the kitchen - as the property description was accurate.

We just wrapped up our fourth annual trip to Port Aransas. We’ve always had great experiences with the properties we’ve rented in the past, but this property was not a great experience. We saw a mouse in the kitchen.The door handle to the lower level was broken.The main-level shower wouldn’t allow us to adjust the water temperature.The outdoor hose was broken. While a replacement was brought to us, the old hose couldn’t be removed by hand.There was a significant amount of hair in the bedsheets on the top level.When we arrived, the cleaning crew was still finishing up, the inside stairs hadn’t yet been cleaned.There were no trash bags provided for the kitchen.We found a dead cockroach on the floor when we arrived.The basement door leading to the garage was left ajar.The thermostat was set to 77F upon arrival, making the home uncomfortably warm at first.Many of the rugs were heavily stained and had burrs or stickers embedded in them.The toilet paper holder in the lower-level bathroom was broken. Lower level was smelled like mold. I do not recommend staying here.
This was our first time to stay at Knot 4 Reel. Overall we loved the house and the location was perfect.
The house could have been more thoroughly cleaned. So many things are crammed in the closets and the kitchen cabinets were overflowing with gadgets that you really don't need. The kitchen is great space, but a true hodge podge of stuff. We might have had 7 forks?!!! For the amount of money you spend to stay here, the property management company could surely do a better job of preparing the place for their guests.
Our family had a great time and we will probably be back, but I'd love to see the management team step it up!
We had a large family reunion, ages from adults down to infants. The three levels have everyone their own space. Only negative was the second floor bedroom stayed warm. I saw this issue in other reviews as well. We would definitely go back.
We had a nice stay in Port A. The house was large and as described. It was very close to the beach with a private access directly to the boardwalk. For the price we paid though I was surprised of issues with the property which included roaches, sliding door wouldn’t lock, shower head in Master BR falling out, pans in kitchen were covered in baked on food, there were no drapes on second floor window, no window covering on first floor bedroom window which overlooks walkway to beach, there was a broken window that had been taped, an emergency AC was added to cool off the first floor but it was still hot and there was a large hole in the sofa arm of the sofa on the first floor. The WiFi was horrible. However, it was a comfortable and very convenient beach home. Just needs a little TLC for the price that was paid.
We had a wonderful time. The view and access to the beach was amazing. They delivered our golf cart rentals directly to the property with a full tank of gas. We did have one issue, but they addressed the issue quickly. We will definitely rent from Life in Paradise again!
Really liked the 3 levels to separate the 3 families when sleeping. Overall it was nice but there was some more wear and tear to walls and showers that were not shown in the pictures. The cleaning was sufficient but not outstanding as there were a pair of shoes left under a bed, what looked like dog treats under the couch and larger noodle crumbs on the kitchen floor. The property manager was easy to communicate with and the location was perfect as it was right next to the boardwalk to the beach.
We booked this property and then Hurricane Hanna came through. The property held up nice. It was clean, has great views and access to the beach. Despite the hurricane it was a great experience.
