Absolutely the best VRBO in all of Port Aransas, Texas. Melanie, the owner, Was very hospitable. The house looked even better than the pictures online. Our group had just such a fun time. The location was perfect, we were within walking distance from every major restaurant, bar, and beach. We will definitely be coming back!!
Perfect house for a big group of people. House floor plan is laid out great and there’s separation between adults and kids between the upstairs and downstairs which is nice! I’ll be renting this place again for sure.
Very nice place!! Had a group of 12 guys for a fishing trip and the place was perfect!!! Great location, walking distance from most places you want to go to.
The property was perfect for my little dog. Because we had all the family there, we lack on parking in the driveway.Understandable. Rooms were clean, only wish we had more towels available and extra blankets. It got cold one night. Other than the 3 bulbs out in the master bath and two in the guest bath out, everything was fine.
We really enjoyed our stay! The house suited us well. There were a couple things that were broken (bed post, laundry room door, etc) but did not affect anything. The down stairs bathrooms have some pretty big step ups into the shower/bathroom which was tough for our elderly family member but figured that out! The location is nice and quiet too!
Melanie, thanks for the weekend stay. After the bumps in the road in The beginning the response was exceptional. We really appreciate the help and problem solving. Thanks for helping us have a great trip.
We came here for a new years vacay to bring in 2025. The overall experience was great, the hospitality and communication the owner provided was amazing. The property is beautiful and big enough to be comfortable with a bigger family. The location is convenient for everywhere you need to go.We hope to stay here again in the future!

Loved the fire pit in the backyard!
We had the best time and loved the game room! We will definitely stay here again. The house was perfect and lots of room.
This house was perfect for what we wanted. Super nice and clean and plenty of beds to house multiple families. The location was great too. 2-4 min. Golf cart ride to the store and 5 or less to the beach! Will def be staying here again.

Perfect get away! More than enough room for my family and the distance to everything was extremely close! Melanie was great and had everything covered for our trip! Everything we needed was available! Would definitely recommend for any family!
My family certainly enjoyed our stay over Thanksgiving. Plenty of room, great kitchen and space for everyone to with gather or find their own solitude for awhile. Fire pit in back yard was an added bonus. Will look forward to doing it again.

Sheets had not been changed, downstairs was dirty, rotten tomato in downstairs fridge, large roaches!!! I will say when I let them know they called an exterminator and had someone come and change the sheets.
I was looking for a place to celebrate my 70th birthday with my precious family! This turned out to be the prefect place for us to gather. My grandkids had a great time in the play room. We made beautiful memories!
The property is conveniently located in the middle of town but you’d never know- it’s somehow very quiet. Plenty of space for 3-4 vehicles to park comfortably. We maxed out the occupancy with three families but there was plenty of space for hanging out and playing. The sleeping spaces for adults were a little difficult to configure but it works fine for three pairs of adults plus kids.
There were 13 of us (family & friends) that stayed at this spacious house. We loved having the split level lodging, 2 kitchens, plenty of bathrooms, and took full advantage of the game room. The owner was great to work with and the check in/out procedures were simple. We felt comfortable going for walks and jogs around the neighborhood each morning and enjoyed walking to eat a couple of times. We will be booking here again on our next trip to Port A!
This was our 2nd Christmas here and the house did not disappoint! Communication was awesome, and everything was great. The house is perfect for families looking to get away and spend time together, while allowing everyone to have their own quiet areas as well. Very comfortable and inviting. We love Port Aransas and this house is in a great location. We can't wait to return!
What a great house. We can not express how great of a house this is. We do our Our Adult only Vacation yearly and this was by far the best house we’ve rented. So spacious for 5 couples, we can’t wait to come back and bring our kids to enjoy the house. The beds and sofas are so comfortable and is a perfect location to explore Port A. The hostess is wonderful and kept us well informed. Thank you for sharing your home with us!
We had a great time and would definitely go again ! Host was excellent and always available for any questions we had about our stay. We loved the layout of the house it provided privacy needed for two families. The house is walking distance to many restaurants and bars. We walked to the fishing pier which is around a mile away. The kitchen was beautiful and well equipped with cooking utensils. Needless to say we had a great time and would love to do it again!

What makes this property unique
The Home is located in the heart of Port A, close to the best restaurants, shopping, music venues, marina, beach and bars. You can walk or get on your golf cart and have access to so many locations because the home is located in the middle of the island. The home is set up for entertainment for family and friends with a pool table, foosball and a real tiki bar that seats 6 people. The home has big trees and on a dead-end street so no thru traffic. There is a lush yard with trees and a fire pit for evening entertainment. Numerous decks and patios to relax and enjoy the coastal breeze.
The Home is beautifully decorated and has multiple living areas to enjoy together or get away when you'd like some alone time. The home is like having two places because the downstairs is separated from the upstairs.
