This is our second time staying at Brucie's. The house is so great. So much room for everyone to spread out. Love the kitchen and dining for enjoying our home cooked meals each evening. The walk to the beach is short and sweet with the boardwalk at the end of the road. We really like working with the management, New Waves Vacation Rentals. Easy check in process and excellent communication. Look forward to our next adventure!

We had a wonderful time staying in this beautiful house. The location is great, away from busy Port A but close enough. Just hanging out in the house with lightening fast Wi-Fi was very enjoyable.

The house is accurate to the listing and very clean! Beds were comfortable and basics for cooking in the kitchen were available. Plenty of room for our group to hang out both inside and outside, and it was a short walk to the beach. Would stay again!

Thank you for the feedback Christopher and for staying with us! We apologize greatly about the patio chairs. We do ask our guests to let us know of any issues during their stay so we can get them fixed right away for you. With that being said, the chairs are getting replaced and will be good for your next stay!! Thank you again!
Easy access to the beach for long walks. Nice views of the sunsets from the third floor balconies. Nice coffee maker🤗 and a cold fridge! It was a short stay and overall a very good experience. However we could not locate a broom. If we were staying longer finding the broom would have become a priority - it is a beach property. Would definitely recommend the stay for families. Good space to spread out and still feel connected.

Nice house with plenty of space and equipped with a great kitchen. If you like to cook and consider yourself a foodie you will enjoy two kitchens “ one in the 3rd floor and one in the rooftop” and all the cookware you need to prep , cook and create great meals for the family. This home also provides a nice view of the backside of the island. Views of the airport and skydivers nonstop as well as a marina view. Good place to escape and only about a mile away from the beach.

Our family loved staying in this beautiful house. Huge house with at least 5 balconies with one large wrap around balcony. Rent a golf cart and the beach is a short fun ride away down the board walk!! The outside is well maintained and nice as well. A little issue with the elevator but two nice men showed up quickly to fix it! Great stay!!

Randy, Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that your family loved staying in our beautiful house and enjoyed the spaciousness, balconies, and proximity to the beach via the golf cart ride down the boardwalk. We're glad our team promptly resolved the issue with the elevator and that it didn't detract from your overall experience.
We look forward to welcoming you back for another great stay in the future!
We very much enjoyed our stay at Port Aransas at the Bruce's Bungalow property. The house is very clean and comfortable, with views of the Gulf of Mexico and the music of the waves at night. It is very conveniently located, just outside the bustle of Port Aransas and with no very near neighbors, with easy acess to the beach, but very close to Port Aransas and Corpus Christi attractions and services. Most important to us was it's proximity to the National Seashore on North Padre Island and to the wonderful Aransas National Wildlife Refuge. New Wave, the management company, was very easy to reach for any questions and advice. We highly recommend this site.

The home is off the beaten path of Port A and is about 4-5 miles away from the downtown area. Nice home and clean. Beds were quite comfortable. The only downside was that we were there after a storm and the mosquitos were difficult. Property management rocks on this one as they went above and beyond just managing this asset.

We appreciate your feedback and look forward to hosting you again in the future!
Its a little father from the beach than my old self liked to walk, so we drove down to the end of the boardwalk and walked in from there.
There were some things that could have used more information (a sound system in the house we had no idea how to use, an outdoor shower we in back of the house we didn't find until the 3rd day, a VERY finicky elevator), the complete lack of any seating on the bedroom floor (1-2 chairs would be nice), and no seating on the master suite balcony.
All in all, though, once we got used to the place, it was a great stay.

Everything was great. Cleaners had to return on day two to clean again. Showers and tile floors where not cleaned. Normal wear and tear but nothing out of the ordinary. Wish I could of giving it a 5 but that is perfection and this unit was not perfect but darn near it. We will stay again and recommend to others
