First Family Vacation

Location and size is great for a small family. I do have a couple of pros and cons. Cons: the pool lights and outdoor lighting did not work at all. We would love to go for a late swim but it was too dark. Also the bathroom sink was leaking pretty bad we had to use a towel soak up the water. I would’ve been nice to be made aware that they were having an outside vendor coming to home. A pest control company came to the house to service monthly service and showed up around 7:45am. My kids were just waking up and my husband was still asleep. At least a heads up would’ve been great. Lastly we had A LOT of sugar ants in the kitchen. Especially by the stove and kitchen sink. I couldn’t leave my daughters bottle after I wash them on the counter with out them getting full of ants. I would suggest to find the source and treat it before renting out the house so someone else. The bed in the primary room was super small and uncomfortable. Pros: the private pool was amazing and huge. Location was great I feel like we were right in the middle of town. Everything was close by. The beach was 5 min drive which is not bad at all. Price was great compared to everyone around us and the amenities. I would love to stay here again in the future if all the recommendations are made.

Nice beach home. Exterior lighting needs to be fixed or replaced.

Down by the sea was a fun house to spend a few nights for our kids fall break. It was close to restaurants and a short drive to the ocean. The pool was well kept. The kids loved the outdoor shower. The exterior lighting needs to be fixed or replaced.

I loved the private pool, the outdoor sink and grill. The only thing I’ll nit pick about is the bathroom toilet, it worked fine, the lid just didn’t close right and almost fell off. That’s the only thing. Other than that, it was wonderful!

Great stay

Overall we enjoyed the stay. There are some issues that need to be fixed as others have said in their reviews. Since they haven’t been fixed yet, I am not sure they will get fixed. The light in the bathroom downstairs does not work. The dryer is REALLY loud. If you plan on using the dryer don’t plan on watching tv or having a conversation while the dryer is running. The bar stools are wobbly. The front door doesn’t latch properly so you have to put some pressure on it to shut it. I did enjoy my stay but these are a few things that could be fixed to make this house so much better.

Loved the house!!!

First let me start by saying that we loved the house and I would definitely stay again. There was just a couple of things that needed attention. The blender in the kitchen didn't work. The lights in the pool didn't turn on and part of the outside lights did not turn on. Also the bathroom downstairs light didn't turn on either and the sink plug didn't want to go up to drain water. We bbq and one of the knobs on the bbq was missing. The ac around 2pm would get up the 80 and it would get very hot.when it was set at 70,but then at night it would start to cool down. The TV in the guess room didn't work, said no connection.

Great location and service, property needs maintenance

We had a great stay with our family and dog. The property was clean and in a central location in Port Aransas, just a stone's throw from the grocery store and other restaurants, stores, etc. We enjoyed the pool, the outside grill, and the kitchen area, and we appreciated the televisions when it rained! When we arrived, none of the exterior lights worked, which prevented us from using the space at night, and it was a security concern taking the dog out at night. The gate to the backyard did not close properly, so we had to devise a way to close it to ensure the dog stayed in the yard. The customer service and property manager were attentive to addressing the issues, but we had to spend the first three nights without these issues being addressed since it was the weekend. We were present when the property manager and electrician came to address the lights. They also decided it would be a good time to have a plumber out to find a possible leak causing the water bill to be too high. They fixed a few exterior lights under the carport and the gate. The pool company never came to fix the pool lights, so night swimming was not an option for us. I would love to stay here again, but I would want everything to be in working order and not have to alert the property manager or homeowner to fix things.

Enjoyable pool house that allows pets

We stayed two nights in the middle of July during the weekday. The house itself is comfy and quaint. The house could use a little sprucing up and a deep clean. The windows could use a good wash. Overall the house was clean. We could not figure out how to turn on the pool lights so we can swim at night. There was enough light from the downstairs patio area to light up the pool area but it would have been nice to have more light inside the pool. Both fan porch lights did not light either. There was a fog light at the top of the porch but it would blink on/off and it was annoying. I did reach out to vacasa customer service that night and they tried to assist via their text service but when they couldn't figure it out either, they told me they would send someone over the next day and no one ever stopped by. I did not use the outside grill but there is a picnic table at the downstairs patio. The outdoor shower was nice but again, the light was not working. There is a washer and dryer in the kitchen area that we used but the dryer is extremely loud and shakes. The washer worked great with no issues. Overall, it was an enjoyable stay except for the feedback that I provided.

Great Island Stay!

The house was exactly as described! My kids loved the pool. The house was comfortable and clean. The outdoor bathroom was a nice touch. There was a storm and the power went out and I was able to immediately contact the property management about this. The power went back on and I was I touch with the property management the whole time! Would stay again!

Will come again

The property owner was very communicative. The property was also quite clean. We would love to stay here again in the future. Admittedly the house internally appeared a bit dated, and the trim of the door inside/outside (main entrance of the house) was very scuffed up, but the door locked well and that is what matters. The toilet lid was cracked upon arrival > I notified the owner right away > they responded.

Nice home with private pool

This is our second time staying in this house. Home was clean and well stocked with linens, towels, and kitchen items. Private pool is great after day at the beach. Some outdoor lighting including pool, stairs, and restroom were not functioning this time but we still enjoyed our time there.

It is a shame that this house is managed by Vacasa. They do not honor veteran or military discounts. Altogether the house is lovely however, the customer service and nightly rates could have been much better.

It was nice overall, things to consider if it’s not summer there is not an additional bathroom downstairs :/ i mean con on…… the BBQ has seen better days and needs some new parts or to be replaced. The kitchen living room is a lot bigger than the pictures give them credit. We would stay again.

Great house for a family

The place is great for a family or a group of friends. We cooked a few meals, skateboarded to the beach and found the neighborhood to be quiet and very chill. The bar had plenty of seating with a nice size kitchen. Bathroom had a big tub for soak and an odd functioning sink. Downstairs shower wasn’t functional for us. Pool was great with outdoor kitchen area for bbq and hangs. Stairs are a bit dangerous so be careful. Over all super cute and would come back.

Great space with pool

Enjoyed the weekend with two kids. Space was perfect for our family of four. Having private pool (although a little cold due to time of year) was still a great way to relax after the beach. Property stocked with towels and toiletries was a plus. Plenty of Bunk beds to choose from was fun for kids as well. Plenty of parking and close to most shops and restaurants. Would definitely book again. Thanks!
