Nicest place in Old Town.

Thank you, Mike and Company, for the pleasure of our stay at your home. It was so well decorated and comfortable for our daughters and us. I will put on our radar to rent again. Perfect time with friends and family.

Our getaway

Our stay was wonderful , the weather played tricks but didn't interfere just made it interesting. The area is quiet and away from traffic yet accessible to everything. The home itself was beautifully decorated, lots of room both inside and outside for entertaining. We enjoyed every minute spent there and hope to be able to return and enjoy it again. Thank You Mike for being a great host !

Wonderful Weekend

Truly enjoyed this property. We had the main house to ourselves while our sons were staying at the detached cottage. Both buildings were spotless and nicely decorated. Lots of personal touches. You can tell that owners use the property as well. If we go back to Port A , we would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend for families or group of friends.

Great find

We loved our stay. We traveled with grandparents so the minimal stairs for entrance was great and a hard to find feature in the area. The large fenced backyard is a plus for dogs. The location was excellent and the house was well stocked with everything we needed and then some. They even had extra beach towels and chairs. I wasn’t provided with a passcode for entry ahead of time but their response was quick and didn’t delay us gaining entry. We will definitely book again if it’s available when we return next summer.

Perfect month get away!

When we were looking for a place to rent for a month we wanted somewhere that would be comfortable for us and our family/friends that would be coming to visit. This place was perfect! Everyone who came to stay with us or Island friends who popped by for drinks on the Patio loved it as much as we did. The home/cottage were both clean, neat and well maintained. Mike/Debbie and Tom are wonderful to rent from as well. They checked on us several times to ensure our visit was going well and always responded quickly when we’d send a text with a question. The kitchen is well appointed with many staples needed to cook your fresh Seafood. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were well stocked. The Patio is it’s own vacation get away with a Bar, TV and Smoker/Grill. Many hours were spent out there relaxing reading, listening to music and enjoying a cold beverage while grilling. Majority of the restaurants on the island are within walking distance of the house and the beach is so close you can hear the waves crashing on the shore. Perfect home, perfect location, wonderful host. Thank you for sharing your lovely slice of paradise with us!

Great place to stay!

This place is great, it’s located in such a perfect area. Close to the beach and shops. It’s extremely clean and has everything you need, even down to the beach towels, which thank goodness because we forgot ours. It’s a nice quiet street. Our little Lucy even barked at a couple neighbors, she’s not use to the quiet where we live. Lol I loved the neighborhood, we got our run in every morning. The little house next door, it gave our son and his wife their privacy. Mike’s place will not disappoint for sure. We are already making our family plans for next year, and hopefully we can stay here again. Janie Gatlin and family.

We truly liked and enjoyed the property. Plenty of room, especially with the garage being converted into a studio like space. The back patio area, with TV, bar counter, and sitting area was a big plus. Very well furnished and decorated. Close to beach, stores, restaurants, and other tourist sites. Owner was accessible and friendly. We will surely keep this property in mind when we return to Port Aransan.

Great property for our family vacation!

The property was just right for our family vacation. Well appointed and easy access to the beach! Kids walked to get ice cream. Back porch was great to wash the sand off (outside shower!), listen to some tunes and fire up the grill! Thanks!!!

simply the best

I almost don't want to review because I want to keep this gem a secret! Easiest rental process ever. SPoke with one owner on the phone a couple times and met the other owner in person on our last day. They were very accommodating (pun intended). This property was perfect for our trip - beautiful house, great location for what we like, and that patio. Oh my, we did NOT want to go home on Saturday! We will definitely be back for another stay.

Can't wait to go back

When we saw the pictures, we knew it was going to be a great spot. We've typically stayed further from town, and I won't make that mistake again. Even with COVID going on, the house was perfect to hang out in the mornings, afternoons, and into the night. Great spot to entertain out back, and the cottage is nice as the night goes longer to keep it down for the neighbors. The house was in great condition with all updated bathrooms and amenities you can think of. We are definitely coming back and staying here!

Great stay in Port Aransas

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this great property in Port Aransas. The home is in the middle of many things to do; close to restaurants and a short golf cart ride to the beach but it's also in a quiet neighborhood allowing us to really enjoy sitting on the front porch as well as the back covered patio. The home is beautifully decorated and remodeled and was extremely clean and well cared for. It has everything you need for a great stay! We would definitely recommend it and certainly would rent again. Thanks for your hospitality!

Everything was perfect. A warm and inviting home that was clean and so well equipped with everything

The property was wonderful. This was our third time to stay here and each time is better than the last. It was clean and inviting. It had all the necessities and even extra little things to make our stay perfect. The patio was excellent and so inviting. We are hoping to stay here again in the summer.

Chic island home in great central location

This is a super-cute chic cottage, very well appointed/maintained with all of the conveniences (plus a few more) that one might expect in a “home away from home”. From the comfortable beds to the clean and tastefully modern bathrooms I truly felt right at home throughout my one month stay. The open plan living room and kitchen is both well laid out and complimented with newer appliances along with everything you might need should you decide to “dine in” one evening. The covered and private patio to the rear of the property is a real gem and a great place to hang out for a morning coffee or evening cocktail. The house sits on a very quiet street and yet is only a few easy blocks to old town restaraunts, shopping and entertainment. The property owner/manager was very responsive, courteous and a real pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend this property and look forward to staying again on my next visit to Port A!

About the host

Hosted by Mike Whittington

This is our home away at the coast. We enjoy getting to know our guests and most are repeats. It has become home away to many of our guests as well.

Why they chose this property

This house is on a really great street away from all of the crazy rentals further south. It is in a more quiet and secure area nestled behind the UT property on the North end of the beach. For a combination of quiet and walking access to entertainment it can’t be beat. A truly unique and historical property.
