Loved our stay here, property and amenities were amazing for our family with littles. Check in process could have been better but overall was an excellent vacation and we had the best time here.
We were a family of 3 generations. It would have been nice to have another big bed instead of doubles but we made do. The pool and hot tub were a wonderful bonus. I was able to do water aerobics every morning without interruption except when the family decided to join me. Definitely recommend this place

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're so glad your three generations were able to enjoy time together and that the pool and hot tub were such a highlight—your morning water aerobics sound like a great way to start the day! We appreciate your feedback about the bedding and will be sure to share it with the team. Thank you for the recommendation, and we hope to welcome your family back for another unforgettable island getaway!
This property was a 10 out of 10 for location and views. You could see the ocean from the living room, dining room and kitchen. You could walk to the boardwalk within two minutes and the lovely pool was only a minute away. Unfortunately the house itself is in need of major repairs and a facelift. When we walked in it was incredibly musty. There was a large hole in the baseboard of the master bathroom that allowed roaches in. There's another hole in the baseboard in the kitchen. The kitchen sink and shower floors were old and discolored. The heating element of the dryer was not working. Lastly there was practically nothing stocked in the house. No cooking oil, leftover Italian seasoning, foil, etc. You better bring all your own stuff. All in all this felt like a notch up above glamping. I do think we paid too much for what we got at the end of the day.
Family loves it. Will be first choice for years to come.

Thank you for the 5-star review! We’re so happy to hear your family loved it and that it will be your first choice for years to come. We look forward to welcoming you back again and again!
The laundry machines and detergent were such a lifesaver. The kids loved the little play kitchen!

Liked: Location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Check-in
Great Location, But Property and Management Fall ShortOverall, this property was just an okay place to stay. While the location is fantastic—situated right on the beach with a convenient private boardwalk—the property itself is dated and in desperate need of renovation, particularly the kitchen and bathrooms. For instance, the master bathroom features a spacious shower, but the hardware and showerhead badly need replacement as the water sprays everywhere. Unfortunately, the management company showed little urgency or effort. I had to call repeatedly before our arrival just to get our lease agreement verified for check-in. Furthermore, while check-out is strictly at 11:00 AM, we were told check-in at 4:00 PM was not guaranteed. We didn't receive the cleaning all-clear until 5:30 PM. Despite the six-and-a-half-hour turnaround, the property wasn't even fully clean; we found sand on the floor and sticky tables upon entry.Ultimately, you are paying for the premium location rather than the quality of the accommodation. I have stayed in much nicer properties for less money, featuring far better management and communication. I highly recommend shopping around for a better property in the area before settling on this one.

Thank you for the fantastic review! We're so glad to hear that the home had everything you needed for a great Port Aransas getaway. It’s wonderful that the layout worked well for your family, and that you enjoyed the pool and close beach access. We also appreciate your kind words about our team—we’re always happy to help! We’d love to have you back for another stay soon!
The house was a perfect location to the pool and beach. The beach was a lot more quiet off the boardwalk from the house then in town, which was perfect! The patio overlooked the ocean, plenty of space, and plenty of seating. The neighborhood was gorgeous, quiet, and safe. The house next door had construction, which was a little loud on the weekdays but we understood and know this is not the hosts fault. Communication was good. Took a little after 4pm to check in, the code and information to get into the home was sent to us after a quick text to them. Check out was simple. Highly recommend this place, you will not be disappointed!!!
Great place to stay, very easy walk to beach and pool. Pool and hot tub area was very nice. House was comfortable, great for a larger group with a giant comfy sofa and plenty of beds. Good kitchen as well. Loved having an ice maker!

We're so glad you enjoyed the easy beach access and the pool and hot tub area. It sounds like the home was a great fit for your group, with plenty of space to spread out, relax, and spend time together.
We're happy to hear the kitchen had everything you needed, and we agree—an ice maker is always a vacation bonus, especially after a day at the beach!
