The location was very convenient, with easy access to the pool and a well-stocked kitchen which made meals simple to manage. Unfortunately, the hygiene and cleanliness aspects were a complete disappointment, which is especially concerning when traveling with a toddler.On arrival, we found a used tampon near our bedroom nightstand, dead roaches and sand throughout the floor and in the master bath spa tub, and even live roaches in the kitchen. The mattresses were also mediocre and not very comfortable.While the property has potential due to its location and amenities, the lack of cleanliness made it difficult to enjoy our stay.
First time to Port A and family had a great time. This townhome was great and had everything we needed; well appointed kitchen as we cooked most of our meals. It was next to the pool which was a plus. We rented a golf cart which made trips to the beach convenient. Would definitely go here again.
This was a great stay! Good location with a pool conveniently located right next to it. The house size was perfect. Could use some extra detail cleaning but all in all was a perfect fit for us!
Location: where we thought it might be and walking distance to beach was accurate.
Condo: smelled like sewer when we first entered, just in the entry way. Water pressure for showers was very low. Washer/Dryer & Dishwasher needs to be updated, very dirty. Master bathroom roof leak. Condo is located next to the small pool, so be prepared for noise. Master bedroom bed, needs to be replaced. Reason itâs been very used, you sink right into the mattress.
We are picky when it comes to paying and staying at Vrbo condos bc of the fees you have to pay for a stay are ridiculous. So to get your monies worth you want a place to stay where you get a great experience. This was not it for us unfortunately.
Itâs not terrible but it could be better.
If you enjoy a place close to town and the action, Carlâs Isle is the place for you. Nice dog friendly place with convenient doggie bags and containers in the dog walking areas for disposing of dog waste.
We usually spend the day under a canopy on the beach and itâs a bit of a drive past wooden posts that designate a car free zone before you can drive closer to the water to set up the canopy. Then if you want to drive back to the condo or town for lunch, your spot will be gone so pack a lunch if you plan to stay all day. This is a very crowded part of Mustang island, so finding a good spot on the weekend takes a little patience. In the past, we have stayed more in the center of Mustang Island where itâs not so crowded so this was a bit of a surprise. However, the beach at Port A is very clean with numerous trash containers and porta potties.
Carlâs Isle is a corner unit with a large deck for relaxing or eating a meal, so you get the ocean breezes even though you canât see the sea. It is only a short walk though. The kitchen has no mixing bowls nor strainer for pasta water that we could find, but itâs easy to make do and the kitchen is otherwise well equipped. Nice stove and microwave plus good coffee maker. The frig has no ice maker nor ice trays, so pick up a big bag of ice on the way there. Through our own fault we could not find some things in the kitchen like dish towels and pot holders and management immediately sent a woman from the cleaning staff over. We appreciated her friendliness and good humor as she showed us where the items actually were.
The doors to the outside are pretty difficult to open both leading into the house and out to to the deck upstairs. However every home has its quirks, even my own. All in all, youâll find Carlâs Isle both spacious and clean. We enjoyed our stay.
