Awesome home and beach!
We loved our time in this home! It was comfy and right on a wonderful very clean beach. It's close to Port Aransas for dining and groceries. We enjoyed the pool. We loved that we could bring our fur baby. We used the garage for our car, which was a plus since I also brought my bike. I rode the coastal highway each day. We will return and bring family.

Great Location
This place is right on the beach. Loved sitting on either deck to watch and listen to the waves. The dune walkover is very close and easy to get access to the beach. The house is very simple and suited our needs perfectly. We brought our dog and he loved sitting on the deck too.

The location is awesome! It was wonderful to look out the window or sit on either deck and look straight out to the gulf. We could hear the waves even at night. The sun rose right in front of us. The place was the right size and layout.

Quick getaway!
Our stay was wonderful! The location of this property is perfect. A quiet spot, but not too far from “shopping”. The house was stocked with all you need and it was clean and neat. The mattresses slept very comfortable. It was our puppy’s first beach visit, he thought it was heaven! We’ll be back! Note: The lock on the front door has issues opening, maybe the owners should replace that. Vacasa did help us swiftly when we phoned.

Best View on the Island!
Came for a quick getaway with our kids. Property met all our needs. Hands down the best thing was the view. EXACTLY what we hoped for! Coffee on the deck every morning steps from the ocean. Completely unobstructed views and so close you can hear the waves crashing. It was perfect! The boardwalk was just one house over, so close and easy to bounce back and forth to the house. One thing not mentioned in the description of the property was that the house has a garage that was full of chairs, beach toys, even a wagon. That was a nice surprise. Would definitely rent this exact home again!

Great Location
This is probably the closest we have ever been to the beach when staying in Port A. The decks were perfect for hanging out, and overall the house was in pretty good shape. Dishwasher having some issue, and master sink draining very slow, but everything else seemed fine. Seems like previous renters have not done a good job cleaning beach chairs and items after use, so much of that stuff is pretty worn. This one is all about location, literally right off the beach with instant access to the water, not sure you could get better access.

Relaxing beach vacation
My husband and I enjoyed our week at the Port A beach house. The house is a little older and smaller than it looked in the pictures, but it was clean and very comfortable. The kitchen is very well-stocked with equipment for cooking in the house (desirable during a pandemic!), and the living room is great for reading and relaxing. Best of all, the decks off the living room and master bedroom were marvelous for sitting in or out of the sun when we were not strolling on the beach. Social distancing was easy as there were only a few other people and vehicles on the sand. When we did go to stores and restaurants, people were masked and being careful. We would be happy to return to the house in the future.

Pelican watching from a beachside deck
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really enjoyed our stay at this vacation home. Yes, it really is right on the beach. The views from the main and upper decks are fantastic. The house was very clean upon arrival. The kitchen contained all the utensils needed to prepare our meals. This stretch of beach was very quiet during our stay, because the house is not located in the city, and yet it was only a short drive to Port Aransas to the north and Corpus Christi to the south. Finally, communications with the management company before, during and after our stay ensured that our visit to this vacation home was stress-free.

Not all bad…
Starting with the positive 1. Views were AMAZING 2. Mattresses were comfortable 3. Great patio space 4. Surprisingly the floors weren’t sandy 5. Plenty of towels Unfortunately i was otherwise disappointed. All intake vents were BEYOND caked with hair and dust. Besides the cabinets and countertops being updated in the bathrooms the showers and bath were very old and dingy. The master bath walls and fan had layers of dust (spent time wiping down the walls and the top of shower) I hated that I needed to deep clean this house to feel comfortable and clean. The dust was so thick on some things it was as if it were sprayed on like insulation. I ended up cleaning the vent in the living room as well. Just super irritating that it wasn’t better taken care of. Has potential…

Nice location, home had issues
Just before arriving we got a message that there was a water leak, but they said it would be fixed. They did have it fixed, but the ceiling where they fixed it looked terrible. Guess a temporary fix. Then there was a smell in the home like we were in a basement, must have been from the water leak (moldy smell) all the time we were there. Also the stairway to the main floor had a big hole in it. We responded about those problems when we got there and they said they would come resolve the problem, but we didn't want interruptions since this was a very short family get together. Also we had two groups contacting us ( local staff and someone else) on this rental and we had a hard time figuring out who was who ( different phone numbers for text contacts) and which one was our primary contact. One group didn't even know about the issues with home when we responded to their text. The location was very nice and quiet, just a lot of issues with home. We were surprised with all these issues, we still paid full price.
