This place was adorable and quaint!
Perfect little cottage for a weekend getaway with husband & my fur babies! I think the outdoor private shower was my favorite cause it had long lasting hot water! The yard was safe and secure for my pets. We all felt safe and comfortable. The sunroom/screened in porch was my 2nd favorite but next time I will bring a fan for air flow. Communication with host 5 ⭐️

Great efficiency
The efficiency has a cottage feel - but is attached to a small house. It has a separate driveway. It is in a great location close to all the attractions of old Port A from food to beach to shops. I had no issues and can recommend the accommodation.

Property was not as pictured. Beautiful wide door featured in most interior pics has been replaced with narrow dark barred wooden door that lets little light into this mostly windowless studio. Management company was aware of bait and switch, but said it was not fraud.

Great Couples Get Away in Port A
This property was perfect for us as a couple on a week long stay in the Port Aransas area. We wanted a location fairly close to the beach and shops, yet the neighborhood felt very quiet. The house was on the small size, which we knew when booking, but there was also a small private outdoor space available and a screened porch. Several amenities were provided on our arrival which was appreciated so we could settle in right away without needing to shop. The kitchen was a great size for preparing our own meals when we wanted. The bed was comfortable. The management company was easy to communicate with and helped us arrange to pick up keys after hours. We loved our stay and would stay here again.

Had some pros and cons
Pros: short walk to the beach and drive-on access. Dog friendly-we stayed with our 2 dogs. Fenced in yard. Affordable. Kitchen was well stocked with enough to make breakfast, knife to cut a watermelon and Tupperware to store it. Very small unit but still doable for short weekend. Cons: sleep was uncomfortable due to ac unit never feeling cool enough. Felt like there was sand in the bed immediately after getting into them, even after knocking the sand off my feet from the floors. Laundry facility had roaches all in it and we didn't even know where it was located at first. Water pressure in kitchen sink was probably less than 50%. Shower head had water coming out of all the cracks and seemed as if it were going to pop out of the wall if you weren't careful adjusting. Our check in was at 4. We got the keys at 3:55, got to the unit right after 4 and maid service was still there so we had to wait to get in. Baseboards, fans, AC vents all covered in dust. Don't recommend for longer than a 2 night stay. We were just thankful to find a place on July4th weekend that was dog friendly, closer to the water, and affordable.

Cute place, nice amenities
Though a little smaller than expected we adjusted easily and LOVED our stay. We will likely book again on our next trip. The backyard was a wonderful perk and allowed our kids somewhere to play. Having access to laundry on site was definitely a perk.

Excellent stay
Was a great property. Small/quant but it didn’t feel crowded. Nice bed, sleeper couch, nice kitchen amenities, nice bathroom. Everything we needed. Excellent location. Quiet too. If I had to pick a negative, would have liked a light in the screened in patio. Unless I couldn’t find it… All and all 10 outta 10 property.

This place was perfect. Very private and comfortable with everything you need. I felt very safe here as well. My dog loved the screened in patio and yard. So did I! Lol. Highly recommend this place and it may be my go to from now on when I visit port a. Favorite place I’ve stayed on the island so far…and I’ve been coming for the last 30yrs.

Space too small
The place is fine for just 2 adults. It is too small for 4 adults and a pet. There was no space to walk around. The property should be advertised for 2 adults. And even though pet is welcome, my pet was confused and restless.

Perfect getaway place
This cottage was perfect for our fall getaway. Everything was clean and functional. I did not cook during our stay but did use the fridge. The fenced yard area was a nice to have since we did have our dogs with us. The entrance could use lighting - it was extremely dark in the evening.

Great for couples and their pets
We have two small dogs and finding a place that has a fenced in yard Is not all that easy to find. Most of the property’s that we have stayed in previously have a fenced in yard but only for large dogs. Along with being small, they are escape artists and will find any little hole to get out of. This property is secure all around and I felt very comfortable letting my dogs run around without having them on a leash. The unit itself is small, but it was perfect for us. Out time was spent on the beach and not in the room. Overall, very clean and well kept.
