Great stay
Overall we enjoyed the stay. There are some issues that need to be fixed as others have said in their reviews. Since they haven’t been fixed yet, I am not sure they will get fixed. The light in the bathroom downstairs does not work. The dryer is REALLY loud. If you plan on using the dryer don’t plan on watching tv or having a conversation while the dryer is running. The bar stools are wobbly. The front door doesn’t latch properly so you have to put some pressure on it to shut it. I did enjoy my stay but these are a few things that could be fixed to make this house so much better.

Great location and service, property needs maintenance
We had a great stay with our family and dog. The property was clean and in a central location in Port Aransas, just a stone's throw from the grocery store and other restaurants, stores, etc. We enjoyed the pool, the outside grill, and the kitchen area, and we appreciated the televisions when it rained! When we arrived, none of the exterior lights worked, which prevented us from using the space at night, and it was a security concern taking the dog out at night. The gate to the backyard did not close properly, so we had to devise a way to close it to ensure the dog stayed in the yard. The customer service and property manager were attentive to addressing the issues, but we had to spend the first three nights without these issues being addressed since it was the weekend. We were present when the property manager and electrician came to address the lights. They also decided it would be a good time to have a plumber out to find a possible leak causing the water bill to be too high. They fixed a few exterior lights under the carport and the gate. The pool company never came to fix the pool lights, so night swimming was not an option for us. I would love to stay here again, but I would want everything to be in working order and not have to alert the property manager or homeowner to fix things.

Great Island Stay!
The house was exactly as described! My kids loved the pool. The house was comfortable and clean. The outdoor bathroom was a nice touch. There was a storm and the power went out and I was able to immediately contact the property management about this. The power went back on and I was I touch with the property management the whole time! Would stay again!

Will come again
The property owner was very communicative. The property was also quite clean. We would love to stay here again in the future. Admittedly the house internally appeared a bit dated, and the trim of the door inside/outside (main entrance of the house) was very scuffed up, but the door locked well and that is what matters. The toilet lid was cracked upon arrival > I notified the owner right away > they responded.

It is a shame that this house is managed by Vacasa. They do not honor veteran or military discounts. Altogether the house is lovely however, the customer service and nightly rates could have been much better.

Our short stay
It was nice overall, things to consider if it’s not summer there is not an additional bathroom downstairs :/ i mean con on…… the BBQ has seen better days and needs some new parts or to be replaced. The kitchen living room is a lot bigger than the pictures give them credit. We would stay again.

Nice comfortable stay . Unfortunately the pool isn't heated like it stated on listing. But you could purchase for $50 a day extra to heat the pool. That was inconvenient and a little upsetting. But the property was fine .

Beach Trip
We’ve stayed at this beach house before so when we decided to go back to Port A, we thought of no other place we’d rather stay than this house. We even got an exiting text that we could check in early!! Upon arriving we immediately noticed the strong cigarette smell. It was very overwhelming and gave my son a headache. Within the hour or checking in we received a text asking how our house was. We reported there was visible damage to the front stairs and the cigarette smell. They replied with, “Open the windows.” I was taken back as to the listing clearly said No Smoking. It was uncomfortable inside so we decided to take a dip in the pool. While swimming we realized the new home being built ‘next’ to our house. The word next is in quotations because the new house is basically on top of the one we were renting. Felt like you could reach out and touch the house next to you. With that being said, privacy is nonexistent. You can clearly see into our pool/backyard from the other property. Luckily we arrived on a Saturday and construction was not going on. Once Monday morning hit we were woken up by blaring music being played by the workers next door. I could only imagine if both houses were being rented at the same time, how disrupting it could be. In the room that my son slept in with bunk beds, the ceiling fan did not work and was missing a blade, the beds were very uncomfortable and the sheets were extremely thin. Unfortunately this may have been our last visit to this house.

Great house, great location!
Had a great stay at this house with my 2 yr old, husband, and a couple friends. House was very comfortable, pool was clean and cool. Overall we had an excellent stay and hope to come again. Only suggestion i have is regarding the space under the stairs where the pool toys and beach chairs were is in need of cleaning. The blender needs replacing, as well as two of the bottom bunk beds. None of this would stop us from returning. Thank you for the great stay!

Weekend Get-a-way!
We took a quick trip with our kids to get away from the daily stress of work and school finals. We had a blast! The pool was perfect, we cooked out and played. Rented a golf cart from Bron's Beach Cart. Even went down to the beach and walked around, took our son to the jetty to fish and went to the Leonabelle Turnbull Birding Center (this was a family favorite). Our kids are 18, 15 and 14. Over all a great weekend!

Weekend get-away
The construction on the adjacent property was a mood killer. The property itself was good for a weekend getaway with the kids. But the noise from construction next door was horrible. All day power tool frenzy on Saturday. And that was the only full day we had at the property.

Fantastic Stilt House
Great house with a pool. Plenty of room for everyone. Wonderful location. Quick walk to Alister and Ave G or Grab a Cart and head to the beach or to the docks. Kitchen could use some new frying pans and doesn’t have a dish washer, but overall this place is great. Unadvertised Hidden secret, large couch is a sleeper sofa, so this place could actually handle 10 people. We can’t wait to grab this place again…

Nice place
Nice place for a getaway. However they really need to take better care to provide adequate dishes and utensils. Also the place was spot cleaned only. Remotes didn’t have batteries, trash bin was still full of someone else’s trash. For the price they should not ask you to clean the place before you leave. Kinda the point in renting a vacation getaway. Other than that it was nice. I would stay again but still pointing out the little things that should be addressed.
