The property was beautiful and clean. We had 3 kids under three and property was very kid friendly! Though I would recommend bringing a baby gate for the stairs, as the one provided didn't work at all.Microwave didn't work. Dryer didn't dry clothes on the first cycle and the kitchen sink water didn't get hot. All minor issues for us. We still absolutely loved our stay.

This is a great place to vacation with friends. We really enjoyed our stay here. Especially when it rained and we played the golf themed game "Play Nine" all day. The beach is close enough to just go for a minute or to carry stuff down and stay all day. It would also be great, though less affordable, for a big multigenerational family. Especially those who require walker or wheelchair accessibility. The kitchen is well stocked though, weirdly, we couldn't find any measuring cups or measuring spoons. It literally had everything else and we managed just fine. The main beds were very comfortable and the bunk beds were pretty standard and fine for kids but not really for adults. Everything was very clean and worked well. Communication was great. I would recommend to friends and family.

Quick weekend trip

The house was amazing, especially huge main kitchen/dining area well stocked with anything you would need. All was clean as expected. There were a few loud neighbors partying on the balcony which didn’t bother us but upset one of the other neighbors to a point he was yelling threatening to call the cops. They were all much quieter after that. We enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful Stay

We enjoyed our stay. It was very comfortable with plenty of room for our family. It’s walking distance from the beach. Having 2 kitchens and 2 refrigerators is a plus. The elevator was great for hauling stuff upstairs, but know that it doesn’t go to the 3rd floor and it is located in the garage. It was difficult for my mother who uses a cane to use.

Perfect Spot

This property was great for family of 12. Large dining table was a selling point so we could all gather for family dinner. Sleeping on all levels allowed for alone time. Super close to beach by foot or golf cart. Two car garage gave us space for all our beach gear. Grelocation to shops and places to

Senior Boys Trip

We took a group of ten 17-18 year old boys for a beach trip before they start their senior year. The house was perfectly set up to accommodate our group. The kitchen was the hub of activity and it had every utensil, gadget and cooking item we needed. The location allowed the kids to split their time between beach and pool easily. We rented 2 golf carts through the company recommended by the VRBO and I can’t recommend that enough - it was a great experience and really enhanced our trip.

Beautiful house

This house and it's location couldn't have been better. I've rented many beach houses, although never in Port Aransas. The elevator was a game changer. When you stay for a week, there are a lot of items that need to be brought upstairs and the elevator made that a breeze! It doesn't have a pool on the property, but the community pool is close and we used it daily. The house was furbished with everything we needed and we couldn't have been more comfortable. I would rent this house again.

Family get away

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 rented this unit as a Mother’s Day and Father’s Day present for our parents. Both my sister’s and my families stayed with them. Great location, the elevator was a great help for my dad. My only complaints were the garbage disposal operation, and the cooktop. I looked for a good hour for the garbage disposal switch to no avail. I finally embarrassingly called the management company. Even the electrician was confused until he called his supervisor. Turns out you have to put the stopper in the drain and turn it. The cooktop buttons are very sensitive, and we got an error displayed at one point. I googled the repair, and had to reset the breaker (in garage). Not a huge deal at all, just FYI for future guests. Great location, clean, comfortable. Plenty of room.

NOT Happy

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We chose this rental house because it was advertised as having an elevator. That was the deciding factor in deciding on a house for a reunion of mobility-impaired 70 and 80-year olds. When we arrived on Sunday, the elevator would not work. We called the help line and a repairman was sent out. He was unable to fix the problem. We struggled to get our luggage and food items up the stairs and into the house. The elevator did not get fixed until Tuesday afternoon. 3 long days. And we just assumed that the elevator went to the top floor. No, it didn't. So here we have 11 elderly people trying and failing to climb the steps to the second and third levels. Very disappointing, and we would never have chosen a three story house if we had known the elevator would not work. The house itself is beautiful. It was very clean, well-equipped, and comfortable. It would have been the perfect house if the elevator was operational.
