My friends and I had a fun time at this beach house! Overall a great location and nice house. The property could have been cleaner. Took off 1 star for check in because there was a slight delay as well as the 5th bedroom is tricky to find with no clear instructions.
The view from the upper deck was amazing. We loved the open living area and kitchen. It was very close to the beach. We really enjoyed the hot tub and the elevator was an added bonus for out parents.
We really enjoyed our stay! The location was awesome and the neighborhood is great! Only one issue with some of the lighting but maintenance was out very quickly and had it repaired. I would definitely recommend this property for a group looking to literally be right on the beach.
We really enjoyed our stay in Port A. The house was large enough for our group of 12 to all have some space. The third story balcony had the best view of the ocean! The property management was very quick to respond with any questions we had, and the maintenance man even came on site and built ramps for my brother to get over the small door lips in his wheelchair so he could make it onto the balcony. If you are in need of an accessible home, just know that there are several 3-4” lips to doorways in and around the home, and there is not a shower that is wheelchair accessible. But for the average vacationer, this home was a real hit.

This was a beautiful multi-level home in a perfect location. It was easy to get to the beach with small children. The property was clean and spacious. The beach view from the top deck was outstanding!
Excellent location and located in a very clean and well kept RV park.
The house is as described. Bathrooms are nice, bedrooms overall spacious. We didn’t really use any TVs, but they seemed new. Kitchen was well equipped, the living room comfy.
Cleanliness could’ve been better. The dishwasher was old and barely functional. Nothing was dirty, just not “clean”

3rd 30 day stay at this property. Love the set up and location to the beach. Disappointed in conditions. Couch, chair covers could stand a cleaning or replacement. Had to wait 11 days to get the oven and a burner repaired, to get the cloths washer repaired. There is a outside lite on second floor ready to fall off. There were no working hoses. You guys were awesome with your response, but we had to waste 3/4 days of our rental waiting on repairs.

We have stayed at this property multiple times because of the location, and perfect configuration of bedrooms, baths, living for our family. Plus the Gulf Waters RV resort location is amazing. Great amenities, and very friendly neighbors. The home itself needs lots of work. Much of the exterior has salt water damage, and the furniture is showing its age and usage. The living room couch needs to be completely replaced. The best feature is the hot tub (which is shown as a feature of this house online) does not work, and if it was replaced, we would visit this property more often. We will probably return because of the location, but really hope that the owner invest in keeping this property up to date with the neighbors.

Reviewer Comments:
The house is beautiful! It had all the amenities and super close to the walkway to the beach. My family of 6 siblings with kids fit with room to spare. I swear the kids played on the pirate ship in the front of the house more than they did the beach. The house was cool and comfortable after we got there. The only problem we had was finding all the rooms! Which isn’t really a problem! The kitchen table was able to fit everyone around to play games on in the evenings. Everyone said their mattress was comfortable and clean. The water had plenty of pressure and plenty of hot water for people to take showers. We were in town for my grandmas 90th birthday. The elevator helped a lot with groceries and luggage to the top and middle floor. Would stay again next year.
Excellent location and neighborhood but house needs help.
First off, the location is amazing. Having golf cart access on the board walk was a huge plus. The pool area and hot tub at the main entrance was great considering the hot tub advertised at the house was full of sand and water line under the first row of jets. The banister to the 2nd level outside was broken. I submitted a fix it claim on the app for hospitality but never received any feedback. The 5th bedroom is BEYOND confusing to find. It would be extremely helpful to say there is a key hanging for 5th bedroom at this location in the check in notes. The queen bed on the 3rd floor is like sleeping on a table. A simple mattress topper would make all the difference in the world. Bring your own pillows. The pillows have a plastic pillow case on them and are horrible. The living room furniture is not comfortable at all. There is no cable and we were there during football season so I had to stream from my own phone and provider. The dryer does not work at all. And the washer hardly rinses. Bring plenty of clothes knowing you won’t be washing there. We packed light and were sadly mistaken. Not having access to the 3rd floor balcony except going through the master bedroom and outside stair case was ridiculous. Especially having rented due to family members not being able to use stairs and there being an elevator in the unit. We never used the 3rd floor balcony with the amazing views even though there is a door, you just can’t use it. For paying $4000 for our stay, it needs help.
Amazing views, house, and all around location. I was able to bring my fur babies, which is critical for me . I would recommend an indication that it’s located at back the park of the luxury RV Park…I was confused and thought I was lost upon arrival. Once, I found it, I was in awe. A lot of people walking by asked me about the property as they were interesting in staying there in the future. Will most definitely book this property again.
This property allowed for plenty of room for a family of adults, had AMAZING views from the 2nd and 3rd floor balconies, and had an elevator to help with loading/unloading. Walking to the beach or taking the golf cart over the boardwalk was a breeze. We enjoyed our stay and the house!
The property was in a great location. Large enough for 3 generations to spread out. Really enjoyed our stay. Only negative thing was the bottom bedroom did not have a shower as it is only a half bath. All agreed in our party that they would stay there again.

Very relaxing! Great view of the beach! Great place to spend time with family!
Two of my kids and their spouses joined me for a four day weekend. The house was nice. I have arthritic knees and enjoyed the elevator. We wanted a nice view and we were well satisfied. I will plan another stay here.
The property location absolutely cannot be beat! The views and proximity to the beach are what made us rent this house a 2nd year. Minor maintenance issues exist but no different from any high turnover property- and they address issues same day. Beautiful place for us and our adult children to vacation.

Good Views in Port Aransas
Conveniently located near the beach with good views. Many repairs needed, not a special needs/ handicap friendly facility. All doors to balconies broken. Would stay again without elderly guests or children.
This house was perfect for our family and dogs. The main room is bright and open. Lots of windows. Warning you need to be able to climb stairs. The elevator was not available to us.
The bathrooms were well decorated and the location was just a short walk from the boardwalk to the beach.
We would definitely stay here again.

We had an amazing time at The Pearl of Port Aransas! The home is beautiful and perfect for relaxing. There was plenty of room for all 10 of us. The views are second to none. Even the RV resort was beautiful. Everyone was friendly and Port A Escapes was quick to fix any issues we had. We will definitely be staying here again!
