Perfect little getaway
I’ve known about Port A for a long time and wanted to stay close to the beach near the Sandcastle. We booked this great rental due to the reviews and the proximity to what we wanted and loved it. The location and the apartment are exactly what we wanted. Very friendly staff that we dealt with via phone and texting. We are going to be looking to book this again next year. Thanks for the wonderful memories and experiences!!

Nice quaint place
Like the location and the layout of the rental. Could use a small vacuum as the broom was not that good for sweeping sand. Condo floor was still full of sand when we checked in. Could use a new hose outside. The hose kinks up and has holes. It was difficult to wash all the sand off.

Weekend Getaway
This property worked well as we were out on the beach all day Saturday and could just cook Saturday night. Sunday we fished on a charted boat then came back showerd and chilled. Its location is great! Close to beach and restaurants. Both rooms had showers and toilets. Living room small but loveseat and couch. Kitchen was awesome! Washer dryer good. Floors could have been a little cleaner. And bedroom nightstands needed repairs or replacing. Also in one bedroom the satellite box was behind TV so you had to get up out of bed to change channels. All this was reported to management company so hopefully will be resolved. But overall beds comfortable, bathrooms good and was a good place to stay for the money. I would stay there again!

Uncomfortable stay
The queen beds are rock hard. Our youngest slept on the pullout couch and you could feel nothing but springs! She put pillows under the sheets to sleep on to be a bit more comfortable. The pillows were stained brown with i don’t know what, thank God there were pillowcases. Make sure to bring your essentials. They could have provided travel size toiletries, salt & pepper or oil to cook but they provide the bare minimum!! We won’t stay again, not worth the price for the quality of stay.

Wings over Port A
Nice quite location. Floors were dirty, top of fridge and dryer is very dusty. Looks like it’s never been cleaned in a while. Need some maintenance. Bedroom by the washer, the door is hard to close. It drags on the floor pretty good. The other bedroom in the bathroom the floor is falling in. If you were to jump you would fall through the floor. No adjustment to the air conditioner. Stayed on 68 degrees. We had a blast in Port Aransas. Unit needs some minor attention.
