Great property, great location! We had an amazing Easter Weekend!! The property manager was very attentive and responded quickly. Will definitely stay there again!!
We came here for a new years vacay to bring in 2025. The overall experience was great, the hospitality and communication the owner provided was amazing. The property is beautiful and big enough to be comfortable with a bigger family. The location is convenient for everywhere you need to go.We hope to stay here again in the future!

Perfect get away! More than enough room for my family and the distance to everything was extremely close! Melanie was great and had everything covered for our trip! Everything we needed was available! Would definitely recommend for any family!
There were 13 of us (family & friends) that stayed at this spacious house. We loved having the split level lodging, 2 kitchens, plenty of bathrooms, and took full advantage of the game room. The owner was great to work with and the check in/out procedures were simple. We felt comfortable going for walks and jogs around the neighborhood each morning and enjoyed walking to eat a couple of times. We will be booking here again on our next trip to Port A!
What a great house. We can not express how great of a house this is. We do our Our Adult only Vacation yearly and this was by far the best house we’ve rented. So spacious for 5 couples, we can’t wait to come back and bring our kids to enjoy the house. The beds and sofas are so comfortable and is a perfect location to explore Port A. The hostess is wonderful and kept us well informed. Thank you for sharing your home with us!
The property is conveniently located in the middle of town but you’d never know- it’s somehow very quiet. Plenty of space for 3-4 vehicles to park comfortably. We maxed out the occupancy with three families but there was plenty of space for hanging out and playing. The sleeping spaces for adults were a little difficult to configure but it works fine for three pairs of adults plus kids.
This day was awesome. The house was at a great location. The homeowner was a very sweet lady. The only issue I had with this home is there was an apartment attached to the house we rented with the same address... This confused acouple guessed and walked in on a couple in the living room. I was not informed I would be staying in the duplex. So if you're staying in this home and you plan on having a good time into the night, just know, the neighbors will complain

We booked this property for a large group of 12 that we’re going on a charter fishing trip. The house was only a few blocks from the dock making it very convenient to walk to the dock the morning of the trip. The house was plenty large enough to accommodate our group and it had a perfect layout with a gameroom, bedrooms, living area and small kitchen downstairs for those “night owls”, and a large kitchen living area, and additional bedrooms upstairs for those of us who prefer to hit the sack a bit earlier. The house was very clean and the owner did a great job communicating and responding to any questions. They were also nice enough to extend our stay when our trip got postponed at the last minute due to weather. We had a great time and would highly recommend this property!
The house is beautiful and themed for a beach vibe which made it so much nicer. Our whole family was together but still had our own private spaces to avoid a WWE match. The host was awesome. Communication was fast and informative. We will be back.
The host was amazing as far as communicating. If we had an issue with anything she was super responsive and took care of anything that needed to be handled. We will definitely be going back. We look forward to our next stay at her rental.
Absolutely the best VRBO in all of Port Aransas, Texas. Melanie, the owner, Was very hospitable. The house looked even better than the pictures online. Our group had just such a fun time. The location was perfect, we were within walking distance from every major restaurant, bar, and beach. We will definitely be coming back!!
Perfect house for a big group of people. House floor plan is laid out great and there’s separation between adults and kids between the upstairs and downstairs which is nice! I’ll be renting this place again for sure.
Very nice place!! Had a group of 12 guys for a fishing trip and the place was perfect!!! Great location, walking distance from most places you want to go to.
Loved the fire pit in the backyard!
We had the best time and loved the game room! We will definitely stay here again. The house was perfect and lots of room.
Melanie, thanks for the weekend stay. After the bumps in the road in The beginning the response was exceptional. We really appreciate the help and problem solving. Thanks for helping us have a great trip.
This house was perfect for what we wanted. Super nice and clean and plenty of beds to house multiple families. The location was great too. 2-4 min. Golf cart ride to the store and 5 or less to the beach! Will def be staying here again.
