Absolutely Perfect

I had questions prior to booking and the owners were very helpful. The location is amazing in relation to shopping, restaurants and still quiet. We had a golf cart and it was a short hop to the beach. We will rent from this group again, it was outstanding. AND FYI on the shower and other complaints online, we had ZERO issues with anything at the cottage.

Great location and place to stay

This place was great to stay in. It was close to restaurants\bars to walk too. It was also close to all the shops. There is an ice cream place right next door. It was delicious.the place was very clean and just as listed. It is big enough for two people. I really think they decorated the place well. The shower was on the smaller side but it was good just to rinse off after the beach. They do provide shampoo and conditioner but if you have long hair ask for more or bring your own. If we go back to Port Aransas I would definitely stay here. They were very responsive and communicated well.The only things to note would be that the ac seems to have a hard time keeping the place cool. It could be because of how hot it is currently. The next door neighbor has a dog and the fence is board on board but there is a gap. So our dogs were being super nosey. They have a front area as well that is separate. You can take your dog to go potty. So we just used that area instead. Either way those are not deal breakers for us but something to keep in mind.

Three stars

It was clean. Shower was disappointing (wife had to wash her hair in the kitchen sink due to poor water pressure in the shower). The bathroom sink was not attached to the wall (not that big of a deal for us). Back area seemed to be under renovation. "Dog friendly" area is out front and very small. Other than that our stay as expected.

Love it - but not well maintained.

We stayed in the same cottage in April - one of several. Pefect, but the shower was an issue - temperature and pressure control. We complained to San Key when we stayed there in April. Love it except for the shower issues, which we reported to Sand Key when we left. We were told that no one else complained. When we returned in October, we were forced to either take cold showers or wash in the sink. Washing hair under cold water is very unpleasant. We will return, but not to this cottage.

Great for Quick Getaway

This is our 6th year staying in the Spanish Village. With just me and my husband (plus the dog) it is the perfect place for a laid back Port A getaway. It’s not a resort but exactly what you need to be near the beach and at the center of town near many awesome establishments. We will definitely rebook next year.

Don’t bring small dogs

This property appears to have a secure place for your puppies but the fences are installed with space between the ground and fence. Our pups are small and could get under it. The neighbors were great and brought them back to us. There were two other issues. The shower appears to be larger than it is (30” x 30”). It was difficult to move in the small space. The second was the TV set up. It has two TVs one in the living area and it got the normal channels the other in the bedroom had Netflix etc but no major channels. It is centrally located and close to all the restaurants and activities. The kitchen is well appointed. It was cold when we were there so we didn’t spend any time outside but the yard was very nice with the exception of the fence set up. Parking was very easy. The property managers were very responsive to any issues we had.

Needed Repairs for Sunshine Cottage

The main heater in the cottage did not work. I was promptly given two space heaters, which helped but didn't really keep the property warm. Moreover, for safety reasons, space heaters should not be used at night when you're sleeping or when you leave the property, so it was always cold. The shower didn't work; it was all hot or all cold, not much in between. The cover on the drain was off. Moreover, the water pressure in the bathroom was very low. I took one shower in 7 days and washed my hair in the kitchen sink. After the first day or two, I could not lock the property when I left. The lock was corroded and needed to be replaced. In addition to my clothes, I had well over $1500 in personal items that someone could have easily walked away with. Finally, the prominently advertised fit pit, which I was looking forward to using, wasn't there, though there was a small charcoal grill. Before leaving I brought a list of these problems by the Sand Key rental office and went over them with the woman there. You can't fix it if you don't know about it. Still, I cannot recommend this property until these maintenance items are taken care of. If you're interested in leasing the Sunshine Cottage, I'd strongly advise you to contact the host (i.e., Sand Key Rentals) to make sure these issues have been resolved.

Not what we bargained on

Outside area was great. However the bathroom was so small. Could barely turn around in shower and had poor water pressure The only electrical outlet in the kitchen didn’t work. Had to make coffee and toast outside on the deck! Was not able to use toaster oven either. The pictures were very deceiving as to the size of the unit. Would not recommend

Pleasant hideaway

I originally scheduled this trip from my boyfriend and I, but due to unforeseen circumstances had to come alone because we were unable to rework the dates of the rental. It was exactly what I expected, and a very relaxing stay. There were a couple tiny things that were missing that were. In the agreement, (sponge to wash dishes, basic seasonings) But those were easily remedied by a quick trip to the store. The community was quaint and quiet, And while it says there is a laundry facility in the community cabana, it wasn’t clearly marked it so I never found it. Again, just ran to the lovely laundromat down the road. Would definitely stay again.

Great little intown bungalow!

This property is in the little community called Spanish Village. It is in the middle of Old Town, which is close by anything you might need. Restaurants, shops, beach. You just need a golf cart to get to all of it. We brought our dogs and the yard was great. Outdoor shower was refreshing after a day at the beach. There was extra toilet paper, trash bags, and paper towels. This is not always the case. The bed was comfortable.

Perfect for us!

We had a great time, we always do in Port Aransas! My husband and I are best friends and not picky. I was a little disappointed that it was not as clean as would have been expected. The only time we called left message with call service and never got a response. Also...lawn service entered gate blowing leaves while we were having coffee, when asked how long they would be they left and when we went outside the gate there was an empty egg carton, plastic cup, and other trash that was not ours. We cleaned it up because we care but when we arrived there was also multiple cigarette butts in yard. We are smokers but will not even throw a butt in the ocean while fishing, much less a property yard.
