Rustic Shores MP105 | Beach Access | Resort Pools

Overall, I like this place; The amenities and access to beach are fantastic. Would of scored 4 or 5 except that there is significant water leak from ceiling during heavy rains. Appears to be from maybe poor sealing or draining from where upstairs patio meets edge of condo and the property management is well aware of the issue. When I went to talk to them about it, there were buckets catching water in lobby from all the leaks. I asked for partial refund/compensation since I had to mop water up off the floor after heavy rains and they said the would reach out after contacting owner. Never heard from them.

Everything was great. Building is a little out dated but the unit was very nice and tidy. Only problem we had was the not all pools were available as 2 were being repaired I assume. Resulting in no heated pool when this was a deciding factor when choosing this rental. Kids still swam but it sure was cold.

Always a good time staying at MP, we will come again

My wife and I stayed here for her birthday, which is on Mew Years Eve. We had stayed once before at the Mayan Princess but in a different unit. We LOVED this ground floor unit because of its convenience to the pool, hot tub, and beach without having to go down the elevator. The bed was super comfortable also. We had an issue understanding the Wi-Fi and bedroom tv the night we arrived. Within an hour of sending an email the property manger had someone there to help us get it straightened out. Awesome response. We will definitely want to stay here again.

We have never rented anything through this service before. It was very easy and we were very happy. The only problem we had was the sliding glass door to the patio was very hard to open and came off track. We had to call 3 times to get it fixed properly. Then it rained so hard and there was a leak in the living room. However we would use this service again.

My trip to Port Aransas and stay at the Mayan Princess got off to a rough start. On my drive down, I hit a deer causing extensive damage to my SUV and delaying my arrival until the second day of my rental period. However, I did end up enjoying my final 3 days at the condo, which was unit MP105. It was very nicely furnished/decorated. The shower was really huge and the bed quite comfortable. The fridge was also big and had both water and ice dispensers. The management staff was quite friendly and came by my condo to tell me my daughter had been trying to reach me when I was down at the beach. On a related note, cell phone service a bit of a challenge. I had none in the front part of my condo but did sometimes back in my bedroom! Although, usually I had to go out to the parking lot - the further away from the beach the better the service. Strangely, I have not had this problem staying at other condos in the area. Usually, I wouldn't mind that much, but with my car in a body shop 100 miles away and trying to file a claim with my insurance company, it was kind of a nuisance. I have only some other minor grievances. The electrical switches are rather oddly located. It took me most of the first day to figure out which switch turned on/off what lights, and that there were separate controllers for the ceiling fans. Also, I was not too happy with the location of my condo. It was on the first floor and the only one bedroom they had available. Other guests were frequently walking by on a footpath only a few feet from my back door as they went to and from the pool area. So obviously, I spent little time relaxing on my back patio. Finally, the Mayan Princess is about the farthest away from Port Aransas of the condos on Mustang Island, by about 3 or 4 miles. Port A is where the closest grocery store, restaurants, souvenir shops and gas stations can be found. Speaking of the pools, forgot to there are three of them! And I think the deepest area in any of them was 4 feet. So great place to relax with the the kids. There is a swim-up bar, but it never opened while I was there...maybe because of COVID. The wooden walkway to the beach from the pool area is fairly short - probably less than a hundred yards. The beach itself was in great shape with no seaweed or debris on it. Bottom line, I would definitely stay at the Mayan Princess again (this was my first time there), but I would definitely get a condo on the second floor or higher for my next stay.

Would have loved to have better customer service .. better communication with front office.
