Beach-A-Holic | Views, Private Pool, Walk To Beach

The comfort for 9 people

We loved the setup with its view of the gulf. The house was very nice with room for all of us. The boardwalk to the beach with its showers to clean off sand was awesome.

The view was great, the elevator was great, the house was great.

It was such a great experience. The house is amazing and very family oriented. We are definitely making plans to come back next vacation.

It’s what you would expect for a Texas beach property. Multi levels, decent view, nice pool. AC on first floor was lacking vs on the top floor but was still tolerable. Landscaping needed some attention. Lots of overgrowth around the pool. Front yard landscaping needs attention. It served our needs but was on the pricey side compared to others we have rented.

We were excited about our stay at this house, as it checked the boxes on a lot of our need and wish-list items. The descriptions are on point in regards to number of rooms, king-beds, bathrooms, etc. And the access to the beach was great (second time staying in this area and the beach was great both times). The kitchen has plenty of dishware and cooking utensils, which exceeded expectations.Where our expectations fell short was the overall cleanliness of the property, quality of furniture, and communication from the management team. We took quite a bit of time wiping down the kitchen, cleaning food/dirt off of the couches, and washing dishes. It looks like the house could use a deep clean (perhaps it wasn't used much over the winter months?) and it did not present well when compared with the price-point of the house. When we arrived the pool was covered in grass clippings, and did not appear to be filtering correctly (water stayed pretty stagnant compared to the pools next door). We called to request this to be looked at, and was told a ticket would be made. No follow-up had happened by Friday afternoon, so I tried to reach management via the Vrbo app. I received a call from management on Saturday morning, and was just told they will note to have the pool cleaned after the lawn is cut in the future, which provided no help for our us. The pool was a reason we chose this property over others, and we never got to use it. Would expect a lot more from a property like this.

We absolutely loved our stay here - it was perfect for the whole family, including the four legged member! Property management team responded fast to all our questions. I have only one negative and that is there were no dish towels in the kitchen (to dry hands and/or dishes), which is really just a me kind of thing. Both a pro and con is the distance to Port A - pro, we basically had the entire beach to ourselves; con, we had to drive 10+ miles to do anything in Port A (good news is we're beach people so we only made the drive once or twice). We will definitely book the property next time we have the whole gang vacationing together.

1. We had a small child and were not informed the doors didn't lock, they were aware, signs posted. 2.Severe Mold in ice maker and water dispenser. 3.Ice box leaked all over the floor. 4.Door Locks were broken 5. 1 microwave was broken. 6.One door didn’t have a handle at all on the inside. 7. Door lock code quit working and we had to call to get another code. 8.Basic things like cleaner and spare paper towels and ample dish soap, shampoo, lotion, and coffee for the coffee maker were not included like many other houses we have rented for years in Port A. 9.The beds were super uncomfortable and made so much creaking noise it woke everyone up when we got up and down. We had to stack pillows under our bodies to get them to quit hurting our backs. 10.We texted the number it told us to text and no one ever got back to us. 11.There was mold visibly coming out between the wood slats in the 3rd floor living area on the walls.12. Kitchen Sink Disposal didn’t work. 13.We were given three pods for the dishwasher for a 7 day booking. 14. Coffee maker had mold as well and I had to clean it out to use it. 15. Ice maker didn’t work. 16.The phone for emergencies in the elevator didn’t work scary & dangerous. 17. We were given the wrong Wi-Fi information 18. Tv wouldn’t connect to the Wi-Fi. This property is unsafe for families with kids who can't swim. At such a high rate it was just not acceptable to lease without fixing first. We enjoyed our stay would return again if corrected.

Nice place that is clean and well kept. Enjoyed pool and short walk to beach. One of multiple TVs did not work, but that was an insignificant issue. Fridge nice and clean, but ice maker did not work. Overall, very happy with check-in process, home and surroundings. Pleased with our choice for a large family vacation.

Beautiful place but hard to understand why it’s upkeep is neglected. Doorknobs falling off and hole in back door. Bedrooms on the first floor were always over 82 degrees. Called for assistance with no response. No lights in elevator making it virtually useless. Lawn not kept….high grass made mosquitos even worse. Really pretty with a great view but should be flawless for the price.
