    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Big Kahuna house was fabulous! We had 11 people in our group and it was plenty spacious for all of us. The house was very clean. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen was well-equipped. There was actually an issue with the pool in a differnt house that we originally rented. However, the management team at Port Aransas Escapes immediately found another house for us without any issues or complications. They were very professional and accommodating.

    Everything was great but two comments: beds were uncomfortable and light bulbs burned out in kitchen level bedroom. All in all, we had a great stay!

Reviewer Comments: This was the first time we vacationed with our whole family of 15 and we were pleasantly surprised by how much room we all had. The second floor living/family area was great! Loved having the pool to cool off after a day at the beach and the short boardwalk to the beach! Overall, very clean and maintained.

    We had a large group and the home accommodated us perfectly. The house was well equipped with easy access to the beach. We had a few hiccups but likely based more on personal standards and some out of control of the hands of the management.

    The house is beautiful, laid out really nice. Plenty of space, could have used a bunk bed so two of the grandsons didn’t have to sleep together. The kitchen was stocked with everything to cook with. Plenty of towels for a big family. We had 15 and we were not crowded in the least. Very nice property and will probably try to book for next year.

    Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our original concern with the home listing still has not been addressed. The house layout and sleeping arrangements are listed inaccurately. When this was brought to their attention, they wanted me to do their homework and send a detailed explanation of what the house contained. We chose the house based on the sleeping arrangements and this made it difficult for the 8 small children that accompanied our party.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a girls' trip with 16 ladies, and this home was absolutely amazing. The house was clean and beautiful, offering a perfect setting for our getaway. However, I have two suggestions for improvement. First, the bottom mattress of the trundle bed on the third floor needs an upgrade; you can literally feel the springs. Second, adding blackout curtains to that room would be beneficial, as it gets very bright and warmer up there. Additionally, though a minor point, several of us wished there was at least one full-length mirror. Overall, everything else was fantastic!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great home for our families. 4 bedrooms + 2 bathrooms on 1st level was great for older kids/young adults. 2nd level set up was perfect with 2 king suites. 3rd floor held our youngest with a day bed. She had her own space with her own TV. The description says there is a room with 2 kings in the bottom level but there were actually two separate rooms each with a king and that worked even better for us. We would rent again in a heartbeat.

We called management on Friday and Saturday, and they said someone would be out to clean the pool, no one ever came.
