    The house is in a perfect location to everywhere you’d want to quickly and easily get to in Port A, and beach access is right next to the property! The house has everything you’d possibly need and more. The garage is converted to a game room with tons of games and activities and it also includes a full shelf of beach equipment. If needed, it still allows for golf cart or small car parking. Every space is well-equipped and comfortable. The upstairs patio is a perfect place for morning coffee and breakfast, and the lower level outdoor space is awesome! The location is the end/corner of the property building, which allows for more views and space. We loved it and will definitely be back!!

    This property was nice with a couple exceptions. First keep in mind there are three flights of stairs which was quite tricky with three grandparents with us. Additionally if the property needed some general maintenance. There was a hole in the wall on the second floor, some of the balcony doors would not open, the downstairs bathroom tub did not drain. And several other small regular maintenance things like that. We contacted the property management company but the only responses we received were automated ones there was never any follow-up from anyone addressing our concerns. The property itself is nice and the pool was great. Overall we still had a great trip but I don't think I would book this house again. There are too many other options in Port Aransas especially at this price point. And it does concern me that we never heard from anybody about the damages but we did receive endless automated messages.
