Unique Dog-Friendly Beach House w/ Deck & Gulf Views

The property was great, my only small complaint was the lack of information on the listing around which floors the rooms were on. I think it would be helpful to list how many floors there are and which floor each room is on to know how many stairs would be needed to climb for each person in our party. The beach proximity was fantastic and the house was stocked perfectly to allow us to do everything needed. I'm not sure there are many properties in the Port A/Padre area that have such quick access to the beach, which is also a very low traffic stretch. We will definitely stay here in the future, it was great for our family.

House was in pristine condition with everything you could need and proximity to the beach was fabulous. I will rent this one again!

Rustic beach house, well loved. This place has its bruises and blemishes but it’s comfortable and super close to the beach. Took us probably 2 minutes from front door to beach. There’s a small pool that’s plenty of fun for kids. Kitchen has just about anything you need to make and serve dinner, a nice sized sink and a couple ways to make coffee. Plenty of beds, my kids loved the bunk beds. Location is great, short drive to restaurants and other touristy things but far enough away you don’t have to fight with golf carts everywhere. 30 min drive to Texas state aquarium, 15 min drive to HEB, etc. Balcony and porch are great places to hang out and have a drink, listen to the waves. Yeah there’s some rust, some dings, some rubbed off paint on the baseboards and cabinets, none of these things affected my enjoyment. The only bugs I saw were all outside. The AC was cold, the internet worked but it would hiccup for a couple seconds here and there. The mattresses were a bit thin but I slept fine. The rental company responded quickly to all questions. My family had a blast and we plan to be back and stay longer.

Pros: Super close to beach Great decks with view of ocean Close enough to restaurants, bars, and shops All the kitchen tools you could need Plenty of beds Some board/card games for family Cons: House is rough around edges, could use some paint and new furniture but what’s there is usable. Back door is real hard to open Checkout is early TVs are a bit small and apps work just ok. Got the job done. To wrap up, my family had a great time. We are hoping to come back next year. The location is perfect, it’s not so close to the touristy spots that you have to deal with golf carts everywhere, but close enough you can go if you want to. Beach is literally out the back door. We didn’t use the pool but it looked good. Place is pet friendly and has no shared walls so you don’t have to worry about neighbors unless your dog is super loud. We were sad to leave and really hope to come back. We’d stay here without hesitation.

Can’t beat the location. We’ll be back! Thank you!

We stayed a week at Lost Colony with another family. We really enjoyed our stay. We had an issue with the breaker which turned off the power to the dryer. Guest services was able to contact me very quickly and resolve the issue within a few hours. I was impressed with the response time and how helpful they were. The beach access was very convenient. I highly recommend staying here.

Boardwalk access to the beach and a pool are great amenities for this property.

It’s close to the beach.

Everything was great except the vents need to be dusted, trash bag was left. Will be back, great location.

Location and actual space was good. However, dirty. Shower upstairs needed cleaned, the top bunk beds had sand in the corners, the floors needed swept and mopped as well. Place also needs updates. Decking needs updated, along with paint, doors, etc. plus the power was out 12 of the last 24 hours we were there. No refund or anything when I asked. It was night outside. No back up generators or anything

Excellent location on Mustang Island with a 5 minute walk to beach on a nice boardwalk. Views cannot be beat - over the dune to the waves. This is a group of individual 3-story houses closest to the beach, in a gated area, many family owned. House needs some TLC which may be why is it a lower cost than it's neighbors, but still a great rental. When you rent through VRBO, this links into another vacation rental system called Vacasa. The auto-generated Vacasa system was not a good experience - too many texts and when we had a small issue, we were requested to write up a ticket with photographs, etc. Not doing this while on vacation! But we also had the name of a real person who worked at Vacasa named Heather, and she solved our issue immediately, and was very helpful with other questions. Kitchen was well stocked with dish and cookware - but bring your own spices including salt.

The view is great and kitchen is well stocked.

Very clean and comfortable! Beds were wonderful. Kitchen is fully stocked with anything you could imagine! Super close to the beach and near downtown Port A. Will book again !

We had some hiccups and bumps when we got there. They did address our concerns. They might need a new cleaning company or kindly reminder. The views were amazing and the walk to beach out did some of that bad.

Great location. Access to the community pool and beach is very convenient. Overall the house is nice, but needs some updates from wear and tear. Big problems were serious mold problem in the upstairs bathroom ceiling and the deck gate lock is so rusted it will not latch. These are not recent problems, so no telling how long they have been an issue.
