We did a quick extended weekend stay with our adult kids, my husbandâs brother and our seven year old granddaughter. We love the neighborhood, the house was perfect for our needs and the boardwalk makes trips to the beach a breeze on a golf cart or on foot.
We planned a week stay for us and our kids and our grandkids. The house was perfect for 3 families and lots of room for kids to be kids. The beach is a short walk from the location with a pond (they tried fishing) in the backyard. There is also a pool across the street for when the walk is too much but the kids just have to be in water!This is a great neighborhood for a family get-together.
House was good yet more than a few of the front outdoor stairs are cracked, almost broken. If the right weighted person were to step on them, they would break. Luckily we are sure footed nor overweight. We enjoyed the stay, the house cooled nicely, plenty of room everywhere, laundry room was clean and easy to use. We loved the access to the beach and the in site pool, as well. We wish the weather there and back home was better and we didnât have to leave early but happy to have stayed.
A group of us stayed on the property for a long weekend and the stay was great! The home was clean, spacious, close to town, across from the pool and a few houses down from the beach. It was the perfect location.
There was a distinct smell in the home when we arrived but we quickly opened the doors and windows to let some ventilation in and it helped immensely. We went in September and there were absolutely no bugs, despite having the doors open for most of the day. Additionally, we were able to cook and didnât end up needing anything. The house was incredibly well equipped.
If youâre looking for a relaxing stay near town this is the place to be!
#1. The carpet in bedrooms/stairs were soiled/stained and ripped. So unsanitary. Why on earth they had carpet is beyond me. It was so unclean.
#2. I had emailed asking questions about renting a golf cart. Never got a response back. No rentals available by the time we got there. We have rented in Cinnamon Shores from another company through VRBO and they helped facilitate the golf cart rental.
#3. Roaches everywhere. The unit was just not clean. Stains on walls, doors, floors...just gross.
#4. Woke up itching EVERYWHERE. Pretty sure it is bed bugs so had to thoroughly wash EVERYTHING we took with us so as to not bring anything back to our home. Cut our trip short since it was miserable. Fan in master would not work even after we went to store to replace the remote battery. So hot.
#5. Not sure how it got 4.6 stars unless they filter out the not so good reviews. Would NEVER rent this again nor go through this management company
This house was in a great location and had plenty of space. However, we werenât able to check in at the time given because housekeeping was still working. We had to sit outside for 30 minutes and wait. The house was also not clean. The carpets were stained and dirty and there was mold in several places (ceilings, air vents).
The biggest problem was the internet connection. We needed to be able to get on the internet for remote work and we had no connection the entire time. We asked as soon as we checked in and the management group replied quickly that they would get it fixed. They sent maintenance over the next day (after being there 24 hours) and after he was there for hours was not able to correct it. They told us it would be fixed and someone else would come out and it never happened. We were there a week and this problem was never resolved.
When you stay for as long as we did and pay as much as we did, you would expect to be able to get internet service after we were told we would have it while being there.
This rental property was ideal for our family of 7. The house was spotless. The location was ideal....beach access #1, mile marker 39. The boardwalk was a great addition and a short walk to the beach. The AC kept the house very comfortable. It was nice having access to 2 pools. I wish that there were a few more pans and/or skillets but that was the only item lacking. We would definitely rent this house again.
Mosquitoes were an issue to remember the bug spray.
The best part of our trip was hiring the port Aransas sandcastle guy for a lesson. So much fun for the whole family.
Great location. Last time we stayed in this neighborhood they didnât have golf cart access to the beach, but now they do! We had a couple of little issues at check in, but they were immediately rectified by Port A Housing Co. Nice people who cared about our stay!
One thing- this house is right across from the adult only pool... but most people seemed to ignore that. I made my kids go around the corner to the other pool... Just FYI... if youâre going for an adult only trip you may have to run off some kids from the pool ;)
This house was perfect for our family to relax at after a day on the beach. Across from the pool made it perfect for everybody. Plan to return as soon as we can!
House seems very nice, but multiple maintenance problems.
Pretty house, nicely furnished, but we had multiple problems, one of which was very serious. Lights not working, ants in the bedrooms and beds(!!), and, MOST dangerous, invisible broken boards supporting the stairs on the outside stairway. My husband fell when a stair completely came loose. From below, we could see that there was a second step that was unsupported and also would have caused a fall. We had to block the main stairway and not use it for the rest of the visit. Very bad experience.
I would also note that this house is just a little too far from the beach. The walk is tough on hot, tired little kids.
This house was so clean and directly across from the pool which my kids loved. The boardwalk to the beach was within walking distance another plus for my small kids. We loved to sit out on the back porch and look at the lagoon, it was so peaceful and relaxing. The house was very clean, had plenty of towels and I definitely recommend this beach house! The lady Kendall was very attentive and easy to work with, we even got an early check in and late check out. Oh and the fishing guide service they offer is AMAZING!! The kids and my husband had a blast. Captain Braeden will show you a good time and send you home with fish. We will be back next year!
