Crustacean Station- Private Pool - Cart Discount

CRUSTACEAN STATION

PRIME LOCATION - PRIVATE POOL (Heated for free Nov-March)

4 bedroom 3 bath vacation rental located in the heart of Port Aransas 3/4 mile to the beach. Spacious, well equipped kitchen with granite counters, lots of cabinets and storage, open to living and dining area with high ceilings. Tile flooring throughout. Big front porch to enjoy the sun and sea breeze.

2 master bedrooms and baths with King beds. Third bedroom with King bed and shares a bath with the fourth bedroom equipped as a bunk room with 3 bunk beds.

Large gas grill and shrimp boil burner and pot are here too!

Easy golf cart access to town and the beach.

Half-price cart rental!! ($95 per day collected on the check-in day.)

Rates quoted are for up to 8 guests. Accurate guest counts must be provided so that we can provide sufficient towels and linens and supplies. Additional guests are $25 per stay. Additional guest fees are charged on the check-in date. NOTE: The top bunks are for children less than 100 lbs. only. This house is ideally suited for 3 adults couples and some children therefor we recommend no more than 6 adults in the house.

All outdoor areas are covered by security cameras and record any time motion is detected.

Golf Cart usage is subject to terms and conditions that are in the home rental agreement. You must complete the home rental agreement (which includes the provisions for the golf cart) including full contact details and you must text any operator's driver's license and proof of insurance to us before they operate our cart. Golf cart access and operating instructions will be provided the day of your arrival.

Gas grills are provided. Some properties have propane grills, and the boiling pots only use propane. We leave a couple propane tanks at the house for the grill and boiling pot burner, but there is no practical way to keep them filled, so propane is not guaranteed. Like most properties on the island, we employ the honor system, as we do not and can not monitor them. If you drew the short straw and the gas runs low or out on you, take the cylinder and pay an exchange at IGA, CVS, Ace, or Stripes. It should be around $25.

Grill cleaning is guest responsibility. If you use any of the outdoor cooking equipment, it needs to be cleaned and the drip pans emptied and ready for the next guest. We do not and can not clean the grills and boiling pots between guests. Please use paper towels and the metal grill brushes to clean the grills, not our linens or our pool cleaning equipment. If you leave the grill or boiling pot dirty for the next guest you will be charged per the rental agreement. If you check in and find the grill dirty send us pictures and we will send you $25. NOTE: Dirty is excessive food particles or full grease catch pans or actual food left in the boiling pot, not a little grease residue or a little rust on the grill or grates.

We heat the pool Nov 1 to Mar 31 to 90 degrees. Heating to higher temperatures and other times can be arranged for a fee. The pools are serviced twice a week and will require occasional closures to allow chemicals to dissipate. This is usually no more than a couple hours. There are no refunds for occasional pool closures for cleaning, repairs or maintenance, or if pool temperature is undesirable The pool is cleaned on Tuesdays and Fridays and tested for proper and safe chemicals. There may be occasional algae growth on the pool walls or steps, or debris or sand blowing in from the beach and landscaping. These do not constitute the pool being dirty. Skimmers and brushes are provided if Guest wants to remove them between regularly scheduled cleanings. Please do not let your children use play with these.

Rates quoted are for up to 8 guests per home. No more than 12 guests may be in each of our homes at any time. Guests in excess of 8 total per home are charged at $25 per night per guest upon check-in. Accurate guest counts must be provided so that we can provide sufficient towels and linens and supplies.

This house is ideally suited for 3 adults couples and some children therefor we recommend no more than 8 adults in the house if the party is adults only, or no more than 6 adults if there are children coming.

The top bunks are for children less than 100 lbs. only.

2 master suites were awesome for 2 couples.

Very nice place. We especially appreciated the golf cart, for riding around town and on the beach, and the pool for the hot and humid days. Bonus of two washers and dryers so each couple could use simultaneously. It was our first visit to Port A, and we loved it.

Best place in Port A!

Crustacean Station was by far the best place we have ever stayed at in Port Aransas! The house had everything we needed and more! Everything was perfect - the house, pool, golf cart, location, everything! We had everything we needed during our stay and the extra touches by the hosts were perfect, not to mention the beautiful decor in the home! We can’t wait to stay here again! Thank you to the hosts for allowing us to stay and making amazing memories with our family!

Perfect Port Aransas Beach House

This house is exactly what you want in a Port Aransas beach house -- spacious, super clean and nicely decorated with a private pool and golf cart included. It is exactly as shown in the pictures. The layout and quality of the house was perfect for a family trip and allowed folks to nap when they needed without the whole house having to go into quiet mode. Also, the hosts helped us get prepared before our trip with a lot of useful information and stayed in contact with us as we needed them during our trip without being intrusive.

Nice House Infested with Cockroaches

This is the 5th time VRBO has requested I re-write my review. I don't think they want a truthful review. This house is very nice, but infested with cockroaches. There were many other issues, but if I list them, they will make me re-write the review. I would not stay here again. I will not book with VRBO again.
