Sep 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Property was as described, clean, and exactly what we needed. Review would have been five star, however there was no dish soap, sponge or laundry soap provided - it would have been helpful to know this beforehand. It would also be helpful to have more than one extra trash bag provided and may want to consider upgrading the pots/pans. Additionally, the WiFi was not great and although this may not be an issue for some it did present an inconvenience for us as we did need to complete some work related tasks while there. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay and would choose this property again. ##### Heather H.

Plenty of Bunk beds to choose from was fun for kids as well. Plenty of parking and close to most shops and restaurants. Would definitely book again. Thanks! ##### Mary P.

Apr 14, 2024 #### Great house for a family The place is great for a family or a group of friends. We cooked a few meals, skateboarded to the beach and found the neighborhood to be quiet and very chill. The bar had plenty of seating with a nice size kitchen. Bathroom had a big tub for soak and an odd functioning sink. Downstairs shower wasn’t functional for us. Pool was great with outdoor kitchen area for bbq and hangs. Stairs are a bit dangerous so be careful. Over all super cute and would come back. ##### Colette H. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Teresa B. Jun 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Will come again The property owner was very communicative. The property was also quite clean. We would love to stay here again in the future. Admittedly the house internally appeared a bit dated, and the trim of the door inside/outside (main entrance of the house) was very scuffed up, but the door locked well and that is what matters. The toilet lid was cracked upon arrival > I notified the owner right away > they responded. ##### Teresa B.

Oct 16, 2024 #### First Family Vacation Location and size is great for a small family. I do have a couple of pros and cons. Cons: the pool lights and outdoor lighting did not work at all. We would love to go for a late swim but it was too dark. Also the bathroom sink was leaking pretty bad we had to use a towel soak up the water. I would’ve been nice to be made aware that they were having an outside vendor coming to home. A pest control company came to the house to service monthly service and showed up around 7:45am. My kids were just waking up and my husband was still asleep. At least a heads up would’ve been great. Lastly we had A LOT of sugar ants in the kitchen. Especially by the stove and kitchen sink. I couldn’t leave my daughters bottle after I wash them on the counter with out them getting full of ants. I would suggest to find the source and treat it before renting out the house so someone else. The bed in the primary room was super small and uncomfortable. Pros: the private pool was amazing and huge. Location was great I feel like we were right in the middle of town. Everything was close by. The beach was 5 min drive which is not bad at all. Price was great compared to everyone around us and the amenities. I would love to stay here again in the future if all the recommendations are made. ##### Nadia G. ### 8/10 Good #### Kendra B. Aug 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location and service, property needs maintenance We had a great stay with our family and dog. The property was clean and in a central location in Port Aransas, just a stone's throw from the grocery store and other restaurants, stores, etc. We enjoyed the pool, the outside grill, and the kitchen area, and we appreciated the televisions when it rained! When we arrived, none of the exterior lights worked, which prevented us from using the space at night, and it was a security concern taking the dog out at night. The gate to the backyard did not close properly, so we had to devise a way to close it to ensure the dog stayed in the yard. The customer service and property manager were attentive to addressing the issues, but we had to spend the first three nights without these issues being addressed since it was the weekend. We were present when the property manager and electrician came to address the lights. They also decided it would be a good time to have a plumber out to find a possible leak causing the water bill to be too high. They fixed a few exterior lights under the carport and the gate. The pool company never came to fix the pool lights, so night swimming was not an option for us. I would love to stay here again, but I would want everything to be in working order and not have to alert the property manager or homeowner to fix things. ##### Kendra B.

Aug 16, 2024 #### Enjoyable pool house that allows pets We stayed two nights in the middle of July during the weekday. The house itself is comfy and quaint. The house could use a little sprucing up and a deep clean. The windows could use a good wash. Overall the house was clean. We could not figure out how to turn on the pool lights so we can swim at night. There was enough light from the downstairs patio area to light up the pool area but it would have been nice to have more light inside the pool. Both fan porch lights did not light either. There was a fog light at the top of the porch but it would blink on/off and it was annoying. I did reach out to vacasa customer service that night and they tried to assist via their text service but when they couldn't figure it out either, they told me they would send someone over the next day and no one ever stopped by. I did not use the outside grill but there is a picnic table at the downstairs patio. The outdoor shower was nice but again, the light was not working. There is a washer and dryer in the kitchen area that we used but the dryer is extremely loud and shakes. The washer worked great with no issues. Overall, it was an enjoyable stay except for the feedback that I provided. ##### Alejandra D. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jill T.
