The house has a surf shack vibe and the cassette tape player was an added bonus as we were able to play some old mixed tapes during happy hour. Another fun trip to Port A. ##### Walter v.

The house was older but worked well for what we needed. Starkey was very easy to get in touch with if we needed anything. I wish we had more towels and the main bedroom bed was softer. Also there were stickers in the yard that we tracked into the house, a washer and dryer wouldve been nice as well but there would be nowhere to place it. Overall it was a great experience and I appreciated all of the amenities that they provided in an older house! ##### Steven W.

I would not recommend this place ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2020 ### 4/10 Poor #### Chris Jun 8, 2025 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Cozy little house in an excellent location. The house was built in 1945, has some hardwood floors and a nice little pergola out back. We used the outdoor shower daily and is also a neat feature. The shower/tub in the house drains slow, possibly clogged with sand. I had to change the AC filter as the AC struggled to keep up and maintain 75° most of the time. The old filter was dated 9-2024 and was clogged badly. The new filter didn't make much difference. The back yard was severly over grown with weeds and stickers. Most of the decor was mismatched and looked to be from rummage sales. If we had planned to prepare and eat meals on site, it would have been almost impossible without buying eating utensils. There is a single fork and 2 teaspoons. The beds are all broke down and you roll to the middle. There isn't much lighting in the bedrooms as all the lights have been replaced with ceiling fans only and a single lamp on a table. All these "minor" issues add up to make for an unpleasant experience but the issues could be corrected to make this location a nice stay. ##### Chris Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Penny L. Apr 26, 2017 #### Schnauzer Heaven Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is the second time we have stayed here with our 2 schnauzers. It's certainly not fancy, but it's comfortable and walking distance to many restaurants. Take a flashlight, because there is no front porch light, and the back porch light has never worked. Management should repair the cold water valve in the bathtub. There were a few roaches when we arrived, but they soon cleared out. ##### Penny L. ### 4/10 Poor #### Jeanne L. Jul 8, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Not as advertised I don't like to give negative feedback but I wish someone had alerted us that this property was not anything close to what was advertised. It is an old home, yes, but in quite a state of disrepair. It was not clean; it smelled bad; the furniture and rugs were stained; and it was generally not comfortable. We reserved a larger house so our family could congregate and cook, etc. but we only were able to shower and sleep. The yard is overgrown and full of sticker burrs and weird fencing and other random junk (not safe for kiddos or for enjoyment). It was frustrating to drive around and see all the very nice, well kept houses that we could have stayed at. ##### Jeanne L.

I have rented from Starkey which is always a pleasant experience. Good points— air was super cold, very comfy beds, house was old but eclectic so we had fun pointing out all the cool objects daily we found something new. Bad points— there were no decent pans to cook with, no biggie I bought a 10 dollar skillet at dollar general and we were fine, the yard is one reason we rented here and it was lacking maintenance and grown up. None worth complaining about in the moment, nor did any of it keep us from having a great time. I almost called and asked if my plumber hubby could fix the shower head on the front outside shower :) And... we left the house much cleaner than we found it. ##### Carla M.

The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were looking for an authentic Port Aransas experience, and I think we got one. We wanted to live like locals for a month, and not like the resort style neighborhoods on the other side of the island. Oldtown is a fantastic location for those who want to walk and bike everywhere. The house is surrounded by restaurants and a quick half mile walk (on a low traffic street) to the ocean, or a half mile in the other direction to the marina and jetty. The house itself has lots of room for improvement, and it could have been more clean, yet everything you need is there. The backyard was what attracted us to this home. We did not see bugs or mosquitos here in January. The monthly price felt like a good value. It was great for us as a couple with 2 dogs. There is even a dog door! If you go looking for flaws you will find them, yet overall we do love this old house and we would rent here again. ##### A guest from Fruitland, WA This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Ruben M. Jul 7, 2017 #### A very old house Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House was extremely old, circa 1945, so it required some extra care in some places. Rooms were a good size though mattresses were a little worn out. Excellent hot/cold water availability. The kitchen was suitable but pantry and supplies were quite steak knives, coffee filters, sugar, lighter/matches, sponges...just little annoyances here and there that add up. (Hard to tell if it's greedy guests or a cheap/uninterested restocking any case we left the knives and a few other things for the next guests.) Happy to have the toaster/blender/coffee maker though. Backyard was nice but not as private as photos appear...neighbors are visible through sections of dilapidated fences and there's loud commercial construction going on at the Station St side. WiFi was excellent as was cable, and we got a kick out of the large \*VHS\* collection of 13-yr-old was fascinated by a technology he'd never seen before. Location is very good, quick to the beach and nearby restaurants.Overall I'd say the property was adequate for our needs. Just a middle of the road rental, nothing special that stands out from other properties in Port A. ##### Ruben M. ### 8/10 Good #### Renae A.

Dishes and utensils were not washed right, charcoal grill not very safe, broken door on outside shower and sprinklers would turn on throughout the day and night. It was okay and was close to beach and restaurants. ##### Louie H. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Chuck D. Nov 24, 2022 #### A Week in November Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: For over 30 years we've spent a November week in Port A, 3 or 4 times at this same rental property. It's still a charming little house, but it seems to have lost some of the appeal it had before it was sold a few years back. It could use some love and attention (fix the window screens, please). Nevertheless, our week there this year was just fine. ##### Chuck D. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vivian S., San Antonio Jul 4, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cute and comfy Overall great stay. I would stay again. Great location! Everything you need to bbq or make A meal. Utensils, Crock Pot, Pots & Pans. Concerns: Watch out for the stickers in the grass (front yard and back yard.!) Bathroom doors don’t lock. ##### Vivian S. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bethany V.

The location is great, the house was clean, and loved the outdoor seating area and outside shower WITH hot water! There is also a shower out front perfect for rinsing all the sand off beach stuff. I enjoyed all the decorations in the home. Very nice!! ##### Bethany V. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ben M.

May 2, 2022 #### Great Old Town Location Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Rental is very inviting and comfortable. The rental for our family very well. The house is centrally located to everything you need. We have stayed at this home twice now. Both times we believed that the home needed to be better kept with and updated features wouldn’t hurt. Bathroom in hallway had some issues with shower curtain. We moved the coffee table in the living room and it looked like it had never been cleaned under. We ran the vacuum one day to keep sand control down and it wouldn’t even suck. We spent 30 minutes cleaning it out to be able to use it. We have a large group with children and found out the hard way the backyard is very inviting but covered with poor landscaping, over grown, stickers, and stinging nettle. Backyard now for the second time needed to be mowed and trimmed, as well as the front. ##### Britany W. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hyatt Regency Dallas](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Dallas.h24753.Hotel-Information) > > [Renaissance Austin Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Renaissance-Austin-Hotel.h8075.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Austin](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Austin.h21746.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Houston Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Houston-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Houston.h20005.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Van Zandt](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Hotel-Van-Zandt.h10269315.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Houston/Galleria](https://www.expedia.ca/Houston-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-HoustonGalleria.h10620692.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott Marquis Houston](https://www.expedia.ca/Houston-Hotels-Marriott-Marquis-Houston.h14986044.Hotel-Information) > > [Omni Dallas Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Omni-Dallas-Hotel.h4488581.Hotel-Information) > > [Omni Barton Creek Resort & Spa Austin](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Omni-Barton-Creek-Resort-Spa.h687230.Hotel-Information) > > [The Woodlands Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Conroe-Hotels-The-Woodlands-Resort.h25794.Hotel-Information) > > [Signia by Hilton La Cantera Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Antonio-Hotels-Signia-By-Hilton-La-Cantera-Resort-Spa.h284306.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Austin](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Austin.h8778760.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Americas-Houston](https://www.expedia.ca/Houston-Hotels-Hilton-Americas-Houston.h976144.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Austin](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Fairmont-Austin.h18156638.Hotel-Information) > > [The LINE Austin](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-The-LINE-Austin.h23193716.Hotel-Information) > > [C.
