The apartment was clean and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the large balcony and access to the private fishing pier. The management company was excellent with their quick response and solution when the AC unit failed to cool at the initial unit. I would absolutely stay here again. ##### april Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent Jun 23, 2025 #### Port A Getaway Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful.

You can unwind after a day at the beach with some fishing off the dock. The location is still old town feel and it's easy to get around. We stay in an efficiency and it's perfect for 2 people. ##### Jill H. ### 6/10 Okay #### Kathleen N. Jul 10, 2025 Liked: Check-in, location #### Disappointed Check in was great and we loved our time at Port Aransas, however we had several problems with our unit. The air conditioner did not work for two days and after three calls to the office/emergency # it was finally fixed. There was mold in the cabinets above the stove and some of the dishes were dirty. We ended up washing everything we used just to be on the safe side. Bonus... cockroaches in the bathroom. We will definitely go back to Port Aransas but will be staying elsewhere. ##### Kathleen N. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### lori c. Oct 11, 2023 #### Nice Stay at Bay Tree 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: We have stayed at Bay Tree many times over the years and have always been very happy with the property. We like the location because it is away from the crowds and has a nice view of the channel. The pool is always sparkling clean. Some of the Units are better than others. Unit D5 hasn't been updated as nicely as some others. It is functional but dated. The stove and microwave really need to be replaced and the bathroom could use an update too. As previously mentioned though, it is comfortable and functional. We can recommend Bay Tree highly. ##### lori c. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Houston Airport Marriott at George Bush Intercontinental](https://www.expedia.ca/Houston-Hotels-Houston-Airport-Marriott-At-George-Bush-Intercontinental.h22967.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Antonio-Hotels-JW-Marriott-San-Antonio-Hill-Country-Resort-Spa.h2841775.Hotel-Information) > > [Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Gaylord-Texan-Resort-Convention-Center.h985065.Hotel-Information) > > [Home2 Suites by Hilton Lewisville Dallas](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Home2-Suites-By-Hilton-Lewisville-Dallas.h45970429.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Bahamas](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Bahamas-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d13-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hilton DFW Lakes Executive Conference Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Hilton-DFW-Lakes-Executive-Conference-Center.h6039.Hotel-Information) > > [Omni Frisco Hotel at The Star](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Omni-Frisco-Hotel.h18919478.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Quebec](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Quebec-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d11183-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [The Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel & Convention Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Conroe-Hotels-The-Woodlands-Waterway-Marriott-Hotel-Convention-Center.h907442.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Dublin](https://www.expedia.ca/Dublin-Hotels.d178256.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Westin Dallas Fort Worth Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-The-Westin-Dallas-Fort-Worth-Airport.h1653.Hotel-Information) > > [AT&T Hotel & Conference Center at the University of Texas](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-ATT-Hotel-Conference-Center-At-The-University-Of-Texas.h2169414.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hyatt DFW - Connected to the airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Grand-Hyatt-DFW.h1209294.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Rancho Mirage Golf Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Mission-Hills-Golf-Resort-Spa.h4124.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin At The Woodlands](https://www.expedia.ca/Conroe-Hotels-The-Westin-At-The-Woodlands.h13173066.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency DFW International Airport - Adjacent to Terminal C](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-DFW.h22022.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Montreal Metropolitan, BW Signature Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels-Hotel-Montreal-Metropolitain.h33679412.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Dallas - Richardson](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Dallas-Richardson.h18234.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Guatemala City (GUA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/gua/toronto-to-guatemala-city) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Sepang (KUL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/kul/toronto-to-kuala-lumpur) > > [Flights from Detroit (DTW) to Fort Lauderdale (FLL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/dtw/fll/detroit-to-fort-lauderdale) > > [Flights from New York (JFK) to Delhi (DEL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/jfk/del/new-york-to-delhi) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Athens (ATH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/ath/toronto-to-athens) > > [Flights from Detroit (DTW) to Nashville (BNA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/dtw/bna/detroit-to-nashville) > > [Sun Country Airlines](https://www.expedia.ca/Sun-Country-Airlines-Flights.cSY.Travel-Guide-Airlines) ### Packages
