Easter at the beach
The property was spacious and exactly what we needed for our large family stay. The fenced in yard was great for the little kids to play in and stay safe:). The only issues we had were that there was no working coffee maker, but Coffee Waves came to the rescue with 96 oz carafes of coffee. Also, we had to call maintenance to come fix the wifi as it was not working. Prompt attention from the management company though.

Hanselka Family Christmas
Overall very positive appreciation of overall experience- spacious accommodating all members of our 4 generation family; good location; fyi, the commode in the first bedroom leaks at the water inlet connector and couldn’t exit on; Also, about 5’inside the Channelview entrance the flooring is not stable a heavy person might break through if they stepped on it; overall, as stated we were very satisfied…

Annual Family Beach Week
This was the second year our family spent our annual "Family Beach Week" in this beautiful home. With seven bedrooms and ages ranging from 3 years old upward, everyone had room for the privacy they needed. We love the big wrap-around verandah and spent most evenings outside, despite temperatures over 100 degrees. We had an internet problem when we arrived, but it was quickly fixed. The bedrooms and living areas are large and very comfortable. Thank you, again, for the care given to this lovely home.

Disliked: Cleanliness
This home had mice, roaches, and one of the rooms bed frame was collapsed when we got there.
Again, no one expects to see a mouse, or that many roaches roaming throughout the property. In addition, one of the rooms had a broken bed frame. My mom had to sleep on the floor. There appears to be a mold like substance (2 feet tall) in the bathroom. Definitely concerning. Not to mention the flooring which is spiking up creating a dangerous surface. This is especially true for kiddos walking barefoot, or anyone really.

Great Space but Inaccurate description
We booked this home because it is listed as having 7 bedrooms. As a previous reviewer mentioned, there are only 6. This caused issues with us having to sleep with our kids in our own room because there wasn't enough space. The layout of the home is great and we loved the two living areas with plenty of space to hang out. The location is also great. The kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, utensils, etc but there are no spices or any extras of that nature. No coffee provided and only a few of the bathrooms had soap. Overall I was disappointed with the amenities provided. Lastly, the bed in one of the bedrooms is broken and lying on wonky wooden blocks. The mattress is held up by a few planks with half a dozen loose and broken planks hanging down. I tried to contact the property managers about it twice but they never responded. Overall, the house is a good space and a good location. I wouldn't stay here again though.

Wonderful, eclectic home in Old PortAransas
Charming home with a wrap around verandah we enjoyed daily—always a sea breeze and comfortable. Ed’s are very comfortable and the living spaces had plenty of room for all activities - puzzles, computer games or just relaxing Loved being IN Port Aransas and seeing this town from “new”eyes - close enough to walk to watch the dolphins surfing the bow waves in the shipping channel as the tankers came through.

Franklin Family Beach Vacation
We had a wonderful stay at Port Aransas. The house had plenty of rooms to house five families and even offered additional space for our teen boys. We had a wonderful time playing on the back deck and yard with the kids while they waited patiently for the adults to be ready for the beach.

Beatiuful Home for Big Families
Beautiful home for large families. Lots of space for everyone to hang out. Golf cart that is dropped off on day of arrival is a plus and makes it easy to get to the beach and around town. Here are some minor issues we had. 1. Refrigerator and freezer are a side by side. The freezer door is by the wall and does not open all the way. Hard to get food in and out. There is another frig/freezer upstairs so you are able to put larger items up there. 2. Bedroom description and pictures on VRBO is not exactly accurate. Here are the rooms/beds: Downstairs- Four bedrooms with Queen beds. One sofa bed in living room. Upstairs- One Twin bed in the landing area of the stairs. The bed is in shape of a boat so we called it the boat bed. One Full bed in a small room. Another room with a bunk-bed. The bottom mattress is a Full and the top is a Twin. The top bunk is close to the ceiling fan so you cannot have the fan on when someone is up there. Bring sheets and blankets for sofa bed. I hope you enjoy the house as much as we did!

Definitely recommend!!
Beautiful home & perfect layout! It was great having one bedroom by the kitchen for the couple who always wakes up earliest & did most of the cooking. All the teenagers stayed upstairs, & the bedroom with its own bathroom was perfect for me & my 2 kiddos. My toddler loved the arcade game! The backyard was great to hang out with the whole family when we weren’t at the beach, which was only a few minutes away on the golf cart
