Our bachelor party
This day was awesome. The house was at a great location. The homeowner was a very sweet lady. The only issue I had with this home is there was an apartment attached to the house we rented with the same address... This confused acouple guessed and walked in on a couple in the living room. I was not informed I would be staying in the duplex. So if you're staying in this home and you plan on having a good time into the night, just know, the neighbors will complain

We will be back!
There were 13 of us (family & friends) that stayed at this spacious house. We loved having the split level lodging, 2 kitchens, plenty of bathrooms, and took full advantage of the game room. The owner was great to work with and the check in/out procedures were simple. We felt comfortable going for walks and jogs around the neighborhood each morning and enjoyed walking to eat a couple of times. We will be booking here again on our next trip to Port A!

Adult Vacation
What a great house. We can not express how great of a house this is. We do our Our Adult only Vacation yearly and this was by far the best house we’ve rented. So spacious for 5 couples, we can’t wait to come back and bring our kids to enjoy the house. The beds and sofas are so comfortable and is a perfect location to explore Port A. The hostess is wonderful and kept us well informed. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

We booked this property for a large group of 12 that we’re going on a charter fishing trip. The house was only a few blocks from the dock making it very convenient to walk to the dock the morning of the trip. The house was plenty large enough to accommodate our group and it had a perfect layout with a gameroom, bedrooms, living area and small kitchen downstairs for those “night owls”, and a large kitchen living area, and additional bedrooms upstairs for those of us who prefer to hit the sack a bit earlier. The house was very clean and the owner did a great job communicating and responding to any questions. They were also nice enough to extend our stay when our trip got postponed at the last minute due to weather. We had a great time and would highly recommend this property!

Beautiful home in the heart of Port Aransas
We had a great time and would definitely go again ! Host was excellent and always available for any questions we had about our stay. We loved the layout of the house it provided privacy needed for two families. The house is walking distance to many restaurants and bars. We walked to the fishing pier which is around a mile away. The kitchen was beautiful and well equipped with cooking utensils. Needless to say we had a great time and would love to do it again!

Had a wonderful stay
Had a great vacation, the weather was perfect. My kids had so much fun at the beach during our stay. Had a few issues with the house...several light bulbs were out. I have young kids so, having the downstairs completely separate from the upstairs was inconvenient. I didn't want them sleeping down there anyways because it smelled like mold. Theres also a separate unit attached that I wasn't aware of until I booked the home. That would have been a deal breaker for me, because again I have children and I didn't want to be next door to some random guy. So we all slept upstairs. Also, there was no laundry soap so we had to buy our own in order to wash their towels before we left.
