10/10 Excellent

The home itself was perfect; comfortable, clean cold a/c, stocked to the nines. This rental is the best my family has stayed in at Port Aransas. We didn't have to make the standard Wal Mart run for knives, trash bags, shampoo, etc. the kitchen was stocked better than mine at home, even the bathrooms had thoughtful items I didn’t even think to bring but needed. The property is amazing! Two pools, one with a playground, 3 reserved parking spots, pickets to rinse off the sand. Everything was so...
