Amazing property super close to the ocean. Was fantastic for our large party. The downstairs unit is actually separate and has its own entrance. The only downside for us was there was no basic seasoning such as salt or pepper and no blow dryer is provided. We will return in the future.
Location was PERFECT for what we wanted (peace and privacy). It is a very short walk to a great beach. The sleeping areas were comfy and linens were clean. There were a plethora of clean towels for both bath and beach provided. Communication with host management was on point before and after. The price was very reasonable. The house is a bit dated. We had issues with the plumbing (both a shower and a toilet, in different bathrooms). The garbage disposal did not work. The outdoors furniture has seen better days. Going through the kitchen implements feels like a trip to the thrift store. The coffee maker upstairs did not work. Attention: coffee is NOT provided. There is a little kit for dish washing (1 day worth). The dryer protested a little and the filter had to be thoroughly cleaned before use. We did not tempted faith with the washer. Overall it felt like nobody had been in the house or inspected the details that you may give for granted in other stays in a while. The host company was VERY responsive when we informed them of all the maintenance issues and we got about a 10% reimbursement immediately for all the inconveniences. They could not get anybody on site because it was a holiday. OVERALL THE EXPERIENCE WAS FANTASTIC. All the maintenance issues did not detracted for the fact that it is a good house in a magical location and it worked for us. Thank you for your hospitality.
We enjoyed our stay very much, all was as described in listing. Seperate living areas worked great for out of state family that came to visit. We will be back. Great location and property.
House did not have a beach view but was in a convenient location to get to the beach. House was comfortable but could use some bathroom updates. Would have liked a little later check out time on departure day. The ten AM check out is a little early making everyone rush to leave. Being a pet friendly location is a plus for people traveling with pets. The description said it had easy access to the board walk but not really sure about that due to the gated portion of the community at the end of the street.Overall would give the property a three star rating.
The house was what we expected. Was very clean and the kitchen had plenty of dishes and pans. We did struggle with the downstairs door a little. The handle is loose and the door didnât always shut easily and twice it stuck and it took us a little bit to get it open. Overall it worked well for us.
This house is very close to the beach but you donât really have access to walk to it unless the gate is open (we arenât given a password). It sleeps 8 comfortably⊠little kids would be ok on the futons but bedding was not provided. The mosquitos are very bad, bring bug spray!!! And be aware that the first level sleeps four and the other beds are downstairs with a different door (no access from upstairs) this would be hard with young kids. Overall we still had a good stay.
The top story was nice and a nice porch but not very scenic. The walk to the boardwalk to get to the beach was farther than I would like. The bottom story has no access to the top floor which makes it hard to be available for children of a certain age. Swimming pool was directly across from this property. Spiders were a problem on the bottom story. Hairdryer was broken and sparked up a small flame. Construction was next door so always noisy. Will not rent here again
Cons: Horrible smell. Fishy, stale, with air freshener on top. Home is in disrepair and filthy. Stained throw pillows. Stained sofa downstairs. Stained sleeping pillows. Food spilled on walls, food spilled on cabinet doors, broken kitchen drawers. Broken dishwasher, filled with nasty water. Broken towel holders. Shower door wonât close. Rain shower head wonât function. AC condensates and drips/blows water. Stove top burners broken/not functioning. Door handles broken or not functioning. Sliding doors cannot be closed except by adult they are so stuck. Mini refrigerator smelled like week-old fish. Bathroom faucet spews water out like a fire hydrant. One sofa downstairs was covered in hair or some kind of fibers. Decorations are broken/chipped, then glued or taped back together. Not enough paper towels, or toilet paper, not enough bathing towels for our stated group size. This is a sad standard for a rental home. Home needs deep cleaning and laundering of throw pillows. Some new items- a sofa being one, and a multitude of repairs!
Pros: Had electricity, hot water, and was close to the beach.
We enjoyed the house that was just a short walk to the beach. It was in a nice neighborhood that felt safe. The house could use a good cleaning and maintenance. We recommend.
Great location. Walking distance to beach. Nice pools in the community. AC works great and back porch set up nice for relaxing with ocean breezes. Plenty of TVs. Stairs and side porches needing some repairs. Getting unsafe. Floors in upstairs unit very dirty. Found hair and tar left from previous vacationers. Units need updated bath mats and dish towels need to be in kitchens. Upstairs refrigerator door does not stay closed well. But even though few inconveniences, we always have a great time in Port Aransas Lost Colony.
This is actually 2 separate units which makes safety and adequate supervision of children staying downstairs difficult. Over 3 hours to get access to the property. Codes change without notice and dont match what was provided. Nowhere near beach front and you cant even drive to the boardwalk because it is gated.
Property was not clean- we had to sweep the floor, the countertops were greasy and there were a few areas where spills have occurred and nobody even used a Clorox wipe to clean it, it was sandy and dirty. The deck, the outlets, the power cords are all unsafe. The beds are nowhere near comfortable-
There is NOT a grill- the âbeach accessâ- is not even this propertyâs access. We had to walk through another property to get to the beach.
Even communication including the unsafe issues and the cleanliness⊠I was sent a âThank Youâ text in return.
Great stay overall a wonderful time was had, however many dishes were dirty when we arrived and several of the ones that were put away were also dirty, no problems with getting in and a beautiful well lit home however when we arrived we noticed sand already on the floor and old snacks left in between seats of the sofa. The convenience of the boardwalk was nice and help for beach excursions and the kitchen was well stocked with tools and cutlery.
Great home! Direct walking access to beach. Roomy, well-maintained, comfortable. We had a blast fishing, swimming, sunning, sandcastling, and relaxing with our teenagers.
