Family Vacation

I traveled here to meet my adult children and their families. Plenty of space, and lots of cool spots to gather and have a good time. With all of the grandkids, it was nice to have a pool to ourselves. We had a great time and comfortable stay!

Our stay was good. It could've been great but a lot of issues here and there. Hopefully the owners will take our suggestions so that future guests will have a better stay than we did. The kids did enjoy the pool and had a lot of fun on the golf cart.

Best Beach House vacation EVER!!

The house and property really do live up to its name. We had a ball! It was the perfect place for our family to celebrate my daughter’s graduation from TAMUCC! The 6 seater golf cart was such a great bonus and so convenient that it came with the house. Look no further, this is the PERFECT place for your next family beach getaway!

The BEST Little Shorehouse!

Home was perfect for our two family vacation! 4 kids and 4 adults fit perfectly! Property was exactly as described with lots of bonus amenities! Kids were entertained with the pool, volleyball net, fuzball table and the bottom floor kids space. Beach was a short drive away in the provided golf cart along with shopping and convenience stores. Owners were wonderful. Great communication (they even checked in with us after the first night to make sure everything was great). Would definitely stay again! 5 stars!

Port A Home w/Pool!

This property is in central Port A with easy access to the grocery store, liquor store, shopping, the best candy shop and beach access! We utilized both golf carts since we were a party of 7. Worth the extra expense! The pool and large backyard was great for our kids! We will for sure come back next time we visit Port Aransas! Will say it was hard to get a response from owner when messaging thru VRBO, but texting was super quick response time and no issues reaching the owners. Thank you!

We had such a great stay! The home is incredibly family-friendly, with plenty of space and things to keep everyone entertained. The golf cart was an awesome bonus and added so much fun to our trip. The location is perfect, close to shopping, restaurants, nightlife, and the beach.The beds were super comfortable, and there were more than enough towels and beach towels, we didn’t even use them all! The hosts truly thought of everything; the house was stocked with anything you could need.They were also very responsive and attentive, providing top-notch customer service from start to finish. The welcome bottle of wine was a thoughtful surprise and much appreciated. The property is spacious with lots of parking, which made it super convenient for our group. Our family and close friends all had a wonderful, memorable time. Highly recommend and would definitely return!

Fun house for kids

House was true to pictures and clean. Little nooks, toys and Xbox kept the kids entertained thru rain. Had a fun layout. Close to the shops but need to drive to the beach. Plenty of room for 11 family members to be comfortable. Things I wish I had known: There is a stagnant pond/canal behind the property that is a breading ground for mosquitos. Propane not provided for the grill. There is construction next door but luckily they were off for the holiday. Overall I would stay here again. Great place.

Great fit for our family

Christina was very prompt in responding and ensuring we had what we needed before our stay. It was a very cute, family- style place. It worked great for us and was very unique in the 3 different levels it has with a bedroom on each level. You can tell the owners put a lot of thought into what others would enjoy and had different activities around the home including those for the kiddos. They decorated the place very nice, the beds were comfortable and the golf cart was a big plus. There were a few things that I noticed, mainly in the back yard, that needed tending to but I brought it to Christina's attention and she seemed grateful for letting her know and stated she would ensure to notify those needed. The bottle of wine and welcome book was a wonderful little bonus to our arrival. Overall, we enjoyed it, the location was great and we will definitely be interested in staying again in the future. Thanks Christina and Joseph and we loved your artwork!
