Family Getaway

This is such a sweet little spot. It's not too far from anything but not too close the touristy folks. It is decorated so cute. The rooms were larger than expected. Loved having our own walkway to the beach. The golf carts can be delivered and are reasonably priced. We enjoyed our stay. Owners are very nice and easy to communicate with.

Beautiful Condo

Beautiful beach/flamingo themed condo, seconds from the pool and a little bit of a walk to the beach. The condo community was quiet during our stay. The amenities in the condo were great. The host was quick to respond to any questions we had. We would definitely stay there again.

Fabulous beach break

Had everything we needed, close to the beach and especially the pool. We were able to prepare food at the condo, and take care of laundry. The beds are awesome. Communicated with owner over a minor issue, reply was prompt and resolved the issue. Definitely would stay again and recommend to friends.

Thanksgiving

This was our first trip to The Island with family for Thanksgiving. This little villa was perfect for my family of 4. It was very clean & smelled really nice every time we came in the door, which is a plus in my book!! It had everything I needed to prepare several sides for Thanksgiving dinner. The owners were so nice & answered any questions I had in a timely manner, as well. We definitely enjoyed our stay & look forward to staying again in the near future!

Labor Day getaway

The Flamingo House was a great! s The bedrooms were a nice size and I liked that each room had their own bathroom/shower! Having a washer/dryer in the unit was also very helpful! We drove to the beach due to the amount of stuff we needed to bring for my granddaughter, but it is definitely walkable! The area seemed very quiet as well. The kitchen was well equipped which was very nice. Communication with the owner was wonderful- quick response with any question I had. I would definitely stay here again.

Flamingo House

The Flamingo House in Port A was nice….had everything we needed & extras but it would’ve been nice if the TV had a little more detail instructions since we were trying to get it turned on for about 30 min….also I think the light bulb in the main bedroom on the lamps AND ceiling fan need changing. Had issues every time with the bedside lamp. Otherwise it’s cute & within the distance we needed to get to our other party close to town. Would stay here again. Thank you for the hospitality & sharing your cute Flamingo House.

Cute and good location

Overall a good stay, however, the tv in the guest bedroom did not work- it was not even connected. We reported and did get a response, but unfortunately, no resolution- which I understand because of the short time frame. After going through reviews, I noticed the guest room tv issue was mentioned by a prior guest. If the tv issue cant be resolved, maybe the amenities need to be updated on the site. It would have been nice to be able to relax and watch tv in the evenings. Other than that, really no complaints. The accommodations were good and the beds were very comfortable. I would recommend staying here, just be aware of the tv issue in the guest room.

Decent Beach House

Pros - the owner was super friendly and responsive. The Flamingo house was located close to the beach and other attractions such as shopping, dining, etc. I thought the Flamingo theme was cool. Cons - the following items, while not deal breakers, definitely detracted from our stay. The internet service was spotty at best and would randomly go out for extended periods of time. We'd come home from the beach and the wifi would drop and then it would come back on and go out again. The TV/cable would glitch/freeze/stutter for unknown reasons and certainly more often than we would have liked. The pool, while clean, was simply unusable due to the ungodly high water temperature. It was literally like bath water and the opposite of refreshing. It might be a bit unfair to hold this against the owner/property. I get it...it is Texas in the summer but its worth mentioning that the pool isn't really an option. Overall,

Nice. Not great, but a decent deal for the money

The host communicates well. The neighborhood is decent. The pool could use some work and be cleaner. The interior of the home is nice but could also be a little cleaner. The guest room is really nice but the master bedroom (especially the bathroom) needs updated/cleaned. The host was very good and helpful with our questions/requests.

Sweet Little Condo

Our family of 5 stayed here. We thoroughly enjoyed the convenience of this property. The boardwalk to the beach was so NICE! The pool was well taken care of and the community was super quiet. The owners were sure to communicate a few days ahead of time to ensure easy check-in. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

Nice amenities

The condo looks just like the pictures they post and my mom loved all of the flamingos. It's great that there's a private bathroom in each bedroom. Loved sitting outside with coffee in the morning and watching the hummingbirds and dragonflies. Loved that the pool is about 6 steps from the condo and the beach access is a short walk. What I didn't like at all was walking into the condo for the first time and seeing dead roaches on the floor and finding live ones throughout the week. This is my first trip to Port Aransas and I don't know if this is just normal to expect anywhere I would go there? But it made the week stressful always being on the watch for them and not sleeping well at night in case they were in the bedrooms.

Condo clean however…

The condo was cute and clean however I was taken aback by 3 dead roaches on den floor and 3 live ones…one on kitchen counter and two on den walls. Maybe someone exterminated. Also tv in master didn’t work for us. After being out a lot of day it would have been nice to flop down in bed to watch a bit of tv.

Cute Condo: Walking Distance to the Beach!

Great experience over all: Good communication with the owner Condo was cleaned and in good shape Pool is right outside the front door Beach is a walk across the parking lot and down the path Plenty of amenities for convenience, but you'll need to bring some things, depending on your preferences, like your own water filter pitcher or bottled water, if you don't want to drink from the tap. The freezer has an ice maker, but there's no filtered water dispenser. There are some basic spices if you're going to eat in. There were coffee and powdered creamer, but no filters. There was a fresh dish sponge, but no liquid... minor inconveniences really. The beds were fine, the appliances worked, the water pressure was good, and there were enough positive attributes to outweigh any of the other stuff. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend this rental.

Long walk from the beach

Listing stated that there was only a short walk to the beach. While the property does have a boardwalk over the dunes that accesses the beach, it takes 15-20 minutes at least to walk the full distance with kids and beach items in tow. The beds were disappointing, as well. A thin foam egg crate type pad does not make up for a hard and uncomfortable bed. We did not sleep well a single night we stayed. Also, in the master bedroom, the lights from the adjoining unit stay on all night and shine straight through the bedroom door blinds and curtains. The pool that is just outside the front door was overly flooded for our entire stay due to rain. I contacted the owner beforehand to inquire if the pool were actually open and was told yes when in fact, it was closed due to the flooding. This trip was a fun get-away and work trip combined...except we could not work at all. Internet was non-existent the entire time of our stay. We also had no cell service inside the unit or near the complex. Our best cell service was actually on the beach. To accomplish any work, we had to travel into town. We would have chosen a different place to stay if we had known just one of these issues would be present. It was a disappointing location to stay to say the least.

Fabulous!

Exactly as described, owner was very interactive and responsive in a timely manner. Very cute set up with everything needed. Golf cart rental (very reasonable rates throughout Port A) made trips to the beach easier, but certainly not required if you bring a wagon or have many hands.

Comfy and cute Beach House

The Flamingo House delivers on all promises, easy check-in, and the unit is exactly as described. My daughter was delighted by all the flamingo decor touches! Pool is steps away but everything was quiet and the beds are so comfortable. Kitchen has everything you need for cooking, and the washer/dryer was a delightful luxury at the beach. Great experience.

Great place for 4 girls. Easy entrance into the apartment, good clean space, the street parking was the easiest since it was right by our door. Boardwalk right to the beach was great. And a straight shot into town, only 5 miles out. The owners are super responsive and nice! I would definitely stay here again in the future.

Wonderful Home & Location

We booked our trip before Covid started to disrupt the year. Like most other things, we were unsure how it would impact our trip. The owners of the home were extremely helpful and informative throughout changes and updates regarding Covid Our family had a wonderful time and being so close to the beach allowed us to not fight as much traffic during a busy Holiday Weekend. The home was everything we could ask for. We enjoyed cooking throughout our trip and appreciated the well stocked kitchen. The swimming pool was a great way to relax and cool off after a full day at the beach. Very pleased we chose this home and hope to make it back one day.
