Close to the beach.

This is a well maintained house with good TVs and wifi. It’s very close to the beach. And the great thing is you get a golf cart with the place!! Thomas was easy to talk to and prompt in response, if you have any questions or concerns.

Great Stay

We had a great spring break! This house was perfect for our two small families. We all enjoyed the heated pool and the cart was a perfect addition. The washer and dryer were brand new and worked great. The kitchen is well stocked as well. We’d love to stay here again if it’s available on our next trip.

White Ave Villa C

Property was very clean, easy and fast communication with the owners, about 5 minutes from the beach if that, lots of nearby restaurants and gift shops, the included 6 seat golf cart and washer/dryer was very convenient to have, the private 4 feet deep pool was a good size for our family, and there were plenty of bathrooms for everyone. There were extra beach chairs and towels on hand just in case, 2 ice makers, corn hole, and extra beach toys. WiFi worked well as well as the streaming apps on the Roku Tv. Our family had so much fun on this trip. We will most definitely recommend to others and we will stay again when we come back to Port Aransas!

RELAXING

Booking, check in, experience of stay, and check out we're all extremely easy and very satisfying. Our group started out large but due to illness it dropped off to a small group. However if our larger group had gone we would have all enjoyed the amenities. Family members who were there had an extremely wonderful time. The golf cart was great to go over to the beach which was just 2 minutes away, and the heated pool was such a treat! It turned cold while we were there and that was such a pleasure and entertainment. The kitchen was fully stocked and we were able to have wonderful meals together. Does sleeping accommodations were fabulous and very very comfortable. We had just a few questions and they were addressed immediately. We were highly satisfied with our stay.

Started fine, ended in Absolute Disappointment!!! Dirty!!

My family (5) flew down from Ohio. We haven't seen each other since summer of 2019, so we wanted to do something special. Great communication leading up to arrival: quick response to questions, sent list of places to eat/shop, gave info about beach passes etc. Check in wasn't until 4p, so we had some fun in the day and arrived tired and ready to unpack and crash at 9pm. Upon entry we immediately noticed that this home had not been cleaned. It was disgusting. There were crumbs on every surface, spilled cereal on the counter, dirty dishes in the sink and dishwasher, trash in random places, leftover food in fridge and pantry, dirty (spoiled milk) towel in washer, ALL beds were messed up and obviously slept in, dirty towels piled on bathroom floor, a dirty handkerchief on a chair, burnt food covering stove top burners, flies all over. It smelled, funky. The outside table had greasy goo on it so we couldn't even use that while we waited FOREVER to get ahold of someone. We seriously thought maybe we had arrived at the wrong house and triple checked the address. We called, emailed, and texted constantly until the media manager called us. She apologized and arranged for a housekeeper to come out. At this time, we also noticed the crock pot I had emailed to confirm would be there, was not. We were told we could purchase one and be reimbursed. We had planned to make a big crock pot meal each morning to be ready in the evening. Now that wasn't going to be possible. We had 5 kids with us (3, 7, 8, 12, 15) and 5 adults (one was 69 yrs old). We decided that by the time someone would thoroughly clean the house, we could be almost back in Houston. Where were we going to wait while the house was cleaned? This and we couldn't unpack until the house had been cleaned. We would be so tired of waiting up to unpack the next day would be ruined. AND we would still need to go out and buy a crock pot or new food. So, at around 10:30p we decided to leave. Our family trip was completely ruined. Our food spoiled. We ended up getting a hotel room in Victoria for the night because we were so tired. Someone (media manager?) immediately (same night) reimbursed the full price paid and texted the next day to ask for the pictures we took, but it's been 5 days and I haven't heard from anyone. I understand it is the cleaning company that messed up, but no one has reached out to us at all! Also, you will NEVER get a hold of anyone at VRBO for any assistance. Book at your own risk!!

Amazing family stay

Our family had an amazing time. We had plenty of room for everyone, we enjoyed the outdoor space, playing bags and playing in the pool each evening. It was such an added bonus to be able to jump on the golf cart and go to the beach, it for a meal or to the store. The house was decorated nicely and we would stay again when we come back to beautiful Port Aransas. Thank you so much for everything!
