Family summer weekend getaway

Communication with property manager was great. House is a little outdated and needs some maintenance, but had what we needed. Location is near restaurants and a short ride to beach. Rental of golf cart and beach chairs is a needed add on.

Great vacation in a beautiful property

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at The Tranquil Turtle. The house was very clean and comfortable for our family of 2 adults and 3 teenagers. It was especially nice having 4 bathrooms. Unfortunately, our dog had a fight with the blinds in one of the bedrooms. We notified the property managers and they were so nice and understanding. They quoted us a price that we felt was very fair to fix the damage. Overall, I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing vacay in Port A.

Relaxville

It was very relaxing. Enjoyed the convenience to beach and eating places. Roomy for for a family and loved having 3.5 baths. The only downside was many of the cooking pans etc need to be thrown out. Many of the pans were rusty or you couldn’t get them clean to use. Overall it’s a thumbs up stay.

Great place for families!

This property was very clean, especially for a pet-friendly rental! The management was on point and took the time out to take care of our needs within a very timely manner. They were super friendly and even let us use their 6 seater golf cart for free! My family and I will definitely be staying here again! 👍🏼💜🌊🏝️🐚

Great place

The property is in a great location just a short walk from a bunch of restaurants and shops. We had some issues checking in: fridge ice maker and water didn’t work, wifi, garage door, and cable tv all didn’t work. The manager brought maintenance out within an hour and all but the fridge was resolved pretty quickly. Overall I would stay there again.

Details and checking things over before new guests arrive.

At bit of an inconvenience to have to deal with issues at the start of our vacation. Air conditioning and obvious oversight on cleaning. Management team was prompt and took care of both issues right away. Cleaning and maintenance teams need to pay attention to more detail. Some furniture needs to be replaced. Overall, wonderful layout and location of property.

Overall a good stay

Things were managed well. Only issue we had was the propane grill did not work and we didn’t realize it until after refilling the propane bottle. They do have backups at the office, but since it was after hours, we went and refilled ourselves.

Amazing Spring Break

This was our first time in Port Aransas and we loved everything about it. The property’s location is perfect for all ages. My kids and their friends were able to walk anywhere. The house is beautiful and it had all we needed. The restaurants were delicious. It was a peaceful vacation for the adults. We enjoyed the afternoon walks and visited the beach everyday for evening walks. We will be back soon. Thank you!
