Amazing Vacay

We came here for a new years vacay to bring in 2025. The overall experience was great, the hospitality and communication the owner provided was amazing. The property is beautiful and big enough to be comfortable with a bigger family. The location is convenient for everywhere you need to go.We hope to stay here again in the future!

Good for multiple families

The property is conveniently located in the middle of town but you’d never know- it’s somehow very quiet. Plenty of space for 3-4 vehicles to park comfortably. We maxed out the occupancy with three families but there was plenty of space for hanging out and playing. The sleeping spaces for adults were a little difficult to configure but it works fine for three pairs of adults plus kids.

Our bachelor party

This day was awesome. The house was at a great location. The homeowner was a very sweet lady. The only issue I had with this home is there was an apartment attached to the house we rented with the same address... This confused acouple guessed and walked in on a couple in the living room. I was not informed I would be staying in the duplex. So if you're staying in this home and you plan on having a good time into the night, just know, the neighbors will complain

We will be back!

There were 13 of us (family & friends) that stayed at this spacious house. We loved having the split level lodging, 2 kitchens, plenty of bathrooms, and took full advantage of the game room. The owner was great to work with and the check in/out procedures were simple. We felt comfortable going for walks and jogs around the neighborhood each morning and enjoyed walking to eat a couple of times. We will be booking here again on our next trip to Port A!

Adult Vacation

What a great house. We can not express how great of a house this is. We do our Our Adult only Vacation yearly and this was by far the best house we’ve rented. So spacious for 5 couples, we can’t wait to come back and bring our kids to enjoy the house. The beds and sofas are so comfortable and is a perfect location to explore Port A. The hostess is wonderful and kept us well informed. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

We booked this property for a large group of 12 that we’re going on a charter fishing trip. The house was only a few blocks from the dock making it very convenient to walk to the dock the morning of the trip. The house was plenty large enough to accommodate our group and it had a perfect layout with a gameroom, bedrooms, living area and small kitchen downstairs for those “night owls”, and a large kitchen living area, and additional bedrooms upstairs for those of us who prefer to hit the sack a bit earlier. The house was very clean and the owner did a great job communicating and responding to any questions. They were also nice enough to extend our stay when our trip got postponed at the last minute due to weather. We had a great time and would highly recommend this property!

Beautiful home in the heart of Port Aransas

We had a great time and would definitely go again ! Host was excellent and always available for any questions we had about our stay. We loved the layout of the house it provided privacy needed for two families. The house is walking distance to many restaurants and bars. We walked to the fishing pier which is around a mile away. The kitchen was beautiful and well equipped with cooking utensils. Needless to say we had a great time and would love to do it again!

Why they chose this property

We first fell in love not only with the house but the beautiful Oak Trees!!! The location couldn't be better.!!! We wanted to be in the Heart of Port A and we certainly are!!!

What makes this property unique

The Home is located in the heart of Port A, close to the best restaurants, shopping, music venues, marina, beach and bars. You can walk or get on your golf cart and have access to so many locations because the home is located in the middle of the island. The home is set up for entertainment for family and friends with a pool table, foosball and a real tiki bar that seats 6 people. The home has big trees and on a dead-end street so no thru traffic. There is a lush yard with trees and a fire pit for evening entertainment. Numerous decks and patios to relax and enjoy the coastal breeze. The Home is beautifully decorated and has multiple living areas to enjoy together or get away when you'd like some alone time. The home is like having two places because the downstairs is separated from the upstairs.
