We Love New Wave!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were so happy when a new management company opened in Port Aransas. We have been renting homes in Port Aransas for many years and finally have a management company that offers a higher level of service. The house was immaculate and ready when we arrived. Check in was a breeze and the office staff was great. Can't wait to come back.

Great Experience

The property was just as described. The house was a perfect fit for the size of our party, which consisted of adults, teenagers and a few younger children! The neighborhood was relatively quiet for the week of Spring Break. Check-in and check-out was easy and convenient. Property management was helpful and very responsive. Short drive to the beach and shopping! Overall amazing experience, would definitely rent this house again!!

Annual Birthday Beach Bash Bonanza

It's always challenging to find a house to fit our large family (including 9 Grandkids). Dolphin Cove was spacious enough for each family to have their bedrooms/bathrooms with plenty of common space as well! The fenced in pool added much appreciated security, and the fire pit was an unexpected bonus! We may have found the perfect spot for our Annual Birthday Beach Bash!

Great Vacation

We went on a family trip with 22 of us, we had an amazing time at the Dolphin Cove. The pool was perfect when we were tired of the beach. Perfect size for us, we will be back. Some of the queen beds seemed to be a full size and not a queen but it still comfortably slept couples.

I do not recommend

The property is ok, but the management is a wreck. We had 3 major problems. 1. Our code did not work for check-in. It took about 30 min. for them to reset the code and send us new ones. They unlocked the doors remotely while waiting for our new code. Wow--they can unlock the doors AT ANY TIME. 2. The pool was filthy. By the time we saw it, it was after 5, and their "emergency" number goes to voicemail. So, I texted the number that sent the codes. I had to send pics of debris floating on top and an amazing amount of sand and leaves on the bottom, so they would call the pool company which was closed. They said they would follow-up and call me in the morning. 11 AM, no call, so I texted AGAIN. They then insisted the pool guy spent an hour cleaning it and the storm 3 days ago made impossible to clean it better. How INSULTING, the two pools on either side of our house were pristine. They finally got someone to clean the pool the day of checkout. Someone should have checked this before our arrival. 3. The AC started leaking in the middle of the walkway downstairs at 8PM our first night. Almost 2 hours later, maintenance came out and found a clogged drain line and cleared it. But also found a bowl and towel under the drain line overflowing. Obviously it was an ongoing problem with a band-aid. The filter was clogged and was supposed to be replace but it never happened. I asked 3 other times because the AC was not cooling well and one room was very warm. You have been warned.

This house was perfect for our company function. Lots of bedrooms with comfortable beds. Pool was awesome! Kitchen had everything we needed. There was a little issue with cleanliness and a couple of maintenance issues and all were corrected immediately. Very secure and quite neighborhood in the evenings. Would definitely stay here again!!

Family at Dolphin Cove

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Dolphin Cove has plenty of space for a large family; the bedrooms are varied (bunk beds and double beds, king beds), allowing for multiple family configurations. The house was fairly clean and well equipped. However, for nearly $2,000 per night, we expected something more than ordinary. The pool may look grand, but it was very small and only 4.5 feet deep. The text says "close to the water." Unfortunately I was not savvy enough to realize that meant driving to the beach would be necessary. Houses are jammed together in the development. On the plus side, when we had a problem with a stair rail, it was fixed expeditiously. The beds were comfortable. The fire pit was a nice touch.

40th Celebration

My wife & I and a close group of friends decided to celebrate hers and another’s 40th birthdays in Port A where we’d all spent plenty of weekends over the years together. Bridget was always very quick to reply to my chats through the VBRO app. On our first evening, one of the rooms above the garage was not cooling. After hours maintenance was quick to come out and bring a portable window unit to get us through the night. The very next day, it was fixed and the room was much more comfortable for our guests in that room. The stay was amazing and the house was just the right touch to top it all off.
