Great November Escape

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: Great location next to pool and boardwalk to beach. Clean inside, the kitchen was well provided for. We definitely used the washer/dryer and appreciated the ability to have our dogs there. Unfortunately the grassy areas are all covered in sand burrs. We had to carry the dogs over the grass. The driveway is a little tight for two cars, but the excess parking is close. We had a battery that needed a jump the last day and the property manager came out with cables! Great service.

Fantastic Location

The location can’t be beat! Easy access to the beach and pool! This beach area was relatively uncrowded, sandy, clean, and shallow—perfect for families and young kids. However, I wish we had been forewarned about the tar. The outdoor shower station in the community had a sign mentioning using the tar removal provided, but we never saw any such product. The property was fairly clean. Downstairs floors need a good scrubbing. Our bare feet were black not long after we arrived! Air filter needs replacing and a thick layer of dust was on the bookshelves in the bunk room. Bathrooms were tidy. It would have been nice, with a young grandson, if we had been able to use the tubs. Showers worked fine. Lots of space for the 5 of us. Would have appreciated some beach towels on site, or just more towels and washcloths for everyone. Kitchen was decently supplied with cookware and appliances, but if you’re planning on making much in the kitchen, you’ll need to bring all the cooking/pantry supplies. But, we had been advised in advance that there weren’t many basics on hand. Overall, we had a nice time and would stay again!

Great access to the beach

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Most of the stay was Great! Positive notes: clean, great access to the beach, dog friendly, check-in process was easy, extra parking lot. Negative notes: clothes dryer and TV did not work. Regarding other comments: “sticky burrs in carpet” I did not notice any burrs inside the house unless we brought them in. For dogs- the grass by the condo and the parking lot has burrs. Instead walk your dog by the entry gate north east side (near the green condo with the boat) and they won’t get burrs.

Mediocre house

The house was old and worn, carpets were dirty. Treads on the stairs loose. It smelt and the air filters were filthy. The pool was extremely dirty. I called and they came and cleaned the pool and air filters but needed the owner to fix the treads. They also sprayed for misquotes which were bad before that. There were no storage container with covers for food, the pots and pans were all scratched non stick so we had to go buy our own and the dishes were all plastic so could not use in the microwave. The beds and baths were clean and acceptable. The beach and deck were awesome!

perfect family vacation spot

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: Our house was clean, beds were comfortable and kitchen had plenty of pots and pans to accommodate whatever we wanted to cook. The deck overlooked the pool and the walk to the beach was super short! My only complaint is that I wish they would have offered a small container of coffee grounds. We didn't go grocery shopping before we came so I had to function without coffee the first morning.

Awful smell, broken appliances, dirty, but close to beach

The positive: we were extremely close to a relatively uncrowded part of the beach. Very little competition or crowds and we enjoyed the beach and the weather. The house was large enough for our family of five and our dog. The neutral: fire ants and stickerburrs were everywhere. That comes with the territory but worth knowing. The bad: the house is built on creosote pilings, which gave the entire place an overwhelming stench of mothballs. We did our best to air out the house and nobody was physically sick from it, but family members in the area with sensitivities to indoor air allergens would not enter the house. We called and were told that was just how the house was and nothing could be done about it. The washing machine wouldn’t spin; we called to let them know and they sent a repair tech over who informed us the drum was broken but otherwise it was fine (which is not fine). No other effort was made to fix it over the weekend so we did our best to hand wash our clothes. The dishwasher was also mostly useless. We didn’t overload it and do know how to use a dishwasher, but this just did not clean dishes. The kitchen table was covered in a sticky film that would not come clean. We had to use our fingernails to scrape up the Monopoly money when we played a game. The stains on the carpet upstairs are everywhere. We get that it’s pet friendly but we also assume a level of cleanliness that simply was not there. Other reviews note some of these issues, they are definitely not reso

Quick May Getaway

I really enjoyed our quick getaway. House was clean and in a cute little gated community. Great location right on beach and house located just a short 5-10 minute ride into Port A in one direction or North Padre in the other. The only thing I wished the house had was beach towels and more full size cleaning items (dish soap, hand soap, kitchen counter disinfectant/cleaner). Other than that I really enjoyed the house and our stay.

Beautiful Location, Unit Needs Some TLC

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved this location. The view was amazing, and the beach nearby was beautiful. We appreciated being able to bring our dogs, and the unit has great potential. The biggest thing that needs to be addressed is the carpet in the upstairs bedrooms. It needs to be ripped out an replaced with hard floors, since it is perfect for holding onto sticker burrs, which are everywhere. We found so many of them in the carpet, and our child stepped on some of them. Above all, the carpets are spotted and stained, and have an unpleasant odor. After staying, I looked at past reviews, and this is not a new issue. People have been complaining about the carpet since at least 2017. That means the carpet has been past its prime for at least six years. We would absolutely return to Lost Colony, but we would search for a new unit, at least until the carpet has been removed.

Siesta by the Sea

We really enjoyed our stay. Excited about the view from the decks and short walk to beach. Even though weather was cool, we walked on the beach each day with our dogs. Kitchen was great for cooking and beds were very comfortable. The couch and living area were great for hanging out together and after Thanksgiving nap. Thank you so much. We enjoyed our stay!!

Long weekend stay

Great time, great place. Very short walk to beach which is tough to find in that area. Easy to get to Port A for dinner or whatever else. Only hiccup we had was wifi wasn't working, but the property management co couldn't have been more helpful. Offered to send someone out relatively late at night. (We deferred to morning and they got up and running right away.) Would go back!

Wonderful weekend

We loved this house!! It was a trip with family: 2 grandparents, 2 adults, 3 twenty-year old & 1 toddler. There is a lot of stairs that were hard on Grandma, but she mostly stayed in the living room off the kitchen. The “ bunk” room is larger than the pictures. The pool was great and our balcony had stairs down to the pool gate - very close! And the boardwalk to the beach was very close also. The house was very clean & had all the extras we appreciated like shampoo & soaps, toilet paper & paper towels, dishwashing soap & even some pods for the clothes washer. The only thing we had to buy was kleenex for each bathroom. The refrigerator had a working ice maker with lots of ice. We all had a wonderful time !! I highly recommend this rental!!

Lovely Property - Poor customer service

Overall it was a lovely property. The pros of this property is location, location, location. Easy walk to the beach. The rooms were roomy, but the upstairs bedrooms didn't cool very well. Property was clean, however, there seemed to be alot of dead bugs in the unit, even under the coffee pot and toaster. Upon arriving later in the evening, we discovered that the lock on the balcony door in the master bedroom was broken. The maintenance man came out and took a look and told us it could not be fixed and they would have to get owner permission to replace. We were a group of 3 single women and I was uneasy about sleeping with a broken lock. Upon speaking with the property manager, she suggested we use a broom stick to secure the door. We did try that but it did not work. She then told us to "live with it or go home". While I realize there was nothing more physically that could be done that night, I wasn't prepared for such a harsh remark. Very disappointing! They did come back out 2 days later and brought a security bar for the sliding door. Also, just a suggestion for future guests, it might be nice to offer some welcoming touches and information about Port A itself.

it was okay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location was great. It was right next to the pool and a few steps away from the walkway to the beach. The home's 2nd and 3rd floors are falling/slanting which was a big shock upon our arrival. The home needs major updating. All the furniture, decorations, and kitchenware is super outdated and are really worn out. There is a hole right outside the back patio stairs that my husband and I stepped into several times. Luckily we did not hurt ourselves but that is definitely a hazard. I have stayed at this community in the past and loved the location but after this experience I will not be staying here again. For the price I'm sure I can locate another property more to my liking for a similar price.
