ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!

Before booking the house we had a few questions and the owners wrote back right away. Great location, close to town and to the beach! When we arrived the house and pool were clean and ready for us to enjoy our vacation. Having the golf cart included made our trip a lot more simple! The pingpong table was super fun to have for the evenings. Rooms are spacious and beds are comfortable. We will for sure be back!

Family mini vacation

This is our second time renting from this property manager. The house was perfect for our family mini vacation this past weekend. This house is super close to the beach. You can walk or take the golf cart. The golf cart is the perfect addition! Our kids loved riding around in it almost as much as going to the beach :) No issues and will def stay again.

Beach Bliss

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Pura Playa! The house and property were very clean and it was the perfect setup for our family of six. We loved the pool with the privacy fence and appreciated the extra perks such as a ping pong table, corn hole, beach toys and the golf cart. We were minutes away from the beach which made the experience even better. We would definitely stay here again!

Part Aransas Trip

Nice home, close to the beach, nice having the golf cart. Unfortunately, several key details need to be addressed in order for this to be anywhere near a 5 star property especially considering cost and nearby competition. Ad states beach gear in the garage. Most of which is unserviceable and consists of 0 umbrellas, 1 broken cooler, a couple tattered beach chairs, and 2 broken boogey boards, and the worst 4 worn out ragged beach towels. Worn so thin you can see through them, barely useful as garage rags. The pool. didn't ever appear to be cleaned even though ad states pool is cleaned weekly. Upon arrival there was sand in the pool which remained all week. Although sand is not an issue I question the health concerns that come w/ the pool water not being regularly checked for chemicals/salt PH etc. Landscaping around the pool was neglected as well. Weeds and grass growing through the cracks in the cool deck and overall not maintained. Worst part of the rental though was the furniture. Specifically the patio furniture around the pool and the Living room furniture. The living room furniture is dirty and the couch is incredibly uncomfortable and unusable. It needs to go in the trash. No member of my family or visiting guests were able to use the couch due to its condition. Patio furniture around the pool is also Filthy and missing pieces, simply unusable/Trash. Disgraceful to have furniture in this condition in a $5k week rental. The owner's can and need to do better.

Perfect Beach Getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Port A and this property exceeded our expectations! The house was ideally located near the beach; well equipped with everything you need; and, on top of that it's decorated with a beachy getaway theme. Beds were very comfortable and the pool along with the Gulf Cart are added bonuses. We'll definitely be back again! The owners were wonderful, great communication and provided tips for the local area. Thanks so much for sharing your home!

Great location

We stayed here for a family vacation with our adult kids. The heated pool and the golf cart was a big bonus. The outdoor furniture was adequate. The beach chairs we not the most comfortable but they did the job. The lounge sofa by the pool has seen better days but with the salt air I’m sure it’s very difficult to keep up! We would definitely stay here again. The bedding was pretty comfortable and the bathrooms were very clean. Leslie was very accommodating.

About the host

Hosted by Leslie

Host profile image
Hi - I'm Leslie, and with my husband Jeremiah, we recently purchased Pura Playa as our second home in Port A. We are 5th generation Texans (I'm from Carrizo Springs, he's from Sterling City), who for the past 25 years have lived in Round Rock.

Our family has been coming to Port A for years - I came when I was a little girl (don't ask the year). When we had our children, we would summer here in a cramped, rusty but awesome travel trailer. We helped clean up our neighbors homes after Harvey. This town, and the Texas Coast, is our home away from home!

My husband is an avid fisherman and can help you with the hotspots, too! He loves to fish Redfish Bay, Aransas Bay, and all the way down to the Land Cut (he told me to write this).

I love to head down to the beach right at daybreak for some quiet time. In the evenings, at least once per trip, is a a family tradition of "shark in the dark!"

There's nothing better than an evening with those who you love while feeling the ocean breeze.

I hope you enjoy our home, and please let me know if you have any questions!

Why they chose this property

This 2014 built stilt home is loaded - pool, bbq pit, corn hole boards, and ping pong on the ground floor, with a spacious living room and sleeping for nine upstairs.

Master bedroom has a queen bed with private bath, with the second bedroom also having a queen bed. The kids' room has a bunk bed with trundle. Plenty of room for the entire family!

We are five minutes by cart or by foot to the beach, too!

Come enjoy our Pura Playa!

What makes this property unique

3 bed, 2 bath... a private pool.... and a 6 passenger golf cart! 5 minutes to the beach by foot or cart!
