Location location location!

This home is right on the water, so the ocean views are stunning and it's hugely convenient being able to easily go back and forth from the house to the beach. Our only complaint was the strong, moldy smell that was quite overpowering when you entered the home. I know it's the beach and battling the constant moisture is hard for homeowners, but the smell was really bad and should be addressed. We didn't let that hinder our stay and would absolutely book this home again.

Amazing!

This house was so beautiful! You can’t find a place without a view of the ocean. Our family had a quick walk to the beach or community pool. It was a wonderful week! The a/c went out the second day and the management had someone out and fixed it within a few hours. It was so nice to be able to have great service! Thank you and we will be back!

Amazing view but house needs help

It was 100% worth it to stay here since it’s directly on the beach and has amazing views. Only problem was that the door to the deck to see said beach was broken and tied together with some string. It was a little dirty but not terrible. All in all would recommend but for the price they should make sure it has functional doors.

Beautiful location

Very comfortable house, had every kitchen need, but main deck patio door broken and they wanted us to go downstairs from kitchen, up ramp to use main deck. Horrible! Get door fixed yesterday!! Not acceptable!! Why can’t they put king beds instead of gueens in 2 bedrooms?? Again, wonderful location on beach and clean pool very close by.

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication

Check-in was Rough

The codes came from some other website other than VRBO and went to junk mail. We were waiting around 45 minutes after check-in time in 100+ degree weather trying to get into the unit. Texting and email via messenger on the VRBO app. No response! House has damaged door that has rotten wood and beyond difficult to open. In addition, the house smelled of mold and mildew the entire stay. Not a huge fan of this rental. Had much better accomadations in the past when in Port Aransas.

Beautiful waterfront home

Pros: Gorgeous comfortable home for our family of 8 to share comfortably. Comfortable beds/pillows Lots of housewares needed for cooking provided Family games provided for adults and children Views of the ocean from all but 2 rooms Cons: the thermostat on the third floor is locked and set at 55 degrees. It was freezing! We called Vacasa the first night and they said they didn’t have a key. Offered to bring more blankets, which never arrived. We ended up shutting the vents in both bedrooms (one of the hock is the master) which was very loud. I’m sure the owner is paying way more than necessary for their electric bill because of this. The blender doesn’t work. We were looking for a mixer (not provided) and tried using the blender, but it doesn’t turn on. It would be nice to have boogie boards/beach chairs available

What A Dump!

This horrible experience started with the total lack of communication from Vacasa when we were trying to confirm whether the home was not affected by Beryl, and the roads were clear. Some of our family were driving 10 hours, so we wanted confirmation before we drove down. I received nothing back from Vacasa before we left to drive down, and when I did, it sounded like an AI response telling me all about Beryl and where it made landfall and if my vacation home was in that area I should check on it. That’s what I was trying to do!! It took more than 24 hours for communication, and some questions weren’t responded to until we’d been checked out for two days! Outside the paint is peeling. Inside there’s a huge dent in the wall and nasty looking stain from leaks. The top floor AC doesn’t work. It was set on 74 and wouldn’t get above 64! We let them know about this on the first day, and no one came to fix it in the 4 days we were there, didn’t even have a response. There is no grill, and no grill in the community you can use. I’ve been coming to Port A for over 50 years, and this was the worst rental, the worst communication, the most neglected as far as maintenance etc, and the most expensive I’ve ever stayed in. Definitely not worth the money, even though it had pretty views. This unit is very close to the rental next door who had barking dogs when we were trying to enjoy our deck. There is NO way to get a hold of anyone at Vacasa who is local, they are all in another state.

Lost Colony #5 Beach house

Loved how close it was to the beach & the view was Awesome! Plenty of room for our 6 adults/6 children. Disappointed in the deck doors. Read a review months ago about the door handle missing, but when we arrived, it was still not repaired. It was a BIG inconvenience!!!!! Should be able to do maintenance sooner than that; or deduct some cost off the price!!
