Loved the place

Really enjoyed the property. Needs some minor maintenance done, doors don’t latch properly, oven cook top does not work properly and dryer needs worked on. We will for sure stay again in the future. Love that it has a gate and private drive for the safety of our children.

Father's day/Birthday weekend

The listing was accurate. The rental was very clean and cozy...everything was perfect for our family. We did have some issues arise but the contact person was quick to respond to my text messages and call. The beach and food were all within walking distance. Definitely will book again.

Great Weekend Stay

Terri was a phenomenal host! Quick with responses and very helpful. With the beach house being so close to the water, and a short drive to downtown Port Aransas, the location of the house is nothing short of amazing as well. I would definitley recommend this location to others!
