Very convenient location for walking around downtown. It was noisy at night on the weekend due to nearby music venues - bring ear plugs!

Sweet little cottage in Port A

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The house was very clean and nicely decorated. There was plenty of room for our family of five. The kids loved playing at the pool. I especially loved that there was a washer and dryer to clean all of our beach stuff before traveling back home. I also learned that there are several houses surrounding the pool that you can rent as a large group. Will definitely recommend!

Loved our stay at the Cottage. Kids enjoyed the pool as well as all the sand, at the beach. Everything was a golf cart ride away. Neighbors were quiet! Best little house we’ve stayed at on the island. Definitely will be back!!!

Loved our stay at the cottage!

The place is great. We loved the tasteful decor, the well appointed space. It’s a great location right in town, we walked to go eat, and then a quick drive to the beach. We loved the front porch too. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to come back. Justin was responsive and easy to work with.

Cute, clean and great location!

This cute cottage was very clean. All the decor made it feel very "beachy". The front porch was perfect for sipping coffee or wine. Close to restaurants and bars without being noisy.

The house is in a prime location, nicely decorated, very clean. Justin was a gracious host .

Justin was available to answer any and all questions. Port A is an absolute jewel of the Texas coast. The house is situated within four blocks to any thing you would like to do. Beach is amazing and the harbor is a relaxing place to sit and watch the ships. Bernie's on a Wednesday night is a blast!!! Again, thank you Justin for your hospitality.

Great location and as advertised

Great location, and we were able to walk to most of the venues we wanted to check out. As other reviewers mentioned, the bathroom door doesn't stay shut/won't latch. We didn't notice any bar noise at night. The pool looks well maintained, although we didn't use it.
