We love staying at this property and have rented it several times now. The sink in the bathroom is not draining properly and needs to be unclogged. I also recommend extermination service due to several large cockroaches inside the property and an infestation of fire ants outside.
My husband and I love this little house in the heart of Port Aransas! It's well-maintained, cute, offers all the privacy of a private home with a gated and fenced yard, and is perfectly located. Many things are within walking distance. This was our second stay at this house, and we love it so much that I can't imagine staying anywhere else now! I can't reccommend it highly enough!
Comfy bed so didn't mind that TV in the living room didn't get Netflix and had to binge watch from bed:) Backyard is very cute. Only down sides was TV in the living room and BBQ needs a new rack in it. Within walking distance to shops, restaurants and grocery store. Would definitely stay there again.
We walked in and we're shocked at how small the place was. The pictures are very deceiving online. When we walked in we immediately noticed a dead cockroach in the living area and then another one in the bedroom next to the bed. I went to the bathroom immediately when we got there and there was dried urine on the seat. So we knew it had not been cleaned in a while. The dishes had dried food all over them when we went to use them. At that point we just hoped the bed sheets were clean. We actually ended up leaving and not staying our 3rd night bc we were so uncomfortable. I would not recommend this place.
Everything was as described. Everything was clean. It was comfortable. There were a few issues tho.
When we walked into the property, a very large cockroach was staring at us from the kitchen counter. There were also a few (3) very small roaches in the bathroom. Finally, the last few minutes at the property, I was picking up trash in the private yard and stepped onto a small piece of plywood lying on the ground in the corner of the property. Suddenly, it gave way and I sunk up to my knee in stinky black water and mud. It was seriously foul! It got on my shorts, all over my leg and soaked both shoes and socks. I was able to take my shoes and socks off and rise off with the hose. Afterwards, on the 3hr ride home, my wife said that I definitely still smelled like sewer water, even tho Iâd rinsed off and left my shoes and socks in the back of the truck. The place seemed pretty nice until that last 3 minutes there. Just needs some extra pest control and a steel plate over that damn hole!
Tiny home, or Casita, whatever you want to call it. The king bed was very comfortable, my 6yr old had no trouble with the couch bed, and my 1yr old was great in her pack n play which I put next to the king. The place was well furnished, comfortable and quaint. The kitchen was severely lacking in good quality cooking utensils, pans and pots. There wasn't even any salt in the cupboard. So beware. The outside was fantastic! We loved the outdoor shower, and used it every time we came back from the beach (the cold handle didn't work, so we ended up using the hose, same difference).
Cleanliness was okay. It smelled immaculate when we first walked in, but we later found that there were some clumps of dog hair in the house and especially on the front patio. But it is listed as pet friendly so I wasn't too grossed out. We aren't allergic or it would have been a problem.
Thanks for a lovely stay!
I really enjoyed my stay and wish I was able to stay longer. Itâs a great little place and had everything I needed. The only thing I couldnât figure out while I was there was the 2 remote control situation. I got you tube to play the first night I was there so was able to watch movies but the next two nights the movies would never load. It wasnât a big deal since I really didnât sit around and watch tv all day haha. I will definitely be back!
We enjoyed the cottage , it was very clean and it had everything we needed. We loved how close it was to the beach. We especially were impressed with the outside shower which we used everyday after the beach. We will definitely rent it again.
great location, lots of resturants and shopping within walking distance. clean property, private gated yard area. bed was comfortable, pleanty of towels provided. extra blankets and sheets. Great Place!!!
Privacy fence surrounded the entire property. Great place to stay for two people (and small dogs of course). Minutes from the beach, supermarket. Right off the main strip. Very cozy accommodations. Fire pit, outside shower (indoor shower too) to rinse the sand off. The BBQ pit was a bit rusty so we didn't use it, but that would be the only issue I can think of. WiFi was strong and consistent. Would definitely book this location again!
We LOVED this property! It was perfect for our little family (2 adults, 2 kids & 2 small dogs). The privacy yard was so cute & comfortable & felt like our own oasis. The space was clean & had everything we needed. My ONLY note to future renters is not to leave any food on the counter unless it is in an ant-proof container. We had leftover pizza & could not fit the box in the fridge so we opted to leave it on the counter & woke up to ants. Obviously this is nothing that would sway us from staying here again, just a heads-up ;)
RENTERS BEWARE, IT'S A DUMPSTER FIRE. They can not guarantee you'll have a working toilet at any point when it rains. The property is old and the toilet quit working. All they could tell me was they could do anything about it and we just had to wait and hope it would start working. We had to make 5 trips in the rain to a gas station down the street. We fled the property in less than 24 hours since it was forecasted to keep raining. They did refund 2 night base price but with the fees and insurance we paid around $500 for 22 hours there.
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at this little house! It was the perfect size for just the two of us, and the fenced backyard was great for our dog and outdoor grilling. The outdoor picnic table's umbrella provided some much-needed shade in the sun, and the shower out there was really handy after spending a day at the beach.
Both the yard and interior were well cared for with nice landscaping outside and a modern, clean, and open interior. The little kitchen was the perfect size for meals for two. Couldn't have asked for a better location! Right in the heart of Port A with close proximity to restaurants, bars, and the beach. Despite being by the main road, the house itself was somewhat tucked away and quiet.
This was the perfect spot for our getaway and I hope to visit again soon! Thanks for such a nice experience!
We stayed with our 2 sons 12 and 9 and our two dogs. The cottage was lovely, well stocked, very clean and beautiful. The outside area is equipped with fire pit, chairs and picnic table. We appreciated the privacy fence , and enjoyed our time outside. The cottage was in walking distance of some good restaurants. We drove to rhe beach,, but you could walk.
Truly enjoyed the location, having. Fenced in courtyard for our little furry friend was awesome. We enjoyed the grill, fire pit and outdoor shower was great as well. Highly recommend.
