8/10 stars. Beds in second bedroom could have been better, but the single was comfy. Good for kids and has everything you need for a longer stay.

First trip to Port Aransas
We had a great stay! This place was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Our only issue was at check-in. I received two texts two days apart to receive the door code. It took me a little while to realize those numbers were different and which one to use. But we had no other issues. The proximity to the beach is great and the kids enjoyed the pool! We would recommend staying here!

Pros and cons
Pros: -comfortable and well furnished -easy access to boardwalk -good communication - view of pool/close to pool Cons-toilet was stopped up when I arrived which was fixed as soon as I reported it but it couldn’t have been cleaned prior to my arrival if it was stopped up. Gnats and slight odor coming from the garbage disposal.

Beach House Fun
This place was perfect. I brought my daughter to the beach as her graduation from HS gift. She had two friends come along. The house was the perfect size with all the right accommodations. It was very clean and it had easy access to the beach. I’d love to stay again.

Great beach rental
Overall we had a great experience at this rental. It’s close to the beach and had everything we needed. It would have been a 5-star rating if not for a few small things. The water pressure was very low. I think a few high pressure water heads would be a great fix. It would also help to have the detachable hose especially in the kids bathroom. The fridge and freezer smelled like fish. Some boxes of Arm N Hammer would help a ton.

Great Stay
Property was clean. Had a small problem with the door that exits to the pool. The door handle was coming off. Used a small screwdriver that is on my penknife to put it back together. Still needs to be put together right.
