Vous ne manquerez de rien avec cette cuisine ouverte! Il rassemble tout le monde avec le salon et le bar de la cuisine, c'est la configuration parfaite pour l'interaction!
The location is phenomenal and canât be beat. I would definitely take extra towels because, well⊠sand & humidity. The layout was a bit of a challenge for our group of 7 adults but we made it work and again, location was worth it. It wasnât crowded on the beach at all. Weâve been coming to Port A since 2011 and this is by far our favorite beach location. We only spent time in the house to sleep so the layout again, while not perfect, worked. Thank you for sharing your home with us!
You cannot beat the location! We have been coming to this beach for 30 years for our annual Girls trip and have stayed in several houses. This house by far has the best views and completely made our trip. The pictures make it look further than it actually is to the beach. My only âcomplaintâ is it did get warm in the house and I highly suggest bringing some fans. Other than that, it fit our group great. Just fyi you are by mile marker 86 for the beach by beach access 2, the beach is so much better too, not as many people and the water was not so dirty. Thank you again Carl for letting us stay!!
Great house with private beach access, very secluded. Surf fishing was good right infront of the house. The host communicates extremely well. Highly recommend!
The Location was the best we could have asked for! We had a blast and made some core memories with our family. Bed sheets were cleaned and beds were comfortable. The home had AC units in every room and the temp of the house was nice and cold and very comfortable. We truly had the best time and would def book again. Carol the host was very responsive. He is such a nice guy. Highly recommend
The property was dirty and poorly maintained. The owner admitted that someone had stayed in the house between the last cleaning and our arrival. Dishes were dirty. Clothes were present in drawers. The bathroom was largely unusable due to the maintenance and cleanliness. The draperies and furniture were stained. Some of the window a/c units were noisy and not functioning. The floors were dirty. The outside deck was littered with toys and trash. The master bedroom was barely passable. My daughter developed a rash after our stay. We could only stay for 12 hours until we just walked out. I requested a refund from the owner and I am still waiting. The owner did answer my calls promptly. The service and product were not as advertised. I will never book there again.
You canât beat the ocean access and view. House is older. You have to walk through one bedroom and bathroom to get to the 4th bedroom which is a little awkward when you are in their for an extended period. The 4th bdrm occupants are stuck in their room or canât get in their room until you are done. But againâŠ..canât beat the view! Just wish the windows would have openedâŠâŠ
The beach and location were great. The house was very dirty. One of the beds had no sheets. Found the missing bedding in the clothes dryer. The owner was very nice and easy to communicate with but the house was not very nice or well prepared. Would not recommend to others.
The proximity of the house to beach access was fantastic. Carl was easy to work with and access with questions. Can't wait to visit Port Aransas again.
The beach access is unbeatable. Carl was very quick to respond and very accommodating, he's a super nice guy! The house was not fancy but it's roomy and it's perfect for a family with kids that wants easy access on and off the beach. Everything was clean and the house was ice cold when we arrived.
Beach is 10/10. House is not maintained. (Being old is not the issue)
Read previous negative reviews -known issues are not being addressed. Inside temp remains 80+ degrees & very humid. 2 bedrooms(BR) smelled overwhelmingly of mothballs. 1 BR windows/view blocked by heavy rug. Blinds in bathroom are too small for window & anyone walking past on community boardwalk at night can see in. BRs have heavily stained carpet. Front BR w/ single bed has a heavy urine odor. The owner Carl warned us not to overload the fridge w/ warm items -we didnât & had to throw out perishable items because it didnât cool. Carl reimbursed us but the xtra shopping trip was inconvenient. No internet for 2 days. We didnât feel comfortable using the couches because of their condition. Cleanliness & supplies: had to purchase a sponge & xtra dish soap. We washed the dishes before use. Only 2 kitchen towels, no hand towels in bathrooms, 4 bath towels per bathroom, 1 roll of paper towels, 1 roll of toilet paper per bathroom, 1/2 full bottle hand soap per sink. Found a broom in the closet & was able to sweep up the dog hair & sand that had accumulated but there was nothing else for keeping things clean. The listing description isnât accurate. Carl says that they still live/stay at the house but they also own the new condos in front of the house, per the West Palm Beach Estates website. Honestly, I canât imagine his family staying there with the house in such condition. Overall, we didnât feel comfortable in the house but stayed because of no other options.
This simple fact that this property was right on the beach made it all 100% worth every penny. The house itself could use a little upgrading, but we didnât mind. It was perfect for our family vacation!
Older home with direct beach access.
The beach access was the best part of the stay.
It was so nice to walk on the beach every morning without anyone else around.
There is no actual central A/C. All units are window units and did not keep up well with the heat. If not using this home in the middle of the summer, it wouldnât be an issue.
For one of the bedrooms, you have to pass through the master and then through the bathroom. Itâs a very awkward arrangement to say the least.
The furniture was broken (couches, bar chairs, and dining room chairs from the previous guests. Carl let us know about these issues right away.
Kitchen has very few pots/pans/baking sheets. There are plenty of coffee mugs and silverware though.
We had to clean the kitchen and bathrooms before using them. Lots of silverware was put back in the drawers dirty. Refrigerator had a strong fish odor and food debris.
Carl did respond quickly to the issues we had with the water leak and broken air conditioning.
We were able to host my parentâs 50th anniversary celebration because he allows events to be hosted. Most hosts declined to allow even simple events so we were very appreciative of this.
Overall, we made some great memories.
The odor of moth balls about knocks you over when you enter the door. The property owner, Carl, is trying to cover up mold smell. Recliners are broken, window coverings that cannot be removed, dark & dingy. Itâs 77 degrees in the house and was 82 in one of the back bedrooms. A recent review (which I question if any of the reviews that are positive are realâŠjust sayinâ) says it wasnât bad at 77 degreesâŠlistenâŠitâs HOT in this house! We waited 45 minutes seeing if it would cool down and it never did. I told my friend there was mold in the house, she started looking and it didnât take longâŠfound some in a closet â all on the back of the door molding. I have pictures but donât see where to load them. I called Carl, told him we couldnât stay in a house with mold. He came and looked, rubbed the mold with his fingers and said, âYes, thatâs mold.â He also asked us if we found it anywhere else, like what other spots did they missâŠgeez. Carl shook my hand, told me he understood that we couldnât stay there and he would refund my $4,500 that we had paid VRBO for the week. We left. I have had 6-8 phone calls with VRBO, about 3 phone calls with Carl (who of course now tells VRBO there was no mold) and have not received my refund. Carl refused to give me his email. Yes, I should have gotten something in writing from Carl. Weâre from Texas where your word and a handshake still mean something. Lesson learned, may get a lawyer. Just please trust meâŠDO NOT RENT THIS HOUSE!
This was our second time to stay at this home and we loved it even more this time! There is plenty of room for our large family (7 adults and 2 kids) to spread out and the view canât be beat!! The beach access allowed us to come and go all day without getting burned and we didnât have to eat sandy food. Carl was super helpful and friendly! We would love to make this house our rental every year!
The house and location are perfect for our party of 8 staying 5 days. The beach was beautiful and the house was clean. The layout is a bit different as there is a bedroom that the guest(s) get to by going through the master. They do share the bathroom, but that bathroom is big with separate doors so this did not bother anyone. That bedroom is perfect for singles/couple/kids to use and conveniently like a 'family suite'.
We had an age range from 37-77 and two adults stayed in the room with bunk bed and a twin bed with no problems. The layout of the bunk room is not like the ad. It is rearranged differently and the room is much bigger with distance between the beds.
The house is comfortable and all the appliances worked as expected. Being July, the house stayed cool for us (even cold sometimes!) and all the portables AC's in every room, living window units (2) and multiple fans in each bedroom worked as expected with no issues. The back deck had toys and floaties for others to enjoy. The outdoor shower was amazing to use after getting off the beach.
The beach was cozy and the water was further out where you had to walk to in low tide (to be expected) and the waves were a blast to be in. There is hardly any traffic and the only other people there might be the renters next door which had their beach area to occupy. This is really as advertised "secluded".
Saturday got pretty busy on the beach, but that is usually expected being a weekend.
We are planning to book aga
You couldnt ask for a better location if youre wanting beach time! Carl was very helpful and full of information about the area. Thanks for a great vacation!
Secluded beach front home. Loved our stay. House is a little dated, but if you are there for the beach and family time, this is it. Had so much fun and loved the semi-private beach space. I hope to come back next year.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! A quick walk across the boardwalk & youâre on the beach.
Itâs pretty quiet on this part of the beach with not large crowds - which was awesome. We enjoyed having a more âprivateâ beach.
The house was very roomy and plenty of beds for our group. The house could get a little warm during the day but keep the a/cs & fans going and itâs not bad.
Nice large deck where we did our shrimp boil & enjoyed sitting outside. Beautiful views of the ocean. Large kitchen with just about anything you could need. It was perfect!
