2 master suites were awesome for 2 couples.

Very nice place. We especially appreciated the golf cart, for riding around town and on the beach, and the pool for the hot and humid days. Bonus of two washers and dryers so each couple could use simultaneously. It was our first visit to Port A, and we loved it.

Best place in Port A!

Crustacean Station was by far the best place we have ever stayed at in Port Aransas! The house had everything we needed and more! Everything was perfect - the house, pool, golf cart, location, everything! We had everything we needed during our stay and the extra touches by the hosts were perfect, not to mention the beautiful decor in the home! We can’t wait to stay here again! Thank you to the hosts for allowing us to stay and making amazing memories with our family!

Perfect Port Aransas Beach House

This house is exactly what you want in a Port Aransas beach house -- spacious, super clean and nicely decorated with a private pool and golf cart included. It is exactly as shown in the pictures. The layout and quality of the house was perfect for a family trip and allowed folks to nap when they needed without the whole house having to go into quiet mode. Also, the hosts helped us get prepared before our trip with a lot of useful information and stayed in contact with us as we needed them during our trip without being intrusive.

Nice House Infested with Cockroaches

This is the 5th time VRBO has requested I re-write my review. I don't think they want a truthful review. This house is very nice, but infested with cockroaches. There were many other issues, but if I list them, they will make me re-write the review. I would not stay here again. I will not book with VRBO again.

Great location and the house was the perfect size for our family. Plenty of room. The owner was very responsive to any questions/issues we had. Coming back to cool off in the pool after a long day at the beach was a plus.

About the host

Hosted by Thomas Mangold & Azita Bayat

Host profile image
We have owned properties in Port Aransas since 2004 and enjoy sharing our homes with our repeat customers and new guest as well.

We love sharing our cool houses with people and sharing the fun vibrant area of Port A!

Why they chose this property

The best part about Port A is the location to everything! The grocery store, 25 restaurants, 12 bars, the beach, the dock, the ferry, the shopping, EVERYTHING is a couple minute golf cart ride away. We wanted to stay in the city and as close to everything as possible to provide our guest with that same experience. It is so cool to drive to the beach for an hour, come take a quick outdoor shower and jump in the pool while you grill lunch. Have everything at quick access so when one person gets tired they have a place to retreat and not be a party pooper. Lots of games and books to keep you busy if the weather is crummy. The kitchen is outfitted with everything you could possibly need to make meal after meal to save some money while at the beach.

What makes this property unique

The 6 Passenger Golf Cart is a must in Port A! They are all registered with the city and are powered by super unleaded gasoline. The golf cart has seat belts and a beach pass and is available with our home rental for $95 per night.

The heated pool- Welcome to Texas where the weather is 96 on one day and 46 the next! You never know what you are going to get unless it is summer than you can ALWAYS expect HOT, HOT, HOT! The same is for the island... don't ruin your vacation by not having a heated pool! See rates section for fees for heating the pool.
