Port A Perfection

Our family loved staying at ReelTime. It’s the perfect beach house. With an open concept on the inside and in the backyard, it’s great for entertaining the family while we’re not at the beach. Plenty of room for everyone. We would definitely come back!

Reel time

The House, location, and yards were great. Not all the trash cans were cleaning out from the previous guests as well as dishes left needing to be rewashed just over all could have been cleaned better. Great time all in all.

Little piece of heaven.

The property was amazing.The pool was great, perfect for our grandson.Just enough space for everyone to be comfortable. Absolutely love the little extra things like the games in the cabinet, the out of office swag and the floaties for the pool. Only downside was the ceiling fan and lights werent working in the bunkbed room.

Home away from home

We thoroughly enjoyed the cleanliness of the house, the private pool and quiet neighborhood. After a long day fishing, playing at the beach, or shopping, it was so nice to come home to a quiet house with all the amenities. We will definitely be back!

Birthday weekend

We have stayed in many houses all over Port Aransas and this one has been, hands down, our favorite. The house itself, was charming, clean, well appointed, and comfortable. It’s close to the beach but also quiet and private. Great backyard and great pool. Can’t wait to come back!

Great Spot

We had to leave a day early due to the hurricane. There was a leak in the ceiling (in the downstairs bedroom) due to the constant rain. Overall a great place to stay and great location. 5 minute walk to the beach.

Beautiful wonderful house

Great property. Every detail was taken care of! Beware of the property to the right. The lady from the office at Island Retreat condos will run out of the office and yell at you if you try to step onto that property. (In her defense there is a sign warning you to not enter the property - I missed seeing it while going on a stroll :( And of course, there is no beach access through that property. The closest beach access is a few blocks down. We rented a golf cart so this was not an issue. The back yard was a wonderful paradise. Washer and dryer are conveniently located in the garage along with pool toys. The beds are comfortable. The layout was perfect for my husband and two teen sons. We would definitely stay at this property again!

18th birthday for our daughter and friends

We booked a quick trip for our daughters 18th birthday before heading to college. House met all our needs. We cooked, hung out and had a ton of fun. Property is very cute and great backyard for hanging out. Pool has color changing lights which is cool for nighttime. Location was great and used island outfitters for golf cart with the property discount provided. They leave the cart for you and pick up, which made it super convenient !!! Our only negative comments to property managers were sent to them about a few TLC issues that someone should do before peak seasons. All in all we enjoyed this place a lot!!
