Do not rent this property!

We checked in 15 min early, that being said 15 hours later would not have been enough time to correct problems. House very dirty, burners on stove not working. Dishwasher leaking. Shower in master broke. Only one towel provided in master. Hardly any dishes not near enough to cook a proper meal, even if the stove worked. Had lots of peel and stick notes on everything. Lots of cleaning expected to be done yet nothing provided to do so. No kitchen towels to even wipe counter available.Large yellow stain resembling /smelling of cat piss in second bedroom. Only 2 wash pods provided but even if I wanted to wash it the stupid notes leaved all over the place asked not to Wash comforters. Sand in every bed, except one bunk bed! Home HOT. Another note asked not to turn thermostat below 70 total understand that yet house never cooled below 75. We had to go to the store and purchase basic cleaning supplies just to stay.

Best communication, lovely property, perfect for runners!

We spent our family Christmas/New Year during the great freeze of 2022 🤣 Despite the challenges that the weather provided, Kathy made sure that we were 110% taken care of. We absolutely loved having the beach within walking distance and the private pool for relaxing and splashing. Special note for runners *there is many miles of beach front that is runable, I ran every morning (felt completely safe running as a lone female) and enjoyed watching the sun come up. We had a really hard time leaving definitely plan on coming back!!!

Property is close to the beach and a nice walk. The pool was perfect for relaxing. King size bed was comfortable. Washer and dryer was nice to have so I didn’t come home with laundry to do.

Love it!!

This is a great property! At the end of a no outlet street. Open floor plan. Pool, cart, location! This place has it all. It was perfect for our family. We are from the country so the neighbors seemed overly loud to us but I think it’s just normal neighborhood noise. We will definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Kathy Boles

We, Russ & Kathy, are native Texans who grew up on Port Aransas beaches. This is truly our happy place. We absolutely love everything about Port A (searching for sea shells, building sandcastles, cruising the town on warm summer nights with an ice cream in hand) and are excited to share it with you and your family. Our goal is to provide families a comfortable space to return to year after year making memories to last a lifetime.

Why they chose this property

Port Aransas is a staple when you grow up in central Texas. We spent time on these beaches as young kids through college. We can also see the place we spent the first weekend of our honeymoon from our beach home’s porch. It's a special place filled with a lifetime of memories.

What makes this property unique

We are a short two-block walk to the beach, easy to make it down to watch sunrises or spend a few hours then return to the house for snacks. No need to lug every possible thing there and back. We are on a private street keeping traffic to a minimum. A private pool is a luxury for a beach vacation and once you experience it, you'll never be without one! Our pool is heated and we give our guests control over the heater. Turn it on at the beginning of each day and have it ready within an hour for year-round water fun.
