We were so excited for our annual Port Aransas family gathering, but that excitement turned into disappointment with this home. We've stayed in dozens of properties around Port A, but this has been our least favorite thus far.
The Good:
- The location is super convenient for accessing the beach, restaurants, and shops.
- There was plenty of parking available for our family.
- The open living and functional areas on all three levels were large and easily accommodated our group.
The Bad:
- The unit's floors were not cleaned before we arrived, and there was trash all over outside from the previous tenants. The property manager did have the floors redone
- The bathroom shower curtains in three of the bathrooms were covered in mold on the bottoms. They did replace a few during our stay, but the worst ones were left.
- The A/C - There is a reason this property has a fan in every room. The A/C units struggled during the day to keep the unit at 77/78, but would finally cool down by 3-4 a.m., which made going to sleep impossible without using the provided fans. The first level was great because it had its own unit as well.
- The pool for the first two days was dirty and unbalanced. Our young kids didn't even want to swim in it because they found a hair wad. After it was cleaned, it was fine.
Also, one thing to be aware of that wasn't clear in the listing. The bedrooms and bathrooms are very small, and there are no closets, so that was a challenge throughout the trip.
