We loved how close we were to the beach. The views from the decks were so relaxing.

Would Stay Again
The house had the perfect, unobstructed view of the beach and was just steps away from the boardwalk for beach access. Great kitchen, living room, and awesome decks. Comfortable and clean - will stay there again!
Was a quiet get a way from the hustle and bustle of the holidays. We hope to return there soon.

Perfect Home For A Magical Getaway
This is a well-maintained, beautiful home in an amazing location. The owners thought of everything a family might need or want for a perfect stay and provided it. Five Star Recommendation!
The perfect view, great balcony, well stocked. Many superlatives, but there is always one thing; only two bath towels in the bathrooms. We will definitely stay here next time.

Second time staying here and will be back again!
We absolutely love this beach home! It’s as close as you can get to the beach and the views are amazing. It was clean and comfy. We will be back this fall. Thank you for allowing us to stay again! The Corley’s, from Georgetown, TX.

Great Location
This place is right on the beach. Loved sitting on either deck to watch and listen to the waves. The dune walkover is very close and easy to get access to the beach. The house is very simple and suited our needs perfectly. We brought our dog and he loved sitting on the deck too.

Awesome home and beach!
We loved our time in this home! It was comfy and right on a wonderful very clean beach. It's close to Port Aransas for dining and groceries. We enjoyed the pool. We loved that we could bring our fur baby. We used the garage for our car, which was a plus since I also brought my bike. I rode the coastal highway each day. We will return and bring family.
Views are spectacular! Didn’t see any bugs. The showers and some of the sink drains didn’t drain properly. Water pressure very low. Otherwise, would definitely stay again.
Location was perfect! Loved that it was dog friendly. Only a couple negatives. Dog relief area had a lot of sand burrs or stickers that made it difficult to take the dogs to go to the bathroom. House wise all was good except that all the trash cans had an extra bag except the kitchen, which was where we needed it most.The house was wonderful! We had our family Christmas celebration over a long weekend. Plenty of room for cooking a big meal and batches of cookies. We really enjoyed our stay!
Our stay was wonderful! The location of this property is perfect. A quiet spot, but not too far from “shopping”. The house was stocked with all you need and it was clean and neat. The mattresses slept very comfortable. It was our puppy’s first beach visit, he thought it was heaven! We’ll be back!
Note: The lock on the front door has issues opening, maybe the owners should replace that. Vacasa did help us swiftly when we phoned.
Awesome Beach front home with a heavenly ocean view
This is a dog friendly beachfront property- on beach marker 78-79. Perfect location. Has all the amenities needed - kitchen stocked- 2 coffee pots, a regular one and Keurig.The garage had 6-8 beach chairs ( nice to know you don’t have to drag yours) I would recommend a beach umbrella if you use one.The walk to the beach was like 2 minutes. The view of the ocean was spectacular - from upstairs and down. The main bedroom and bedroom on first floor had views of the ocean - could lay in bed and not only hear the ocean but see it! There was a food store approx 10-15 minutes into town, with many restaurant options . I DEFINITELY would recommend this rental!
Came for a quick getaway with our kids. Property met all our needs. Hands down the best thing was the view. EXACTLY what we hoped for! Coffee on the deck every morning steps from the ocean. Completely unobstructed views and so close you can hear the waves crashing. It was perfect! The boardwalk was just one house over, so close and easy to bounce back and forth to the house. One thing not mentioned in the description of the property was that the house has a garage that was full of chairs, beach toys, even a wagon. That was a nice surprise. Would definitely rent this exact home again!
The kitchen is well stocked and there were toys and chairs to take down to the beach. The beds and pillows are comfortable. The boardwalk was right there and the walk is very short. The showers have detachable heads making it easy to bathe younger children. Outdoor/indoor furniture is comfortable. The view just can’t be matched. There were a few issues. First, the windows were covered in an ocean air film when we arrived. We had to clean the windows ourselves. Luckily there was a hose there and a squeegee to do that with. They did not get dirty for the rest of the time we were there so the windows hadn’t been cleaned in a minute. There were roaches. That’s expected in south Texas in the summer. But I drew the line when I found baby ones in the master bed. With the exception of the master bath, the showers and bathrooms are very tiny. There was someone else’s hair in the master bath drain cover. I’m very concerned about the structural soundness of the master tub/shower. There is a definite low spot in it that pops sometimes when you step in just the right spot. When I pulled the sheets off, there were stains on the mattress cover that is zipped onto the mattress and on the pillows. The sliding door on the second floor is difficult to close and lock. Despite those issues, the view would bring us back again. They were so small in comparison. Besides, you’re just there temporarily so it’s not a deal breaker. We plan on returning. That view is everything.
House was clean but could use some deep spring clean. Of course the location right on beach was great.

Amazing views
We loved the views and being on the beach. It was a easy 2 minute walk to the beach. The living area has amazing views and the comfort of the house was great!
Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
The views are stunning! The beach is literally your back yard. The house layout is nice, there are shampoo, conditioner and soap provided, the kitchen is fully equipped. The only downfall is the house isn't clean on a deeper level. All the windows in and out needed cleaning and the decks and patio furniture needed to be cleaned. With those views it's easy to over look

Best Spot in Port A
This was probably my favorite vacation stay so far. The location is unbeatable. There really isn't anywhere else on the island like it. This is the closest you can get to being on the beach. It is 3 stories so if you can't climb stairs i wouldn't recommend. We took our 3 girls and my dad with us and everyone had a great time. The fishing was great right off the beach behind the place. I Caught a 21" speckled trout. We really couldn't be happier with our stay. We will definitely keep this one bookmarked for the future.
We have stayed at this location many times in lost colony and we love the location. The second floor doors to the bedroom do not close all the way a little bit of a problem with privacy. Also, second floor bathroom to bedroom doesn’t close all the way, so privacy issue there. This is the first time we saw many cockroaches. I was surprised by that other than that we love this place and will be back.
