Two cockroaches in the kitchen area. I had asked prior to arrival to ensure a clean house. I guess they let the beach front sell itself but don’t take ownership in the quality of the home.

Can’t beat the location of this property and the deck feels like you’re right on the beach. The neighborhood is also great. Only complaint is the dishes and pans were dirty when we showed up. Our dogs also got fleas on the property but hard to say where. Overall great stay in Port A!

Location

We stayed in same house 12-14 years ago. Location is excellent and very hard to beat right on the beach. The deck offers 180 degree beach views. Lots of light in kitchen / dining area. Kitchen is well appointed. My singular ding has to do with the 5 dead roaches we found (3 within first 15 minutes) on the floor, and the deck which had not been cleaned up after prior tenant.

Wonderful!!

Any time I called the facility before arrival, always helpful and courtesious! Only 1 issue was TV didn't work. Was not a high priority due to being succumbed by the beach. Did not even bother the teenager that was with us. One tiny bug spotted in the house- but keep in mind, you are literally water front. Can tell that they do try to keep these houses routinely sprayed. View from the balconies and window was spectacular!! We were in aw! Was nice to sit outside relaxing and enjoying the beach. Only issue was parking. I refuse to deduct review for something that was not in their control. Will definitely recommend anyone to stay at Titas Sandcastle. Just phenomenal! We all definitely enjoyed ourselves and had much needed relaxation. Would love to come back here in the future!

Great Beach Front Property

First, the house location was fabulous. Great deck with view of the beach. Very, very short wall to the beach. The deck is fenced in so this was great for the dogs. Because of it's location, the beach was very private. The first floor layout was nice for entertaining before dinner. The upstairs bedroom was very private although I wouldn't recommend the stairs for the elderly. I was disappointed in the room at basement level (ground level). It was very musty but being so close to the water, I am not sure how they would solve this issue. A little more effort could have been made to make this a destination worth the price. At this price, I would have expected kitchen supplies like salt and pepper, plenty of paper towels and trash bags, toilet paper, etc. (It isn't advertised to have these items but I think for the price, they should have made a better effort to supply the basic necessities so we didn't have to go to the store) Overall, I would recommend this house if you want to be close to the beach and have a great view close to teh water.

Great Views

The location and views are amazing. The house and furnishings are starting to show their age. Floor in upstairs bedroom has major soft spots in a couple of places, one window there was no covering so the you knew when it was day light, tiles cracking downstairs, couch was old and uncomfortable. But if you can overlook those kind of things you’ll love everything else

September Vacation

The views were wonderful, you cannot use the awning, so it is hard to sit out on the porch until late evening. The beds were comfy, only 2 TV’s. The 4th bedroom was outside, under the main porch, but we couldn’t use due to no electricity for electrical outlets or the air conditioner. The house needs overhaul.

Perfect vacation.

Enjoyed kitchen table that easily seated 10 people with beach view. Bedrooms were nice size. 2 small bathrooms and a really large master bathroom in main house. Large deck with plenty of seating over looking beach . Garage was a mess. Firmly believe the mess was from previous renters not taking their broken down canopy’s. .3-4 left behind and lots of sandy kids buckets in garage and on upper deck

Anniversary Trip

My husband and I booked this property to celebrate our 15 year anniversary. We traveled from Michigan with our 2 kids and invited my parents along. We all slept comfortably, throughly enjoyed the house, and had the greatest time. The house is in a prime location with great views and easy access to the beach. We would definitely make another trip!

Location, location, location!

We were a little anxious about the inside (bedrooms), since most of the photos were of the views and beach (which is why you are there). But, no issues or concern at all with the interior. The house was great for multiple families. The "4th" bedroom and bathroom (more like a studio suite) is not accessible from within the house and has its own separate entrance on the ground-level. We enjoy Lost Colony and less traffic on the beach in this area of Mustang Island.

Very dirty and appliances not functional

We requested early check in . The house was not rented couple of days before our arrival . It took ten calls before supposedly the manager went and checked the house and ok the cleanliness. The dishwasher had so much junk in it that we didn’t use it at all .one of the burners was not working . The whole cook top is ancient and needs to be replaced . We had to buy swifter to clean the floor as the one they had was filthy. The stairs to the master was horrible to go up and down . The grill was big enough for 2 hamburgers . The only thing this house had for it was location and as windy as it was it came in handy. Not a comfortable house for a family at all . I will not rent it again.

Great Spot!

We just love this location just steps from the beach, but back far enough for views all directions. Then the house is nice and plenty roomy for us eight beachlovers. I would have given it a 5 star rating but we did have a few things that could have been better. For instance, the master bath and shower was missing some knobs, so to turn it on we had to interchange them, not quite right. Strangely, the middle floor bathroom shower curtain was too short and the water from the shower would spray out to the floor, not exactly a safe situation. Also, the deck had only a small table and 2 deck chairs, not enough for our crew, we could have used a lot more for enjoyment of watching those waves come and go! The beach area was not crowded, no seaweed this year and loads of fun for us. Can't wait to return!

Amazing View and Beach Access

Really can’t beat the unobstructed view of the beach. The deck catches a very nice and relaxing breeze throughout the day. Only knock on this place is that it’s a couple updates away from being a 5-star property. Specifically the upstairs jacuzzi bath is straight from the 70s/80s and in need of repair. Downstairs add on definitely shows as an after thought. Otherwise a very nice property.
