Nice stay for a weekend

This was a nice stay for a quick, weekend trip. Easy to check in and out. Property was mostly quiet and right on the beach. Easy beach access was the best part about this property.

Port Aransas Memorial Day Weekend

Excellent stay, quiet stay, despite being busy weekend at the beach. We would stay again. This was our first Vrbo stay. I don't know we'd stay at a hotel again. Contactless in and out. Very seamless.

Gateway to the Beach

The overall property was in decent shape. Somewhat aged. Our particular condo had a perfect view of the boardwalk and beach. The community washers were helpful but in poor shape. The pool and tennis courts were nice and well kept. This property would be perfect for families with small children because of the short walk to the beach. This is not a "luxury" property, but I would probably stay again.
