My friends and I had a fun time at this beach house! Overall a great location and nice house. The property could have been cleaner. Took off 1 star for check in because there was a slight delay as well as the 5th bedroom is tricky to find with no clear instructions.

Excellent family vacation

Amazing views, house, and all around location. I was able to bring my fur babies, which is critical for me . I would recommend an indication that it’s located at back the park of the luxury RV Park…I was confused and thought I was lost upon arrival. Once, I found it, I was in awe. A lot of people walking by asked me about the property as they were interesting in staying there in the future. Will most definitely book this property again.

Annual vacation

The property was in a great location. Large enough for 3 generations to spread out. Really enjoyed our stay. Only negative thing was the bottom bedroom did not have a shower as it is only a half bath. All agreed in our party that they would stay there again.

Great place for large families

The property location absolutely cannot be beat! The views and proximity to the beach are what made us rent this house a 2nd year. Minor maintenance issues exist but no different from any high turnover property- and they address issues same day. Beautiful place for us and our adult children to vacation.

Fantastic stay

We really enjoyed our stay in Port A. The house was large enough for our group of 12 to all have some space. The third story balcony had the best view of the ocean! The property management was very quick to respond with any questions we had, and the maintenance man even came on site and built ramps for my brother to get over the small door lips in his wheelchair so he could make it onto the balcony. If you are in need of an accessible home, just know that there are several 3-4” lips to doorways in and around the home, and there is not a shower that is wheelchair accessible. But for the average vacationer, this home was a real hit.

Excellent location and located in a very clean and well kept RV park. The house is as described. Bathrooms are nice, bedrooms overall spacious. We didn’t really use any TVs, but they seemed new. Kitchen was well equipped, the living room comfy. Cleanliness could’ve been better. The dishwasher was old and barely functional. Nothing was dirty, just not “clean”

Royalty Vacation

This was our first trip to Corpus Christi and the home was wonderful! It was perfect for our family. The views were to die for and it was a short walk to the ocean. The home was clean but could use a few small fixes (stairway handrail-third floor patio door-TV's didn't work due to parts being stolen). Tracy was amazing and quick to reply when we couldn't figure out the TV situation (it was raining!) We HIGHLY recommend this home. We made memories that will last a lifetime!!

Good Stay but house needs TLC

Great location, beautiful views. House was clean but has maintenance issues (pealing paint AC vents, ceiling fan not working, loose hand rails etc). Biggest disappointment was the outdoor furniture which is very uncomfortable and in disrepair. The view off the balcony is great, but poor furniture made it difficult to enjoy. We had a couple of issue during our stay, but the property managers we very responsive in resolving.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our second time to stay in this gorgeous home. My husband and I renewed our wedding vows on the beach in front of the home. Perfect day! We decorated the home and were able to accommodate 40 guests for dinner. The patio is huge! The house is big. Our father was in a wheelchair and the elevator made it possible for him to join us. The views are beautiful. Make sure to order a beach buggie before your arrival. We had a very difficult time finding one and ended up with a 4 seater.
