My family and I had a wonderful visit in this amazing house! There was plenty of room for all 11 of us. The view from the back balcony is incredible! We spent a lot of time out there. The walk on the boardwalk was super easy and we were able to sit on the beach right across from the boardwalk. It’s a little far from Port Aransas main center, but not too far. And it’s nice to be on the quieter side of the beach anyway. I did ask them to provide an instruction manual for how to use the elevator because the stair/elevator situation was a little confusing for us. But having the elevator was super cool, so hopefully if they get those instructions printed for future guests, it will go very smoothly. If you have a big group, don’t hesitate to rent this property! It was great!

Great getaway
We were looking for a place to gather the family and enjoy a weekend at the beach. This place was perfect. We have a granddaughter who has special needs and is wheelchair bound. This house worked perfectly for her. The walkover to the beach was wheelchair accessible so she got to enjoy the beach as much as we did. Thank you and we look forward to visiting again
