This was our family’s first time to Port Aransas. The Flamingo House was a perfect location for us. Quick walk to the beach and a short drive into town. The owner was fantastic to communicate with and answered all my questions before we arrived. The home is a little older, but had everything we needed for our stay. It was a quick walk next door to Cinnamon Shores as well if you wanted to visit that area. We didn’t make it to the pool, but it was very convenient to be right outside the front door.

The Flamingo house was a delightful place to stay, we would definitely stay there again!The short version - it was very clean, well appointed with all the basic necessities, the communication with the owner Ed was quick and helpful, and everything in the listing was just as describe. Can't do much better than that!The slightly longer version - the Flamingo House is simply a gem. Very fun beach themed decor. The beds and couches were comfortable and roomy, the kitchen was spotless and had all the basics. We cooked there instead of eating out - worked great!The beach is short walk away down a sidewalk and beachwalk over the dunes. The house has a small cart that helped us take down our beach umbrella, towels and everything else for the beach.There's a small pool right outside the house which was a great place to relax when we wanted a break from the. beach. This was a great place for our small family vaction. We didn't have that many, but it could easily sleep six.Five out of Five, Two thumbs up. Gold Star... however you want to measure it, this place was great.

First time to Port A

This was our first time visiting Port A and we had a great time! The location was amazing! Easy access to the beach, pool was outside our front door, next door to cinnamon shores north where we walked each morning to a cute little coffee shop for breakfast. Host was very friendly and helpful.

It was a bit dated and older but the rooms were clean. The owner was kind and considerate, making contact all through the process from start to finish. I rarely give a “5” for a review because there are no perfect places. We would stay here again.

Hello Brandy. Sorry you have lost your articles while visiting Port Aransas. Housekeeping did not find either item. Hopefully you did not leave them by the pools or beach. I’m sorry you have not reached me but you have not contacted since before you arrived. You did not contact me after your checkin in or when you checked out and you’ve not contacted me about any lost items. Maybe your app is not working. I will report your concern to VRBO.

Family Getaway

This is such a sweet little spot. It's not too far from anything but not too close the touristy folks. It is decorated so cute. The rooms were larger than expected. Loved having our own walkway to the beach. The golf carts can be delivered and are reasonably priced. We enjoyed our stay. Owners are very nice and easy to communicate with.

Beautiful beach/flamingo themed condo, seconds from the pool and a little bit of a walk to the beach. The condo community was quiet during our stay. The amenities in the condo were great. The host was quick to respond to any questions we had. We would definitely stay there again.

Good location but hard to find. It’s behind Durado Dunes and next to Cinnamon Shores. It is not directly on the highway and not at the second Cinnamon Shores location. We had trouble with the WiFi. It worked better once reset but it couldn’t stream a movie so we had to use our phone to hot spot. The condo is well stocked with everything you need. Even beach stuff. The rooms are large and the beds comfortable. Great price for larger parties.

Thanksgiving

This was our first trip to The Island with family for Thanksgiving. This little villa was perfect for my family of 4. It was very clean & smelled really nice every time we came in the door, which is a plus in my book!! It had everything I needed to prepare several sides for Thanksgiving dinner. The owners were so nice & answered any questions I had in a timely manner, as well. We definitely enjoyed our stay & look forward to staying again in the near future!
