Great two floor area. I came with three kids and they had their privacy upstairs and I could have mine downstairs. The outside is directly next to a pool.
The owner made sure that everything was taken care of and that we were happy with the accommodations.
Would recommend, and would stay there again.
Everything was really easy to find, the house was very clean and safe. It was close to the beach and with a nice pool and the hospitality received by Erinn was excellent, highly recommended.
Overall our stay was great! We only stayed one night, bc it was a last minute decision. The property was in a great location with access to two pools. Communication with the owner was very prompt and fantastic. It was a comfortable stay for 8 people. Thank you for your hospitality.

Perfect beach getaway
This is our second time staying in this condo. It's comfortable for the four adults and two kids in our group. Having the pool right outside is so nice.
it was my pleasure! I hope you'll come again this summer!

The property was very clean, homey and spacious!
From check-in to the accommodations and cleanliness, the property was amazing. Everything was texted or emailed for check-in. Any questions asked were answered very promptly. Very close to the beach in any other restaurants or stores. You would like to go to. Would recommend this property to anybody!
Had a wonderful stay.Very clean.All of the furnishings were well maintained and seemed new.It was nice to have two floors which allowed the kids to have their privacy on the top floor where I had my privacy on the lower floor. The door opens out directly to the pool.The owner stayed in contact with use and was extremely helpful.Would definitely rent again.

Thank you for the review, it was a pleasure hosting your family.
Our accommodations were perfect! We loved staying at The Love Shack at Pirates Bay. Quick access to the beach and loved that the pool was right outside our front door. Surprisingly enough even when the pool was busy we could not hear the outside noise in the house. The house was perfect! Kitchen well stocked and the kids loved the bunk bed set up in the loft. It was private right at the top of the steps. They had a gate at the top of the steps that was well thought out for the littles. We put a fan in the loft area at night to drown out any noise in the living room below from the adults, the kids slept so well and even slept in, in the morning. The bedrooms were spacious and the beds were very comfortable. Erinn was our host and she was ready and available with any questions we had. I would highly recommend this rental and we can’t wait to return next year.
Property had 2 very nice pools to relax in.
Close to everything in Port Aransas.
Only bad think was not good for golf carts as you are not supposed to cross the highway so you really cant take one
My family and I spent a weekend in Port A and absolutely loved this condo. It was right across from one of the pool areas, clean, and very convenient. This condo is highly recommended.
We had a great time. House had everything we needed & more. Close to restaurants & shopping. Port Aransas is nice cozy town. Little grocery store had all we needed. Pool was great. Not crowded at all. Everyone was friendly. Highly recommend.
The kids enjoyed the property. They really enjoyed their loft sleeping area. The location was close enough to the beach but far away enough from the traffic. Short distance to our favorite places to eat. We are already planning our next trip back. Easy to just walk out the front door and into the pool! Very cozy.
nice and clean and away from the noise and craziness (lol) of the festival. I like that the pool is right in front, a few steps. I also like thr is 2 assigned prkg spaces, and all amenities are as described. Definitely returning.
Only issue with the property was that the bed frame in the master was broken. Called owner and they sent someone out to fix it within a few hours. Everything else was good. Location is hidden from the crowds, but still close to beach access road and restaurants.
The house was clean and in a nice quiet area. The front door opens right up to the pool which was great for my 2 little kids. Will definitely be visiting again!!
Family and I had a blast. We had the pool to ourselves. Amazing

About the host
Hosted by Erinn Adamek
Hello all! I'm your host Erinn! I gave up my sales and marketing career when we started our family in 2005. My husband and I have always loved Port Aransas, so in 2011, we purchased a townhome that we could share with others as a vacation rental. Then, as most owners do, we hired a local property manager.
As our daughters grew, I missed the social interaction from my career. We decided I should jump in and try self-managing. I enjoyed it so much, that since that time, we've added 3 homes to our portfolio. We warmly welcome you and take pride in being a small part of your family memories.
Why they chose this property
In town, handicapped accessible (no steps to front door), no carpet (great for those with allergies) fully stocked kitchen with good quality cookware and utensils. High speed, reliable internet and premium cable. 4 large wall mounted TVs. We've really tried to make this home comfortable for any type of guest. We use 100% cotton sheets and towels.
