Family Fun in a Gated Community: Cornhole, Washers, and a Pool Just Steps Away

Unmissable Amenities: Heated Pool Next Door, Scenic Promenade, and Sunset Fire Ring for Your Perfect Port A Getaway"

Sweet & Salty-VW25

**Minimum age of 25 is mandatory for property rental**

This house name is perfect --- wait till you experience the Sweet & Salty down in Port A -- You walk into the main level and notice how coastal and upscale all of the furnishings are..... and you feel immediately like you have arrived in paradise.

When you head upstairs you will find the master bedroom, it invokes a sort of Seaside Sanctuary -- truly masterful. The comfy king-sized bed and sitting area provide space, privacy and relaxation. Families with children too young to sleep across the breezeway will appreciate the two chairs that convert to youth beds. The ensuite includes two full-sized closets, one of which has a portable crib and can be used as a nursery. The master bath has a separate soaking tub and shower to let you wind down each day. USB outlets, ceiling fan, television, hair dryer, views of both the swimming pool and neighborhood promenade complete the master suite.

Secluded from the main house by an upstairs breezeway, there are two more bedrooms. The first room finds yourself immersed in this king-sized bedroom features a private bath and closet with a view of the pool. If you continue through the hallway you will find yet another room! A family of four comfortably fits in this well-appointed guest room. The room features one queen-sized bed as well as a twin bunk bed each with reading lights and under-bed storage drawers. Private bathroom with tub/shower. You can see up and down the streets of the neighborhood from the small balcony off of this room.

One item you can't miss through the wall of windows is the heated/cooled community pool right next door --- so much fun and easy to get to! When you walk out the front door you won't want to miss taking a walk down the neighborhood promenade - it is lush and so lovely to do a night time walk with all of it lit up. You can enjoy coffee every morning while watching the sunrise from the upstairs breezeway. You can spend the day lounging on the turf and playing washers or corn hole. When you visit the beach you are welcome to take our beach toys, chairs, and ice chest with you! You can spend your evenings by the fire ring after a day at the beach, toasting to another fantastic day in Port A as the sun sets.

**4 minutes from miles and miles of Sandy Beaches for walking, biking, jogging, building sand castle, horseshoes, shelling, and the best sunbathing you can find. Also available nearby are beach rentals for surfing, sailboarding, jet skiing, and so many other ways to have fun . . . . . OR, just lay on the beach and relax!!

Great place and location

House was wonderful and really well styled. Love the overall layout - we had 3 generations in the house and there was enough room for us all to spread out. Location is great; close to the pool for the kids and easy access to the beach.

Great experience!

I have rented places at the Texas coast for 40 years and this is one of the best places I have ever rented. The house layout was perfect for our family, the Decor was classy and beachy; extremely clean, everything we needed was provided, the kitchen was equipped with high-end pots pans, dishware, flatware, etc. I would highly recommend this place. additionally, the rental company, New Wave, was very responsive and kind and helpful. Very refreshing!

Nice layout

Two of the rooms are completely separated from the third room. This allowed the children to stay separated from the main part of the house so they slept better. Location was also super convenient.

Summer getaway

The perfect home for active families. Close to the beach and restaurants. Floor plan is ideal for 2 families with two separate masters. Living area is large and comfortable for gathering inside to play games or watch TV. The outdoor has an upstairs living space for lounging and another area downstairs. The photos do not do this place justice.

Would recommend but with caution on fees

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately 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: We enjoyed our stay and the location was great. We were right by the pool, the room setup was perfect, and the kitchen was stocked well. We cleaned the grill twice after using it and were billed for an additional cleaning fee which is misplaced. We are always extra respectful of the homes we rent and are disappointed at the grab for extra cash from our stay.

Awesome Family Vacay

This home was fantastic and would easily fit two families of four. This time it was just my squad of four. The space itself was better than advertised and it was great being right next to the pool. Access to the garage was great and it just seemed like everything was well thought out. From hoses to rinse off to the Roku TVs and big table for family game night. The New Wave Vacation company that manages it made everything so easy. They had the place cooled off and the ice maker was full. It could not have been a better experience. Highly recommend staying at the sweet and salty.

Great Amenities, 5 Star Kitchen

The kitchen was stocked with quality cookware, gadgets. It was great for gourmet cooking! Location was great. Parking was a bit tight. I would also suggest checking to make sure you don't forget anything. Our group accidently left very expensive styling items (totally our fault) . One item was returned but the more expensive dyson airwrap styler item was not found.

Amazing Family Friendly Retreat

It was absolutely amazing from the decor, to the cleanliness, to the ease of checkin and check out. We loved our stay and are already planning a trip to return to the same house. Loved how kid friendly the house was…it had a baby gate and a pack and play and even kid friendly dishes. The roku tvs were a nice touch. The barbecue pit does the job for burgers and hot dogs. We were so comfortable the whole entire stay. Completely not a negative at all but if you have a big group just remember to bring extra dishwasher pods, trash bags, toilet paper and paper towels. You do get starter stuff but not enough for the weekend but we came prepared. Highly recommend!

The inside is decorated so cute, the kitchen was well stocked, and the house just had everything we needed. From games, to books, to the welcome bucket- they thought of everything! The outside space was wonderful, especially loved the breezeway between the garage and house. It was a great place to unwind and rinse off after the beach. We had a wonderful vacation, made even better by this beautiful and comfortable house. We will be back!!
