Our 6 night stay was fantastic. The cottage was clean, the beds were comfortable. Located within minutes of the beach and restaurants. Hopefully this location will remain pet friendly because we're already planning on coming back next year.

This property was great! While we didn’t have a pet, we enjoyed having an enclosed yard and patio space. The location was perfect as it was only 15-20 minutes from Port A, less than 5 minutes from the White Cap beach, and only 10-15 minutes from Red Dot pier and HEB. Parking was right in front of the condo, but it would’ve been nice and more convenient to have access to both parking spaces in front of the condo. However, there were guest parking spaces available several houses down so we made do. All in all we plan to rebook in the future.

Cute Cabana

This Cabana was very clean and had very nice tropical decorations We enjoyed all the amenities and the side courtyard with a hose and drying racks was a big plus. The two bedrooms, (one with an extra bunk bed) and two baths were very roomy and perfectly accommodated our group. It was on a nice quiet street..

Vacation 2024

The mosquitoes were horrible. The white bedding and sheets are discolored and need to be replaced. Need cookie sheets in kitchen. Main bed is very lumpy. Location worked well for us, plus having our pet stay was great.

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: The Ocean Shade cabana was a wonderful stay for my family and I. It has everything we needed and more. It’s location on the island was close to many souvenir shops and charming restaurants. Our stay there felt like a stress free vacation. We were a quick drive to the beach or we could take a quick walk to the pool. I highly recommend staying there!

Overall a good stay. Recommended.

It comfortably slept myself, my husband, two children & my mother. The place was clean, roomy & maintained. The private pool (for the cottage owners) was roughly a 50ft walk. It was a very short drive to the beach, shopping & amusement. The only issue I had personally was the water pressure in the showers. Other than that I would recommend this cottage to anyone looking to have a nice quiet getaway. We would probably stay again if it weren't for the high price.

Cute and Cozy

Listing is as explained. It’s basic and all you need for a quick get away. Make sure to read info they send as I was able to prepare in the kitchen for meals more adequately. I would have liked a few more basics provided like bath soap and more than 1 laundry soap packet. Overall, we were able to enjoy our stay for the price and we would come again. Hopefully, construction will be minimal next time and the mosquitoes won’t be as bad.

Relaxation at its best

Our stay was very relaxing. Close to the beach and places to eat. Highly recommend. The posting was very accurate. The property manager was able to help get the washer up and running even though it was the 4th of July quickly. Our only issue was we had was ants in the second bedroom that bite my daughter multiple times while she slept. We bought some bug spray and sprayed multiple times. We would stay here again though. Over all we enjoyed our stay at this property.

Perfect get away

The property was fantastic. Very clean. Two complaints is that the door code was absolutely too long. Having an eight digit code is a bit excessive. And the pictures of the pool are a bit misleading. We had to walk down several houses to get to the pool when the pictures made it seem it was right out side the house.
