The pictures are online or not what you get when you get there things are very different. They are under a stage 3 drought yet all of the properties around them had plants blooming, grass was green, trees healthy. they just had dead weeds and garbage in the yard Rusty fire pit, rusty grill that was unusable. nowhere to unpack there’s no closet there’s no shelves for your food. There’s no pantry. There’s nothing literally you’re in the kitchen you turn around you’re staring at the sofa and the door then you step through a little space that’s the bathroom a place for bedding and the bedroom with one nightstand and an open shelf. The floors felt sandy and dirty when we got there they looked dirty, they are concrete no rugs It’s decorated really cute but it is so small. We had a lot of problems with ants and bugs. We had issues with the AC they had to come and have it serviced while we were there then while we were gone, the pest control sprayed the counters sprayed around my food my pets bowls. I had to throw mostly everything away. The refrigerator froze everything that was in the back half ruined the rest of my food. They gave us 150 credit for the onslaught of issues and 20for the cheap grill we bought CVS to cook. The mattress on the bed needs to be replaced so does the loveseat. Thing were very worn and not in good shape. Would not recommend this cottage

Thank you for sharing this detailed feedback. We’re sorry the home did not meet your expectations and that the condition, layout, cleanliness, pests, AC, refrigerator, and outdoor amenities affected your stay. We understand how frustrating it was to deal with these issues, especially the food that was impacted during pest treatment. We’re reviewing the listing photos and description for accuracy and are addressing the maintenance concerns, including the grill, fire pit, furnishings, mattress, landscaping, flooring, refrigerator, and pest-control procedures. We also regret that the service visits disrupted your stay. Thank you for bringing these matters to our attention.

Good stay here. Right off of Alistair Road so very convenient to walk or drive. No bugs of any kind that we saw. The only issue we had was with the toilet, on the first day we had to plunge it, as it had filled up with water, and we didn't put anything down it at all. After that it seemed to be fine. Will stay again.

Wonderful little cottage worth repeat visits!

My husband and I love this little house in the heart of Port Aransas! It's well-maintained, cute, offers all the privacy of a private home with a gated and fenced yard, and is perfectly located. Many things are within walking distance. This was our second stay at this house, and we love it so much that I can't imagine staying anywhere else now! I can't reccommend it highly enough!

Very Cute

Comfy bed so didn't mind that TV in the living room didn't get Netflix and had to binge watch from bed:) Backyard is very cute. Only down sides was TV in the living room and BBQ needs a new rack in it. Within walking distance to shops, restaurants and grocery store. Would definitely stay there again.

Extermination services and sink

We love staying at this property and have rented it several times now. The sink in the bathroom is not draining properly and needs to be unclogged. I also recommend extermination service due to several large cockroaches inside the property and an infestation of fire ants outside.

Fled Rental in Under 24 Hours

RENTERS BEWARE, IT'S A DUMPSTER FIRE. They can not guarantee you'll have a working toilet at any point when it rains. The property is old and the toilet quit working. All they could tell me was they could do anything about it and we just had to wait and hope it would start working. We had to make 5 trips in the rain to a gas station down the street. We fled the property in less than 24 hours since it was forecasted to keep raining. They did refund 2 night base price but with the fees and insurance we paid around $500 for 22 hours there.

Hi Kelley Thank you for the review. We do understand your frustrations, but your review contains some statements that are highly exaggerated. If our area receives an extremely heavy amount of rain in a short amount of time, some properties can have an issue with the plumbing drains. This is because city sewer lines can back up when the volume of rain becomes greater than the drain lines can handle. We received around 8 inches of rain in less than 12 hours during your stay. This is a once a year occurrence at most and does not happen every time it rains. Unfortunately there is nothing that anyone can do about this. The excess water simply has to have time to drain. The heavy rain happened overnight and the excess water had drained sufficiently so that the plumbing could drain again by around 1:00 that afternoon. All of our other guests understood this was a unique situation. If you would have shown just a tad bit of patience with the situation, you would've had a much better experience.

The place is great but management was rude.

Upon arriving we loved the location, and the location within the community is great. It is one of the cottages on the backside, so it offers more privacy in the backyard. The yard is very nicely done with large palm trees and outdoor shower. The redo of the cottage is well thought out, and worked great for the two of us. When we got there was a huge dead cockroach on the floor in the living room. There was long black hair clumps in the bathroom and kitchen. It makes me worry with COVID that they cleaned very well. I cleaned all the surfaces again with cleaner we brought. When we stay here we don't expect 5 star service, but we do expect a few small things. Our stay was only 4 nights. They gave us 2 small trash bags for the kitchen. One extra roll of toilet paper and one roll of paper towels. They provide a coffee pot but no filters. There were 3 dishwasher pods. When I called in the morning upon realizing we didn't have filters to even make the coffee we brought the property management was very rude. We brought all of our food so we didn't have to go into restraints and stores. Going to CVS was not something we wanted to do bc of COVID. We bought 150 filters for $1.50. They should have provided those. There should also be enough trash bags for one per day. You are cooking and have food to through out so not to stink up the place. Each night the trash needs to go out. Now to the bed. It is lumpy, and makes a lot of noice. The bed was one of the worst I have ever slept on. We go to Port A every year multiple times a year. We stay in the Spanish Cottages several times over the years. This just was not the best experience mainly due to management not providing a clean and the bare bones items you will need. Overall the actual place was nice. I can recommend it if you can get over the bed.

Not what we had expected

We walked in and we're shocked at how small the place was. The pictures are very deceiving online. When we walked in we immediately noticed a dead cockroach in the living area and then another one in the bedroom next to the bed. I went to the bathroom immediately when we got there and there was dried urine on the seat. So we knew it had not been cleaned in a while. The dishes had dried food all over them when we went to use them. At that point we just hoped the bed sheets were clean. We actually ended up leaving and not staying our 3rd night bc we were so uncomfortable. I would not recommend this place.

Clean but buggy

Everything was as described. Everything was clean. It was comfortable. There were a few issues tho. When we walked into the property, a very large cockroach was staring at us from the kitchen counter. There were also a few (3) very small roaches in the bathroom. Finally, the last few minutes at the property, I was picking up trash in the private yard and stepped onto a small piece of plywood lying on the ground in the corner of the property. Suddenly, it gave way and I sunk up to my knee in stinky black water and mud. It was seriously foul! It got on my shorts, all over my leg and soaked both shoes and socks. I was able to take my shoes and socks off and rise off with the hose. Afterwards, on the 3hr ride home, my wife said that I definitely still smelled like sewer water, even tho I’d rinsed off and left my shoes and socks in the back of the truck. The place seemed pretty nice until that last 3 minutes there. Just needs some extra pest control and a steel plate over that damn hole!

Family stay

Tiny home, or Casita, whatever you want to call it. The king bed was very comfortable, my 6yr old had no trouble with the couch bed, and my 1yr old was great in her pack n play which I put next to the king. The place was well furnished, comfortable and quaint. The kitchen was severely lacking in good quality cooking utensils, pans and pots. There wasn't even any salt in the cupboard. So beware. The outside was fantastic! We loved the outdoor shower, and used it every time we came back from the beach (the cold handle didn't work, so we ended up using the hose, same difference). Cleanliness was okay. It smelled immaculate when we first walked in, but we later found that there were some clumps of dog hair in the house and especially on the front patio. But it is listed as pet friendly so I wasn't too grossed out. We aren't allergic or it would have been a problem. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Great spot!

I really enjoyed my stay and wish I was able to stay longer. It’s a great little place and had everything I needed. The only thing I couldn’t figure out while I was there was the 2 remote control situation. I got you tube to play the first night I was there so was able to watch movies but the next two nights the movies would never load. It wasn’t a big deal since I really didn’t sit around and watch tv all day haha. I will definitely be back!

We enjoyed the cottage , it was very clean and it had everything we needed. We loved how close it was to the beach. We especially were impressed with the outside shower which we used everyday after the beach. We will definitely rent it again.

Wonderful Property and Privacy

Privacy fence surrounded the entire property. Great place to stay for two people (and small dogs of course). Minutes from the beach, supermarket. Right off the main strip. Very cozy accommodations. Fire pit, outside shower (indoor shower too) to rinse the sand off. The BBQ pit was a bit rusty so we didn't use it, but that would be the only issue I can think of. WiFi was strong and consistent. Would definitely book this location again!

Family friendly oasis

We LOVED this property! It was perfect for our little family (2 adults, 2 kids & 2 small dogs). The privacy yard was so cute & comfortable & felt like our own oasis. The space was clean & had everything we needed. My ONLY note to future renters is not to leave any food on the counter unless it is in an ant-proof container. We had leftover pizza & could not fit the box in the fridge so we opted to leave it on the counter & woke up to ants. Obviously this is nothing that would sway us from staying here again, just a heads-up ;)
