Host was super responsive, unfortunately another unit took our golf cart by mistake but it was recovered and returned to us within an hour of reporting it. Great area, super close to bars/restaurants. Parking can be tight so do not plan to park more than one car during your stay. Overall 10/10 would stay here again.

Thank you so much for the fantastic review — a 10 out of 10 truly means the world to us!
We're glad our team could jump in quickly when another unit grabbed your golf cart by mistake, and that it was back with you within the hour. Fast, responsive resolution is exactly what we aim for. We're also thrilled you loved being so close to the bars and restaurants!
One quick note for your next visit: the property allows parking for just one vehicle, but the nearby Port Street paid city lot is a handy option anytime you need a little extra space.
We can't wait to welcome you back!

Super convenient spot on the island, easy access to the beach, restaurants and stores. The golf cart was a great addition and made it really easy to go back and forth between the beach and the condo.

Yes very nice, however next time we will choose a place with no stairs as we are older and our dog is older.

Our stay was wonderful. The room was nice and clean. We had plenty of space. Everyone had a wonderful time running around on golf cart. It was very nice the room came with a golf cart. We would come back.
Great location, clean property, and the golf cart access made getting around Port Aransas easy and fun. Property management was friendly and answered the phone quickly when we called.Our biggest issue was a fire alarm that started beeping the first night. We reported it around 6PM, while management was responsive, the problem was never resolved. A note was left on our door at 10:55 PM asking us to call and reschedule maintenance, even though we had already given permission to enter while we were at dinner and a local bar (giving them plenty of time to fix it). When we returned the alarm started was still beeping. We never received any follow-up.One tip for future guests: reserve any complimentary beach chairs, umbrellas, or rental credits well in advance. We placed our reservation online while driving down before our 4:00 PM arrival, and it was accepted with no problem. When the chairs didn’t arrive the next day, we were told there is a 48-hour wait and that we had missed the 2:00 PM cutoff because the company operates on Eastern Time. The chairs weren’t available until the day before we left/checked out. I’d recommend bringing your own beach gear or reserving rentals well before your travel day.Overall, we enjoyed Port Aransas and made the most of our trip. We’d consider staying again if these were simply isolated bumps.

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Listing accuracy
Very misleading with the “pet friendly”, even in the fine print it stated pet friendly, it wasn’t until the very bottom of the listing it mentioned up to a certain weight. Property was in a good, convenient location though. Did have a couple things stolen out of our golf cart overnight but was pretty sure it was from kids who were staying at the property.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and I'm sorry the pet policy caused confusion. I completely understand the frustration, and I want to clear it up. The full details are listed under the "Old Town Cottages Amenity Access and Important Information" section, which notes a $95 fee per pet, a maximum of 2 pets, and a 40 lb weight restriction. That section is the only place the platform allows us to include this kind of information, so it's never our intent to mislead anyone. I'll keep looking for ways to make it as clear as possible for future guests.
I'm glad the location worked well for you — being close to everything makes such a difference during a stay.
I'm also genuinely sorry to hear about the items taken from your golf cart overnight. That's never something anyone should have to deal with, and I understand how unsettling it must have been. Please don't hesitate to reach out if there's anything I can do to help.
Thank you again for your honest review. I hope we have the chance to host you again down the road.
