Property was run down. Room was dirty. Floors hadnt been swept or mopped. Sheet smelled like cigarettes smoke. Zero space between cabins. Broom was filled with dog hair from previous guests.

Unfortunately, we didn't hear anything from the guest during their stay except to request to check in several hours early. Had she brought any issue to our attention, we would have had our on-site manager go by. Each rental is cleaned, inspected by the cleaning manager, and inspected again by staff before being released for check-in.

We were so happy and satisfied with everything!!!! Our on call after hours guy was very helpful and we appreciate the on stand by service. I can't remember if his name was Jonathan or Jacob, or Justin, but it definitely started with a J!!!! And he was a true blessing. For what we paid, we couldn't be happier!!! We plan on booking next year around the same time, if not sooner!!!! We appreciated the simplicity of the grounds and rooms setup!! Our kiddos really appreciated the bunk beds!!!!! I recommend this humble abode for the thrifty family!!! It was really nice to see all the money flowing through Port Aransas!!! GOD Bless you guys!!!! Thanks again!!!!
