Excellent location and walking distance to the beach. Very quiet street with very little traffic. Pet friendly. Bed was very comfortable although the ceiling fan was a bit noisy. We definitely would like to stay here again.

Love that Rooms have their own bathrooms and on opposite sides of the house, providing more privacy. Good area close to beach. Front and back door give you good access to your vehicle making it convenient to unload and load belongings and not having to go up stairs to get in home. K cup and regular coffee pot. Refrigerator makes ice. Good idea to to bring a baby gate to prevent little ones from playing on stairs. We loved this place so much. Already planning on staying here when we return.

This was a great spot for our family of 8. Loved being so close to the boardwalk and beach and that everyone had their own bed! The only thing that was odd was that this is the first time we’ve stayed in a rental like this and not been provided with spices for cooking (salt and pepper) as well as no coffee or filters. They did tell us that they wouldn’t be there so we could prepare at least. There is a Keurig and a coffee pot machine. The mosquitoes are next level, so bring your big spray!! I also highly recommend getting a golf cart. Makes it so much easier to get your things to the beach via the boardwalk. Overall, this was the perfect spot and we would definitely stay here again.

Family vacations are what it's all about! We're so glad the home was the perfect fit for your family and that everyone had their own bed. Being so close to the boardwalk and beach really does make for an easy and relaxing getaway! Thank you for mentioning the kitchen supplies. We provide a starter set of amenities, but we don't stock food items such as coffee, filters, or spices, and we're glad you were able to plan ahead. And yes... the Texas coast mosquitoes can definitely be determined guests this time of year! 😊 Hearing that you'd definitely stay with us again is one of the best compliments we could receive. We can't wait to welcome your family back for another beach getaway!

I love this property. It was awesome and met most of my families needs. I would only suggest, bring extra blankets, pillows and towels cause the house did not provide any extras. Also, there are only two TVs in the house—living room and kids room. I kind of wish they had one in master room so my grandkids could watch tv. I love the game room in garage and extra chairs to use at the beach. By far one of the best rentals I have had at Port A. The pool was nice too so and kids enjoyed fishing in the ponds nearby.

Great place for a family beach vacation

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: My Happy Place was a perfect place for our extended family beach vacation. We enjoyed the covered back patio and the kitchen, living room, and two bedrooms being on the ground floor for some of our family members' mobility. It's fairly close to the beach, but we rented a golf cart, which I highly recommend for ease. The neighborhood is well-maintained, and we enjoyed the community pool and quiet atmosphere.
