We couldn't have asked for a better place. This house has everything you need. The kitchen is well stocked and spacious. Living room is so cozy. The three bedrooms are perfect for a family and so comfy! Great fenced in yard for the kiddos and dogs. Loved walking in and finding water and food bowls ready for the dogs! What a nice touch.
Washer and dryer super handy. Front porch has plenty of sitting room and a terrific breeze. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch in the morning and watching the ships come in!
Rent a buggy or golf cart and you can easily get to the beach in five minutes. Plenty of restaurants, grocery store and shopping close by. Covered parking was an added bonus. Home is on a very quiet street in a nice residential neighborhood. House was super clean and comfortable. Deborah is an A plus host. We can't wait to come back!

My family (2 adults, 2 kids, 1 giant dog and 1 smaller dog) absolutely loved our stay at Twelve Palms! The house was so clean, super cute, and only a couple of minutes from everything we wanted to do. Loved that the yard was a great size and fenced so I didn’t have to worry about my dogs wandering off.
Deborah was so friendly and quick to respond to any questions I had. We had so much fun and are already planning a return trip next year.

We stayed 5 nights and had a great time. The property is well-kept and great for a family. The upstairs back patio gets a great breeze at night that seems to be straight from the ocean. Also, discovered a bird / nature preserve walk just a half mile walk down the road from the property. Great time overall.

Had the most relaxing and comfortable stay at this gem! The host is very responsive and more than accommodating. The house is spotless and has everything you need to enjoy your stay. Kitchen is spacious and is perfect for cooking meals for our group of 6 people. The beds are so comfortable!!! We will definitely be returning soon! Deborah thank you for everything!

We stayed for 6 days at the house with our family and our dogs. The house was very clean upon arrival and check in was super easy. The house is very comfortable (more so than many rental houses we've stayed in) and was a great setup for a beach vacation. It was so nice to be able to take our dogs with us and have a fenced in yard for them to use. The house is very close to town (souvenir shops, restaurants) and is not too far from the beach (can easily get there in a golf cart). The neighborhood was quiet and very pretty. The house had everything we expected as well as was stocked with other nice to have items (extra toilet paper, bath products, dish washer pods, games/puzzles, etc.). The beds were very comfortable and our son (age 7) loved the bunk room.

We had a great time staying here! Plenty of room four the 6 of us and 2 giant breed dogs. This place is exceptionally stocked, especially in the kitchen. I feel like normally, rentals only have one set of dishes and I am constantly washing in order to accommodate the next meal. It was awesome to have plenty of plates and flatware. Additionally there was plenty of room for hanging out and spending time together. The decks had comfortable furnishings and the back one was a great place to oversee that our dogs behaved in the securely fenced backyard during potty breaks. We had a great time and zero stress due to having everything we needed. Communication, check in and check out were a breeze! If we come back to Port A we will have no need to look for anything different. This place was A+! Thank you for such a great experience!

The house was as described and perfect for dogs. Deborah alerted me that we could check in early and was easy to talk with if needed. We needed nothing but sunshine, laughter and relaxation. We achieved them all. Thank again and hoping to be back at Twelve Palms in the fall.

We were pleased with the property and enjoyed our stay very much. We found the house to be as advertised and as shown in the posting photos. The fenced backyard was great for our pets. The only problem is I keep getting emails concerning Leeward Sands but we stayed at Twelve Palms. The stay was great though.

Great property - especially the wonderfully well-equipped kitchen! We prepared a delicious Thanksgiving feast and continued our turkey gumbo tradition for Friday. Nice backyard for our dogs and just over a mile to the beach. Great hosts who communicated quickly with us and had good recommendations for local attractions. Birding Center is a block away!

Twelve Palms was absolutely beautiful inside and out. Drinking morning coffee on the front deck while ships were passing through the bay was such a relaxing morning. The kitchen had everything you could need to cook any meal. The rooms were absolutely beautiful, and the beds were comfy. Definitely a 5 star rating and will be back. I would recommend Twelve Palms to all my friends and family.

Checking in was an easy process. Instructions are clear. We had a few cleanliness issues when we first arrived but not bad enough to ruin our visit. We will definitely return and choose the same home. The kitchen contained everything we needed. The view from the front porch is great. Thanks for providing such a nice home.

We all enjoyed staying at 12 Palms! House was very cozy and comfortable and had everything we needed. The only drawback was the mosquitoes downstairs.... almost carried us away! Granddaughter is very sensitive to them but we put out some torches and sprayed ourselves down and we were fine. Would stay again for sure!

We all love staying here (including my "Big" dog- lab mix) and the owner (Deborah) is GREAT!! She'll answer any questions you have promptly and give you tips on places to eat if you ask. The house is great and has everything you need ( pots/pans/ coffee maker/ toaster and even a blender) including a washer and dryer. Can't wait to come back!!

Cannot imagine finding better accommodations in Port A for my wife and I. Everything about Twelve Palms was ideal for our five-day stay. Location was suitable for golf cart rental, close enough to all the attractions (3 minutes or so) but also sufficiently away from the hubbub. Fenced backyard was great for our canine companion. We ate a few meals in but mainly took the house suggestions for dining out and loved them all. If you wanted to prepare all your meals there’s everything necessary to do so in the home. Very good WIFI service to keep you connected if that’s desirable. Easy check-in, easy check-out. Perfect communication throughout. Will most definitely make this our preferred home on the Texas Gulf Coast.

Our family enjoyed staying at Twelve Palms because it was just as described. We were looking for a quiet, clean home that had cheerful, current environment and rooms for our family’s sleeping needs. We loved that we could bring our dog along and that we could easily let her out in the back for quick breaks for her if needed. This home is great for cooking, too, as it’s well appointed with all the pots and pans and tools anyone could need. The host was an excellent communicator, reaching out to check in and make sure all was well. We will stay here again.

Family getaway
We had a great experience, the house’s location is great, and was just as described on the vrbo site. Our dogs loved the back yard. However, we did noticed the house was very dusty, and the bathrooms weren’t really clean. There was hair all over the bathrooms floors and in the shower. Overall we really enjoyed staying at the house and would recommend it.

Pole Vault Port Aransas
Wonderful house! It looked great online and was even better in person. Thank you so much. My wife and daughter especially liked all the little extras. There was nothing lacking. The AC was super cold and the location great. The backyard was perfect for the dog and all the room in the driveway was awesome 😎. My son was pole vaulting at Robert’s Point Park and it was so close. The shops and everything were just a 1 minute golf cart ride away!

We'll be back!
Our family of three generations takes an annual Texas beach trip, and this has been our favorite property yet! Everything we needed was on hand, and the access to the beach and the community pool can't be beat. What also can't be beat is access to the attentive owner and staff. They were immediately available for questions or any help needed. Five stars all around to Deborah, et al!

Granddaughter’s First Trip to the Beach
Great! Deborah was most helpful and accommodating. She provided numerous recommendations on places to eat, things to do, and places to see. My wife and I have been to Port A on numerous occasions, but Twelve Pines was the best. A great trip for our granddaughters’s first trip to the beach!
