The place is small but has practically everything we needed, except a Keurig machine. We also would have preferred either a shorter entry code or a key for the door. Also, a better quality toilet paper would be much appreciated.

If you are claustrophobic, do not stay here. Place is mini size. Absolutely no room for anything. Even the little outdoor space is horrible. Parking is an ordeal as well. Kitchen is just as bad. We were very unhappy with our accommodations. Would not recommend to anyone.

Cute cottage close to golf car rentals, restaurants and beach. It was very easy to social distance (as long as you stayed away from "local" hangouts). Highly recommend Coffee Waves- has a drive-thru (for golf carts too) and gelato!!!

Cute cottage
The cottage is very cute, has everything you need. Great location and close to beach. The only reason I gave it a 4 star rating is due to the bed. The bed DESPERATELY needs a new mattress. It’s extremely lumpy and very squeaky.

Everything was great! The only change I would suggest is for the owner to splurge on a new mattress. It is very uncomfortable and squeaky! I read other reviews prior to our stay that was a consistent issue for other guest so at least I was prepared.

The location is only one of the perks of staying here. It is within walking distance to a convenience store and a golf cart rental; you could also walk or ride a bike straight to the beach. There is plenty of parking and the property is very well kept. The duplex we rented was very cozy and perfect for 2 people. We made a good choice to stay here and will be staying here on our future visits.

Location was even better than expected
The property was SPOTLESS and the travel bath products and dish soap were an added luxury. We were able to walk easily to the beach with our beach wagon - 1/2 mile. Will stay here again.

Our Stay at All Seasons condominiums
Overall it was a great place that was perfect for our little family of 3. The fenced patio was great for hanging outdoors while also having privacy. However, we were right behind a local bar/pizza joint that is pretty loud until about 11, although we never heard it inside and it never disturbed our baby. We will definitely consider this place in the future, but maybe one that is slightly bigger so the kids can be in their own room.

We stayed in Cottage F and it was perfect for us. We’re following the guidelines of social distancing as much as possible, so we wanted to stay in a place with no common hallways, handrails, etc. The cottage allowed us to keep to ourselves but still enjoy the beach and town. Everything was very clean, decorated nicely, and the a/c was super. If I had to name a downside it would be the creaky, kind of hard bed. Not a huge deal. Loved our stay!

Brief stay at cottage in Port Aransas
We had a very short stay, 3 nights and two days. Cottage was sufficient for that short of stay and would have been good for longer stay. Enjoyed warmer weather than we have up north but was actually cooler than normal for South Texas. Beach and city were nice.

Enjoyed our stay here! Small but perfect for 2 people. Clean, well-arranged, and a great location in town. Walking distance to grocery store, mini-mart, shops, and restaurants. Only negative was some issues with the door entry code being changed while there. Quickly resolved with a phone call.

Small efficiency condo with all the amenities you could ask for. All units have been recently refurbished from floor to ceiling. Centrally located near downtown and only a few blocks off the beach. It's where my wife and I love to stay whenever we're in Port A.
