Comfortable and spacious home
Just minor issues like only having 1 pan to cook (not important if you go out to restaurants for the duration of your stay) the kitchen sink got clogged the last day of our stay, there’s an ironing board but no iron and the master bedroom shower has very little water pressure. Other than that we enjoyed our stay, Cleanliness was great.

The house was great except for the constant nats coming from the master bathroom drain. Location was right across from the pool which was a plus!

House was great indoors. What was not so great was the people surrounding. There is no enforcement of rules or parking permits any one can go. Couldn’t sleep both nights due to the neighbors being loud and obnoxious with the music. People kept parking in our designated parking. The pool was way over crowded.

Jamaica me Happy made us happy!!
This was the second time we stayed in this property and it didn’t disappoint. The property is well laid out, with plenty of room and perfectly decorated. It is super quick drive to beach access with two very nice pools. We can’t wait each year to come stay. It makes us Jamaica is Happy.

Loved it and would stay again!
The house was perfect for our needs. We brought a group of special olympics athletes and they all enjoyed it. We did have a couple of maintenance issues but turnkey was prompt to address them and gave us a partial refund since they couldn’t get the repair done quickly. Would definitely stay there again.

Wonderful condo that met our expectations!!! Extremely clean and comfy beds and pillows. Condo is located right across from the pool area which is amazing also. After being at the beach you can relax in the pool. Even though we didn’t have little ones with us the condos have a nice play scape area which the little ones loved. We will definitely be returning.

From the beginning to the end, everything was beautiful. I had the best time cooking for my kids in the gorgeous kitchen. We played games and stayed up watching movies. We enjoyed the pool that was always pristine clean. The other guests were so kind. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much for our glimpse of heaven ❤

This is an ideal location within walking distance to Aransas beach. Did not use much amenities on the property itself because of duration of stay. Area to improve: Toilet flush needs to be replaced. The house could use some decluttering.

Would stay again, BUT needs some improvement
Overall we enjoyed our stay, the rental fit our family well and was enjoyable. Beds and sheets were very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked which made cooking easy and convenient. The location of the pool to this unit was great and there is a gas station really close that has lots of supplies you may have forgotten.
Here are a few things I took issue with:
1) Check in time is 4pm, which we feel is very late in the day. We made it work but it would have been a lot nicer to be able to drop off our luggage and groceries before 4pm. We called/texted to request an early check in and got an immediate response that said no. I mean, I get that cleaning it important but our request wasn't even considered and upon arrival the entire complex was empty so it just seemed like they could have made it work...if they wanted too.
2) Check out time is 10a.m. and that seems awfully early. Again, we requested a late check out and were immediately shut down, it seems they don't consider these requests.
3) Initial impression is that the rental is clean but after showers everybody was walking around barefoot and after a few minutes of doing this everyone had BLACK feet. This grossed us out, we showered again and spent the rest of the time inside with our flip flops on.
4) Minimal supplies available such as (1) dishwasher pod, (1) laundry pod, (1) trash bag, no soap in restroom, limited toilet paper. We just learned to bring our own supplies next time.
5) Its bright in the Master and living room in the evenings. Some of this you can control by turning off the outdoor lights on your rental, but some you can not control because the lights belong to the unit next door.
Hope this helps.

Great Location
Very much enjoyed the property. We spent alot of time at the pool. The property was conveniently located near the beach although not walking distance. Just the way the beaches in the area are situated really. Had the basics included including beach/pool toys. The only real complaint I'd have is that while towels and some hotel like soaps were included, they were forgotten randomly. For example, one bathroom might have a hand towel or two and the other two bathrooms none. One bathroom might have a wash rag or a towel but another bathroom none. You'd have to run around and find one from another bathroom. Not a big deal once you figure that out. My wife went out and bought a few more until we thought to look. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay. My older children said they wanted to come back to it every year.

Reviewer Comments:
The condo was perfect at accommodating our stay. Good sized rooms, comfy beds, and good kitchen to cook in. However, when we got there, it was dirty. Beds unmade, dishes ect. We called turn key and reported it. After driving 15 hours to the condo with a car full of kids, we had to wait 4 hours for it to be cleaned and ready. Very upsetting. Turn key then offered to pay for a meal so we could go eat and kill time and offered to reimburse $75 of the cleaning fee we paid. They did reimburse our meal, but are now refusing to reimburse us the $75. They claim they listened to the call recorded that day and no one ever promised us the $75. Which is a lie. So all together we are frustrated with turnkey. If you’re traveling a long distance with kids, I don’t recommend booking with them. We also left the condo very clean. Dishes and towels done. Only to still have refusal of the reimbursement. Also, the pool was very over crowded and no supervision. People were drinking and breaking glass bottles, so we couldn’t take the kids to injoy that either.

Pirates Bay
We were really happy with the property. However, we were hoping for an earlier check in time. Also, it would be convenient to have a grill at the property-the one at the pool is not very efficient when cooking for a large number of people. It would also be nice to have kitchen towels in the kitchen, cleaning sponge, olive or cooking oil, ect. We had to make a few trips for essentials.
Overall, we were happy with the house and plan to stay there again. It was clean, large, and had a great layout. Thank you!
