Nice views of the sunsets from the third floor balconies. Nice coffee maker🤗 and a cold fridge! It was a short stay and overall a very good experience. However we could not locate a broom. If we were staying longer finding the broom would have become a priority - it is a beach property. Would definitely recommend the stay for families.

Reviewer Comments: The home is off the beaten path of Port A and is about 4-5 miles away from the downtown area. Nice home and clean. Beds were quite comfortable. The only downside was that we were there after a storm and the mosquitos were difficult. Property management rocks on this one as they went above and beyond just managing this asset. ##### Robin D.

Reviewer Comments: What a great house. We rented Brucie’s Bungalow for the first time for a month this winter and really enjoyed our stay. We’ve been going to Port A for over 50 years, always in the Summer, but the Winter trip was a pleasant surprise. Except for the normal repair items you would expect staying in a house for a month, the house was perfect for our needs. The elevator is a huge bonus, the split level design gives everyone room to spread out, and the yard was very nice for our dog. Good location, short walk/cart ride to beach over private boardwalk. Felt like home away from home. ##### Jerry R. Stayed 12 nights in Jan 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jerry F. 20 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### 145 Mariners Dr Everything was very nice an comfortable. The issues we had was with the operation of the elevator and having no control over the AC. The elevator has a switch issue that is a little annoying and the AC kept us very cold and we had to turn it off occasionally to warm up. We found out that we just needed to call the management office to control the temperature. We had an initial odor when first arriving but it seemed to go away as the AC was started up and ran for a while, there was a sink in the master bathroom that was slow draining. We did have a wonderful time and enjoyed our stay at the rental. ##### Jerry F.

The house is so great. So much room for everyone to spread out. Love the kitchen and dining for enjoying our home cooked meals each evening. The walk to the beach is short and sweet with the boardwalk at the end of the road. We really like working with the management, New Waves Vacation Rentals.

So many different balcony’s. Location was great and quiet away from crazy downtown port a. Only problem was some of the outside furniture was broken and not useable. ##### Christopher S.

If you like to cook and consider yourself a foodie you will enjoy two kitchens “ one in the 3rd floor and one in the rooftop” and all the cookware you need to prep , cook and create great meals for the family. This home also provides a nice view of the backside of the island. Views of the airport and skydivers nonstop as well as a marina view. Good place to escape and only about a mile away from the beach. ##### Theorron J.

The house is very clean and comfortable, with views of the Gulf of Mexico and the music of the waves at night. It is very conveniently located, just outside the bustle of Port Aransas and with no very near neighbors, with easy acess to the beach, but very close to Port Aransas and Corpus Christi attractions and services. Most important to us was it's proximity to the National Seashore on North Padre Island and to the wonderful Aransas National Wildlife Refuge. New Wave, the management company, was very easy to reach for any questions and advice. We highly recommend this site. ##### Giuseppi S.
