It comfortably accommodated my husband and me, our four kids, my parents, and my brother and sister in law. The kitchen is incredibly well-appointed for cooking just about anything, though if anything, it could use fewer duplicative dishes to allow for a little space for your own food, spices, etc. One down side for us is the fact that there isn’t a grill. And if you bring one, you have to use it in the driveway where there’s no shade. Makes no sense, IMO. The pool is great. The sunshade wasn’t over it when we got there, but we called the management company and they were responsive. Sent someone out the next day to put it on. That made a big difference, allowing us to use it for longer periods and cooling off the water significantly. The downstairs master suite is beautiful with lots of room and a separate tub and shower that are both pretty awesome. Be sure to get the key to the back fence, which allows you to access the outdoor shower when you get back from the beach so you don’t have to track all the sand in the house. Highly recommend! ##### Amanda E.

Reviewer Comments: This Is our second time staying at this rental vacation sleeping is priceless lol I slept like a baby, but I suggest there be lights in the backyard because it was already dark by 6ish and we weren’t able to see anything downstairs, also the Wi-Fi was a 0 we never got service on the Wi-Fi we had to use our own hotspot to connect to anything for the weekend. Communication the first time was superior this 2nd time around was not so great. Over all we loved the stay but those few details were to be addressed. ##### Yessenia B.

Reviewer Comments: Everything at this property was just as described. Plenty of space to spread out and our dog loved the fenced in yard. Only things I would recommend are adding basic cleaning supplies and salt & pepper available to guests. ##### SHELLY H.

The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our large family took our first beach trip together to Port A recently and stayed at La Casa Gialla for 4 nights. From check-in to check-out, we thoroughly enjoyed our time and La Casa Gialla was clean, comfortable and accommodated our large group well. The bedrooms were nice size and the beds very comfortable. The kitchen and living room areas were roomy enough for all of us to be together at the same time and still not feel crowded. We weren't able to enjoy the outdoor patio as often due to mosquitos and the heat, but this wasn't a big issue for us as we spent most of our time at the beach. The only recommendations we have is there wasn't space in the kitchen for non-perishables (pantry space), so we had to leave most of our groceries in bags on the floor. Having a gate between the kitchen and hallway would have been helpful to keep the little ones safe and away from the stairs. The outdoor shower wasn't working properly, so we weren't able to rinse off when returning from the beach and before entering the home. These are all minor issues and none that we felt hampered our stay in any way. We highly recommend La Casa Gialla for a family wanting to spend a fun trip at the beach while having all the comforts of home. ##### Michelle K.

The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Pros: Big home, private pool, golf cart, close beach access, large driveway.Cons: Check in was a disaster! We received a ready to check in email) as it states to hold off on check-in until we receive code) @4:03 pm and home was far from ready/cleaned. We waited another 30minutes as our frozen foods were melting in car. We then had to wait again for quick home inspection. We Checked in, left house to check out area and beach,came back to hot home upstairs and we tried adjusting A/C unit but seemed to not be adjusting correctly as it was set at 80. We called the “after hours” service and were charged $150 for doing so as they said someone tuned on heater (still makes no sense to this day and we were at blame for it). Guest room outlets we’re out so had to wait until following day to use any plugs there. That same room also had missing TV remotes. This home has lots of stairs and not suitable for elderly or babies. Also, plan to bring your own trash bags as cleaning crew left none. We brought along our dog but there was no grassy area, so we had to leave the home each potty break or use puppy pads. Overall, we had a nice family vacation but seems to be somewhat unorganized due to “busy summer bookings”. ##### A guest from Corpus Christi, TX This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kimberly H. 1 Aug 2022 #### Family Fun Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful.

The house was very clean! The kitchen is incredibly well stocked - plenty of bakeware, serving dishes, plates, glasses and flatware, etc. We were able to bake cookies for the holidays and fix lots of wonderful meals with what was available for our use. The pool is not heated so we were unable to use that and there is no grill so we brought a small one, both of these items would be great additions. The house is well set up with comfortable furnishings and plenty of linens. The instructions for anything you need to do are clear and easy to understand. The check in and out process were really easy. The grocery store on island is really expensive so it is definitely worth bringing your groceries in from Corpus Christi. The local store is pretty well stocked for anything you forget or run out of. The house is conveniently located for accessing the beach - it is a bit of a walk but just a few minutes by car. We would definitely use the property again! Our group was 3 seniors, middle-age couple and 2 singles in 20's. ##### Marvin S.

Reviewer Comments: Overall great. My negative comment would be safety. Both showers upstairs need something to make the shower pans not slippery.Same with the upstairs deck and around the pool area.The stairs from the pool up to the deck area was extremely hot and slick has well.The house was extremely well stocked we had a very great stayWould recommend this property ##### Debbie W. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Holly E. 13 May 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cozy, fun and has all the things! It was just a wonderful experience and the home was cozy and had everything you needed. The master bathroom was amazing! It was rainy when we stayed but my twin boys loved sitting on the deck and jumping in the pool anyway. They would get cold and go straight to the master rain hot shower. Perfect distance to the beach with the free golf cart. That was the highlight! The outdoor shower wasn’t working but maybe we didn’t know how to turn it on so we could have reached out and I’m sure the rental company would have helped us. They were a pleasure to work with and seemless transaction getting in and out of the property. Thank you for such a great stay for our family and a very much needed get away. ##### Holly E.

H. 7 Aug 2020 #### Would recommend a stay Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, I really enjoyed the property. Very clean and very comfortable. The private pool was a very nice part of the stay.The only thing I have against the stay at this property is there was a two car garage, which renters don't have access to. Gates were locked with no key to gain access to. This is important to know if you travel from a place far away, you will have chairs, canopies, coolers; which most properties don't want inside the house. So, there is no were to secure your beach stuff, especially if you're in a pickup truck. I called the Property Management company to ask if there was a key, and they stated they've never been asked that before. She said she would call the maintenance folks and get back to me. It's been a week since we've left the property and I'm still waiting on that call.Also, the golf cart that comes with the property, looks very nice, but was a dog. Not much power to it. The company that managed the cart, stated it went twenty miles an hour. I don't think so. We used it once, then decided it wasn't worth the trouble. ##### James L. H.

The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Good: Location, Furnishings, Golf Cart. The Bad: No Garage access or side gate access. No backyard access accept down the stairs in back. Anything you want to take to the pool must go up front stairs, then up the interior stairs and then down the back stairs...super inconvenient! Zero mosquito control, we were swarmed every time we opened the door. The interior was not cleaned well, trash in the kitchen, stains on couch, pots/pans dirty, soda cans in the living room. The pool was dirty and there is no bbq pit available. If you bring your own you must cook on the front drive, won't let you cook by the pool. Won't be staying at this place again...especially for what we paid for the place. ##### Roger H. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Grand Hotel Casselbergh Bruges](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bruges-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Casselbergh-Bruges.h3138252.Hotel-Information) > > [Abbaye des Vaux De Cernay by Paris Society](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cernay-La-Ville-Hotels-Abbaye-Des-Vaux-De-Cernay.h14775.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Whitby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels.d182692.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Phuket Marriott Resort and Spa, Nai Yang Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Phuket-Hotels-Phuket-Marriott-Resort-And-Spa.h15228437.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Myrtos Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Myrtos-Beach-Hotels.0-l6105732-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [SpringHill Suites by Marriott Dallas McKinney/Allen](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dallas-Hotels-SpringHill-Suites-By-Marriott-Dallas-McKinneyAllen.h23474052.Hotel-Information) > > [B&B York Station](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Station-Bed-And-Breakfasts.d6042811-aaBedAndBreakfasts.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [JA Manafaru, The Real Maldives - Complimentary Seaplane for 7 Nights and More - Stay Period Until 23 Dec 2025](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manafaru-Island-Hotels-JA-Manafaru.h7848586.Hotel-Information) > > [My Way Guest House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Durham-Hotels-My-Way-Guest-House.h32787583.Hotel-Information) > > [Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dallas-Hotels-Gaylord-Texan-Resort-Convention-Center.h985065.Hotel-Information) > > [Globales Nova](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Calvia-Hotels-Globales-Nova.h3566658.Hotel-Information) > > [WestCord City Centre Hotel Amsterdam](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amsterdam-Hotels-WestCord-City-Centre-Hotel-Amsterdam.h24905.Hotel-Information) > > [The Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel & Convention Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Conroe-Hotels-The-Woodlands-Waterway-Marriott-Hotel-Convention-Center.h907442.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in York](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels.d5489.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Park Plaza Eindhoven](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Eindhoven-Hotels-Park-Plaza-Eindhoven.h48737.Hotel-Information) > > [Al Messila, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Doha](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Doha-Hotels-Al-Messila.h35030657.Hotel-Information) > > [4 Star Hotels in Newcastle Emlyn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/4Star-Newcastle-Emlyn-Hotels.s40-0-d6141844.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Newcastle-upon-Tyne (NCL) to Beijing (PEK)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ncl/pek/newcastle-to-beijing) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Casablanca (CMN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/cmn/london-to-casablanca) > > [Flights from Kirkwall (KOI) to London (LHR)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/koi/lhr/kirkwall-to-london) > > [Flights from Aberdeen (ABZ) to Wick (WIC)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/abz/wic/aberdeen-to-wick) > > [Avianca](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Avianca-Flights.cAV.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Ponta Delgada (PDL) to Madalena (PIX)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/pdl/pix/ponta-delgada-to-pico-island) > > [Flights from Delhi (DEL) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/del/yyz/delhi-to-toronto) ### Packages > [Port of Malaga](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Of-Malaga-Malaga-Centro.d6220332.Attraction) > > [British Columbia Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/British-Columbia.d11117.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Bourbon Street](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bourbon-Street-French-Quarter.d6139836.Attraction) ### Holiday Rentals > [Europe Holiday Rentals](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Europe.d6022967.Holiday-Rental-Destinations)
