The house had everything we needed for our stay. We brought our own grill because someone said in a review that the other grills were rusted out. We did not need to bring our grill because there is a new one at the property now. Beds are comfortable, air conditioning worked great, and refrigerator worked great! Loved the boardwalk to the beach and the view from the deck. ##### Susan S.

Toilets are very short and difficult to use with no rails, 2 old non-working appliances, no non-stick pans, Nest thermostat changed to a warm 75 several times a day, beds are hard and old flat pillows, no outside shower, non-working ice maker in old cracked fridge. There is a nice narrow ocean view. Maintenance guys and management team was very friendly. ##### Carol R.

Door doesn’t shut, shower head sprays everywhere. - stains in the sheets.. ew. Would not recommend staying here. ##### Ryan D. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jessica L. 5 Sept 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location, needs updates Loved the ease of getting to and from the beach. We were able to spend the whole day at the beach and if we needed anything from the house, like sandwhiches or to let the dogs out to potty, the house was right there. We grilled out a couple times but it would have been nice to have a light downstairs by the grill so you can see what you’re doing. We started late the first night and had to use our phone light. The kitchen counter needs to be replaced, it didn’t feel sanitary with the grout of the tile. The living room was very nice and the couches were very comfortable. We really enjoyed the large table for meals and games in the evening. The porch was also a good spot to hang. The house was very clean when we arrived. ##### Jessica L.

Property is a fantastic location with very easy beach access. Could use a little TLC (removal of dead tree out front and mow/cut weeds/broken chair taken off porch/two old grills in disrepair taken off property) But plenty of kitchen cooking items and board games! Sitting area was cozy and family friendly - plenty of towels. Was cool inside through our stay. ##### Jackie B.

Overall impression: If we stay in Port A, we would definitely stay here again. Then management company seemed top notch. Thank you for allowing us to rent your home. ##### Kristin K. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Evan G. 3 Jul 2021 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Run down beach house. Went there with my wife, two children (5 and 13) and my mother-in-law. The location of the property was excellent. A short walk to the beach via the private boardwalk was awesome day and night. Sitting on the upstairs back deck and listening to the waves at night was perfect. We go to Port Aransas and rent a house at least once a year if not two times. This was by far the most run-down house that I've stayed in since vacationing there as an adult. It is advertised as having cable but there isn't. There are three televisions, none of which have cable. Someone previously left a ROKU stick with the living room TV so we were able to entertain our 5 year old with that when necessary. The tile countertop has missing tiles and some that are held on with white duct tape. There are a couple of appliances built into the cabinets that don't work. The second bathroom sink doesn't drain. There are holes in the floor where you can see 10 feet to the ground beneath you (the house in on stilts). Everything hanging on the walls was covered in dust. On the south side of the house, the floor slopes off by at least a few inches in the span of a few feet. When looking from beneath the house, the hardware connecting the "stilts" to the support beams is extremely rusted and I question the structural integrity of the place. I am in construction and deal with this type of thing for a living. Above the outdoor shower, there is evidence of rodent activity. I cleaned off insulation that had fallen onto the slab as a result of this activity only to see it there again the next day. Clearly a high-traffic area. I've been coming to Port A for my entire life. All of my mother's side of the family either lives in Corpus or on the island. I'm aware that this is a beach house. And I know that rodents and insect activity is common in this climate. But like I said, this was by far the most run-down rental that I have stayed in. Honestly, it's not really a deal-breaker for me, or I wouldn't have stayed. If I would have known though I would have stayed somewhere else for that much money. ##### Evan G.

It provides easy access to the beach and plenty of restaurants, groceries, gas stations, etc... nearby. The property itself isn't so great. Like other reviews have already stated, the property is dingy and very much in need of repairs. I would not recommend staying here if you plan on spending any significant amount of time in the property itself doing anything other than sleeping. ##### Chris K.

We could see the ocean from a good portion of the deck. The really negative thing about this home is the low standards of ownership. It was HOT inside. We read the reviews knowing others said it was hot so we came prepared with multiple fans. They tell you after you book that the thermostat must stay no lower than 74 degrees, yikes! Even if we had put it much lower it would not have helped as the home is not well sealed. There were holes in the floor where air could escape which left the home very hot. The a/c unit looked new and there is a nest thermostat but with the house not being sealed it just doesn’t hold in cold air. The bedrooms were the worst for the heat where you need to sleep on top of all covers with ceiling fan and additional fans blowing on you — and it’s still very uncomfortable. We thought hard about sleeping in our car just to cool off. It was in the 70s outside during our stay so I can’t imagine what it would be like if warmer out. The other downfall is that it is very dirty — the grout is black, kitchen/fridge gross, bathrooms/shower head gross, doors, walls, carpet, etc are all gross. If you wipe something down your towel is black. Sheets and towels were all clean, although I would recommend bringing your own bedding if scratchy sheets bother you. We loved that it was a dog friendly home, but the downside to that was that the rugs and carpet were gross. Easy to get in/out with a keyless entry. ##### Courtney B. ### 8/10 Good #### Lisa A. 15 Apr 2021 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family time We had a lot of fun.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental.

It was basically on the beach and a fabulous secluded neighborhood. We will definitely be back next year. ##### Rachael D.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a great location and despite the house needing a lot of repair, the house worked out fine for my family. The cons: I feel that there was a pretty hefty cleaning fee and I expected the house to be immaculate but when we walked in the first thing I noticed was the thick layer of dust on the kitchen fan. It looked like it had never been wiped down. The blinds were all covered in a thick layer of dust as well and you could see dust sitting on all the surfaces like the TV and the light fixtures. That was a bit disappointing and gross. The tile on the kitchen counter tops were literally crumbling off to where there were parts being held on with TAPE. One of the comforters had a giant rip in it. None of the lamps worked. The rails on the stairs were coming off. The house needed a lot of repair. There was only one roll of toilet paper along with less than half a roll on the holder from whoever used it before even though we were told there were two rolls in each bathroom for us. Items that were supposed to be there weren't like dish soap.Seems like from all the negatives it was a terrible place! The pros were it was over all a cute house. A bit out dated sure. It had a nice big deck and a little picnic table under the house that was great for the kids because it also seemed to have its own sandbox around it so they could play there as well. There were beach toys available for us to use and the beach was a short walk down the board walk which was private and really nice. The house was spacey enough for us and the appliances that mattered worked for us such as the fridge and stove. I read people complain about how hot the house was. We actually felt cold most of the time and had to turn the air up. However we like it more on the warm side so...Customer service was good. I ended up forgetting some items there and they were able to ship them back to me.It's a toss up on if we would come back. I might recommend with warning and que ##### jessica d. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chrissie B. 29 Sept 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### La Playa love This property is on a great beach access and is exactly as described.

Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jamie H. 14 Sept 2020 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Great location, but dated We really liked staying at The Sherman House. Check in process was easy and we were impressed with the management company that responded quickly and fixed issues. At one point the microwave started sparking and they quickly came out and replaced it. The location of this property is great, in a quiet little neighborhood with easy boardwalk access. The interior is very dated, bathroom hardware was broken, kitchen appliances very old. There were no spices, salt and pepper to cook with and barely any utensils. The air conditioner does not work and needs to be replaced. It was constantly running at 75 but never actually got to 75. The temp stayed more like 80+ and nights were awful to try and stay cool. The guest bedroom was very hot. The grill outside looked like it was rusted out, so that was a no go for us. Overall great location, money just needs to be spent to update, fix the AC and make it more comfortable with cooking accessories for guests. ##### Jamie H. ### 8/10 Good #### Patricia M. 7 Sept 2020 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Yaya’s Getaway We enjoyed our stay.
