The house was very clean and nicely decorated. There was plenty of room for our family of five. The kids loved playing at the pool. I especially loved that there was a washer and dryer to clean all of our beach stuff before traveling back home. I also learned that there are several houses surrounding the pool that you can rent as a large group. Will definitely recommend! ##### Rachael H.

Justin was available to answer any and all questions. Port A is an absolute jewel of the Texas coast. The house is situated within four blocks to any thing you would like to do. Beach is amazing and the harbor is a relaxing place to sit and watch the ships. Bernie's on a Wednesday night is a blast!!! Again, thank you Justin for your hospitality. ##### Gary B. Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Carolyn M. 11 Dec 2018 #### Great location and as advertised Great location, and we were able to walk to most of the venues we wanted to check out. As other reviewers mentioned, the bathroom door doesn't stay shut/won't latch. We didn't notice any bar noise at night. The pool looks well maintained, although we didn't use it. ##### Carolyn M. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Kat V. 18 Oct 2018 #### Overall good stay The cottage was great! Very cozy and clean. Beds comfortable but door to restroom was hard to lock.

Everything seems to be 5 minutes away. \*Beautifully decorated to help make you feel you are treating yourself. \* Comfortable furniture and beds! \*Great kitchen layout. With table large enough for game night! \*AND the bathroom is bigger than the photos can show. I love how Justin actually has plenty of bath hooks for towels, bathing suits, etc. Plus the towels and linens are luxury hotel quality. \*Fabulous front porch...the afternoon and evening breezes do not disappoint! Probably my favorite part of the house. 😊 \*Then last, but definitely not least....Justin is very prompt on replying to your questions prior to renting, and continues with his wonderful prompt communication through your visit. \*We don't visit Port A often enough but The Cottage is definitely an incentive to visit more often. \*Thanks Justin for taking pride in the Cottage and providing a lovely home to stay for a vacation.
