Captains Quarters Inn Port Aransas TX

10/10 Excellent

"Spacious rooms and staff was great and friendly. Close drive to the beach and pool was great."

No cleaning fee!!

8/10 Good

"Great price for the property. I thought the stairs would be annoying but they actually weren't bad at all. For my weekend stay it was just me and my husband so the one actual bed was enough. The couch is too low to the ground with the tv being too high so I just watched TV in the bedroom. That more of a personal thing than anything towards the property itself. Kitchen appliances were readily available and enough towels in the bathroom cabinet for both of us. Overall, our stay was nice and would definitely recommend this property for a 1 person or 2 person stay. If you have more people, the couch in the living does convert to a bed but probably wouldn't be too comfy and there was a cot in the bedroom closet. Great communication with the host leading up to our stay. Also, there are so many things close by in walking distance so we loved that too!"

Plantation Suites & Conference Center

8/10 Good

"It was ok"

Best Western Port Aransas

8/10 Good

"It was okay, for the money. I woud go back again"

Old Town Road House- 5/Br/4 Ba-Private Heated Pool-Ocean/Bay Views-Rooftop Deck

10/10 Excellent

"We had nine people in our group, and had plenty of room for everyone. We had everything we needed in the kitchen plus more! The host was great with communication! We will definitely be back!!"

Private Cabana | 5 Min to Beach | Picnic Table

8/10 Good

"Great location and perfect for bringing your pet. Walls are pretty thin and on the weekend you can hear everyone's loud music, but the A/C drowns it out pretty well. The floors were pretty dirty, making your feet brown on the bottom after barely walking around, so we did wear sandals inside. There were no beach towels, and the kitchen is stocked with very nice appliances and pots and pans. There is no basic kitchen cooking materials such as salt pepper or olive oil. In the back, there is an outdoor shower and hose which are great after a day on the beach. The inside shower was extremely small, would definitely be difficult for someone larger to use. Overall, we were pleased with our stay."

Priv Pool, Walk to Marina + Eateries, 3 Mins to Beach | Marlin Azul by AvantStay

10/10 Excellent

"The house was sparkling clean, very easy check in and very well stocked with everything you need! The beds are very comfy. We enjoyed the pool in the evenings and found it a good location overall. Easy drive to the beach, walk to ice cream and tortugas restaurant just half a block. Will be back for sure!"

2 Blocks to Restaurants/Shopping. Private Heated Pool! Ocean Views. Golf cart!

10/10 Excellent

"Great Host. Very responsive! Excellent location and home for large groups. The golf cart greatly facilitates getting around."

Coastal Cotter | Sunset Patios + Pet Friendly!

8/10 Good

"Great location to the jetties or marina/restaurants. Home was clean and pretty modern. Overall not bad.Could use weedeating before guests.Furniture is a bit worn. Our guest bedroom bed kinda had the taco shape and a good squeak but not uncomfortable. Kitchen has nice appliances and is nice for a big family. Fyi. Bring ALL spices, cooking spray, foil etc. that you need. Zero spices/Salt and pepper is not even provided. No can opener either. Outside gas grill works but its the smallest and most economical unit you can find so a bit challenging. Again, outdoor furniture is pretty worn.Overall its not a bad home its just run by a management company so it lacks the attention to detail that owners typically provide. We enjoyed our stay"
