Longing for surf and sand, we scheduled a long weekend in Port Aransas and found a fantastic house within 5 minutes of the beach. "Villa 4 Rita" is dog friendly and can sleep a total of eight. The setup includes two bedrooms, one with a queen bed and the other with twin beds. An open loft sleeps 4 but it has a low ceiling and the stairs are treacherous. Melissa made our trip fantastic. We got her take on restaurants and took her up on a few of her suggestions. Check in and check out were as easy as the beach breeze.

If you have ever done a search for a house in Port Aransas, then you've stumbled on the only search…read morefriendly website - www.stayinporta.com Julian & Melissa Sergeant are the owners/operators of this somewhat small business. Not only is there website the most friendly, so are their prices. They never charge hidden fees and they carry mostly mid-range properties. They provide two tabs for dishwasher, a small dish soap, at least two toilet paper rolls, a trash bag, and all of the linens (towels, too). You bring additional of the other if needed - but this is a small price to pay for NO FEES. Getting your key is as easy as stopping by their office (located near the ferry landing). If you arrive after 4pm, there's a drop box and you can pay on your way out. You must put down 1 night deposit (you can use credit card online) and pay full amount when you arrive, but they only accept checks, money orders and cashiers checks up to 2 weeks prior to your stay. Upon arrival you can pay with credit card (although it's very courteous to pay with debit) or cashier's check. We once had several houses booked for a large party so I made sure to bring a cashier's check to avoid the fees. There are very few properties I've not completely loved in the last 5 years of booking with them. If you want an honest opinion about a property - hit me up and I will let you know. TIP: Hang on to your keys - only fees are for lost keys!

The ac was a known issue , but nobody ever went to check if the ac had been repaired. They then sent us to another house. This house had dead roaches on the floor and live roaches in the cabinets . The weekend was a bust , due lack of management . The house I rented originally was on the water with a pier. Grandson was excited to walk out the back patio and fish all night. Total disappointment. All I received was "I'm Sorry" . I don't want to mention the houses and ruin future rentals for the owners but I would definitely find a different management company . DO BETTER MISS KITTY

We booked a last minute cacelation on Memorial day weekend. The transaction was quick and the rental agreement was emailed with access codes for entry. After driving for hours with the kiddos, we arrived around lunch time. Our cottage was beautiful... perfect in fact. The theme was "Endless Summer" and was wonderfuly decorated in a beach theme. Our unit had a queen bed and a pull out couch and kitchen. Our inlaws were in the unit behind us and lets the kids stay in their extra room... which allowed for a romantic weekend alone. Restaruants, fishing and parks are all in walking distance. Hands down one of the best vacations I had. If you are ever in the Rockport area give Lisa a call and stay in one of her 5 cottages... sit on the beach... feet in the sand... sun on your face... and thank me later.

Cinnamon Shore is a beautiful property with wonderful amenities and a family-friendly atmosphere…read more The beach access, pools, and overall community are what keep us coming back. La La Land was a gorgeous home and we would definitely stay at this unit again. Unfortunately, our most recent stay included several service and maintenance issues that impacted the experience. While the staff was courteous, response times were challenging when problems arose. The most significant issue occurred on our final night when multiple fire alarms sounded in our unit for an extended period of time while we were traveling with an infant and toddler. Because maintenance was not immediately available on-site, it took quite some time to resolve the situation. I truly believe our experience would have been very different had maintenance personnel been available on the property to respond more quickly to urgent issues. For a resort of this size and caliber, having faster on-site maintenance support would greatly improve the guest experience and help prevent minor issues from becoming major disruptions. Cinnamon Shore has so much potential to provide an exceptional vacation experience, and I hope management continues investing in the operational side of the resort to match the beauty of the property itself.

Absolutely horrible experience. I've been coming here since 2009 and have always loved staying…read morehere, but things have completely gone downhill. My family owned a home here for over 10 years, and honestly, after this experience, I'm relieved we no longer do. It's disgusting to see how loyal residents and vacationers are treated now. Cinnamon Shore seems to think they can do whatever they want and treat people like second-class citizens. To make matters worse, the house we stayed in had cockroaches, which was already unacceptable considering the cost of staying here. Larry and Juan from courtesy patrol then approached and harassed my family over an investigation that none of us were involved in. During the interaction, they were taking photos of me and my family, which made us extremely uncomfortable. When I confronted them about it, Larry responded with, "You're not that sweet, sweetheart," before they became even more disrespectful and unprofessional, eventually calling me and my sister "f***ing ret*rds." What makes this even more disturbing is that I have the entire interaction recorded. I have special needs family members, so hearing that kind of language was beyond offensive and unacceptable. No guest, resident, or homeowner should ever be treated this way, especially by staff or security personnel who are supposed to make people feel safe. After being a loyal guest and homeowner family since 2009, I am honestly shocked and disgusted by the level of harassment, disrespect, and overall experience my family had.

This was our first stay at Mustang Towers and we had a beautiful condo with a beautiful view!…read moreOverall, I give it a 4.5. We definitely plan on returning and booking the same unit on a future trip to Port A! It was just my wife and I, but the condo was three bedroom and sleeps eight. Given that the units are individually owned and decorated, I suspect there are greatly different experiences, so check out the pictures. I think the building is from the 80s and it shows its age a bit, but we spent our time either inside our condo or on the beach, so it wasn't a detractor. That being said, the fact that one of the two elevators was out of service, and the operating elevator had a sign in it saying that it sometimes gets stuck was disconcerting, to say the least! Thankfully, we didn't get stuck! The boardwalk to the beach is nice and it's not too far a walk. The beach is the beach, so awesome! Although we didn't use the pool, it looked very nice. I called the office a couple of times before and during our trip, and the person I talked to was always friendly and professional. We had a reservation for the same condo in August, but had to cancel at the last minute because my wife got Covid! Fortunately, I purchased the trip cancellation insurance. We filed a claim and got our money back, but dealing with the insurance company was not easy and it took almost a month to get our refund.
