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.

If I pay you to hire the home photographer, do I own the photos and can I use them in the future? Can I have a receipt from 3rd party vendors you are paying on my behalf? Are my profits reduced by any additional costs or fees that you incur in the operation of your business? Can you modify the nightly rate between weekends and weekdays to encourage weekday rentals at a reduced rate? Can you guarantee that our property will be available every unoccupied day of the rental period and not be listed as unavailable due to staff shortages or unavailability of cleaning crews? Are your house cleaning crews licensed and bonded and has anyone ever reported an issue with the conduct of your house cleaning crew while at their house. Do you record telephone conversations and meetings? Do your homework and understand that, in my opinion, the owner of Yknot Realty, operates her business with the intent to profit from the use of the owner's property without regard for achieving maximum income for the owners. Additionally, in my opinion, attempted to use her large physical stature and a raised voice to intimidate me when questioned.

If I could give this place a zero star I would. We rented a property and the deposit was held. When…read moreI contacted them to inquire about the deposit I was told by who I am assuming was the manager (Malynda) that they typically do not encounter this with the property because of the caliber of clientele they typically rent too. I agreed with some of the charges but not all. It took over 30 days to get an itemized statement (which is required by the property code). They changed the rules on the posting for the property after I kept asking for the itemized statement. If you have another option rent through someone else. They have a tendency to rate properties to a specific clientele.

Cotter Port Aransas, Texas 78373 800-45-COAST (361) 749-5919 Attention Chamber of Comerce & BBB members: To whom it may concern; I would like to report a dishonest rental company/BeeGees Coastal Quarters. This is my complaint: The other reviews on Yelp are correct about this property manager BeeGee not being honest & giving deposits back. My hubby & I stayed with BeeGee over a week Thanksgiving holiday 2014 & we had a lovely time. We ALWAYS bring our OWN linens & towels we NEVER use ANYONE else's. Hotel, condo or otherwise. She told us bc we were so neat she would give us a great deal on our XMAS vacation rental with her & she would wave the cleaning fee bc we use our own linens & are neat freaks. She said she would just transfer the deposit over to the new XMAS reservations. We made the XMAS reservations, she held the deposit over & we went for XMAS 2014/New Years 2015. We left the house spotless. We NEVER received any deposits back of any kind. I phoned her a few weeks back to ask her about it & inquire about reservations for another holiday & I was informed our deposit would be double & still no refund on either of the rentals from Last year. We have now found a new rental company (Palm Bay rentals/pipalmbay.com) that is much better & a whole lot more honest.
