Very nice and clean property with great activities - we enjoyed painting a wine night! The pool is large and extremely clean. Proximity to beach can't be beat! The other guests were kind and friendly. Bad - underwhelming indoor accommodations for the cost. Bedside lights don't exist. Though the website list a "kitchen" in which to cook meals and all needed cooking instruments, our room had no stove or grilling utensils or pans to take our meals to use the grills. No places to hang bathing suits or towels. Again, for what we paid, we were a bit disappointed. Overall, we had a nice escape from the heat, humidity, and rat race of Houston. Certainly a much better experience than the negative reviews.

We now refuse to stay anywhere else in Port A! Casa Bendita is incredibly clean (&I have high standards with cleanliness!), beautiful big kitchen with every utensil/dish/cup you'll ever need, comfortable beds and cozy bedrooms (all have TVs!), washer & dryer (with detergent, etc. provided!), plenty of parking, beautiful pool with lovely outdoor area and a FULL bathroom off of the pool (genius!), gated porch to keep the kiddos safe from the stairs (in addition to plenty of kid friendly items, games, etc.), quick walk or drive to the beach & into town, and the owners and host are the best -- always been so responsive and accommodating... the list of reasons why we love Casa Bendita is endless!

I wrote it with a…read moregenuine, appreciative tone that highlights both the place and your experience with your son: We had a wonderful stay at La Mirage Condos in Port Aransas. My son and I stayed here last week, and it was exactly what we needed -- peaceful, comfortable, and right on the beach. The condo was clean, well maintained, and thoughtfully set up, making it easy to settle in and actually relax. Being able to walk straight onto the beach was such a gift as was the heated pool & hot tub. The grounds are beautifully kept, and everything felt calm, safe, and family-friendly. The location is perfect -- close enough to restaurants and town to be convenient, but far enough away to feel quiet and restorative. It was the kind of place where you can truly unplug, breathe, and enjoy quality time together. We left feeling rested and grateful, and I would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend La Mirage for anyone looking for a beach stay in Port Aransas

They also accused me of returning the keys the following morning. Why would I return when I'm trying to celebrate our child's birthday at a completely different place? There was a ring doorbell camera that would show the time of arriving and returning the keys the same hour. The fact that they have accused me of this is disgusting. These false accusations were made on their end and given to my bank as part of their rebuttal. If you book here and have issues, you won't get your money back.

Although it had WiFi, I loved that it did not have a television as I caught up on some reading (I had an iPad and headphones for hubby to watch Netflix ).

My family, including a service member and an immunocompromised 8-year-old recovering from stage 4…read morecancer, booked a 3-night stay for $3,600 using the website's pet-friendly filter. The property description gave zero indication that it was not pet-friendly. At no point during the search, booking, contract signing, or leading up to our stay was there any suggestion that pets were prohibited. Our pet is an FHA-certified service animal, legally protected under the Fair Housing Act (FHA), meaning we are not required to notify the property or pay any fee for its presence. Notification would have been a courtesy, not a legal obligation. Our stay became a nightmare when management attempted to illegally evict us from midnight to 2 a.m., claiming our service animal breached the contract. This was baseless, given the pet-friendly listing, and a direct violation of federal law, as service animals are exempt from pet restrictions. The harassment was relentless, waking our children, including an infant and our immunocompromised 8-year-old, causing significant distress. Management showed zero ability to de-escalate or handle the situation professionally. Initially, management tried to force us to move to a neighboring house that stunningly reeked of cigarettes, an unacceptable and health-threatening environment, especially for our immunocompromised child. When we refused, they offered a second "accommodation" at one-third the rental cost we paid--a filthy property infested with cockroaches and fire ants, grossly understocked, and unfit for habitation. We requested police assistance to clarify our rights, but the responding officers were shockingly incompetent, admitting they were "irritated to be called out." Instead of upholding the law, they threatened to arrest us if we didn't pack up and leave, despite this being an illegal eviction attempt without formal notice or court process. Management's excuse? The owner's child was "highly allergic to dogs." This raises the question: what would have changed between 2 a.m. and 9 a.m. the next morning? This justification was flimsy and irrelevant, given the property's pet-friendly marketing. Exhausted and traumatized, we checked out early after recovering some rest. The entire experience was unconscionable, marked by tactless, selfish owners and utterly inept property management who endangered our family's health and safety, particularly our immunocompromised child. We are demanding a full refund of the $3,600 due to the illegal eviction attempt, FHA violation, and uninhabitable conditions. I urgently warn others, especially those with service animals, pets, or vulnerable family members, to avoid Sunflower Beach Resorts and Residences at all costs. The owners and management's disregard for federal law, guest safety, and basic hospitality is deplorable. Save yourself the trauma and book elsewhere.
