    Rat poop found in my kitchen cabinets and dishes

    RATS!! I stayed there this weekend and Saturday night we saw rats running across our newborns play mat. We contacted maintenance and he said he doesn't deal with that and did not have another number we could call for help. It was midnight so we couldn't wake our 5,3, and 3month old to leave. We googled what to do and emptied the trash and food out of the room. We were so grossed out and found rat poop in the dishes as we cleaned. We were up so late and exhausted. As we emptied the trash we found a black rat trap outside. The next morning my husband went to the front office and spoke with Amy and said we saw rats in the room. We expected a hearty, I'm so sorry! She simply said "oh I haven't heard that. Ok. Did you fill up your gas in the golf cart?" I was so surprised when my husband told me of their lack of attention. So I went to speak with Amy and she very aggressively said, "I already did my job, you can call to speak with Josh". So today I called Josh. Expecting better. I began telling my story. When I got to the part about the black rat trap outside, he said"I'm going to stop you, we have those all over the property." I said "oh, so you know you have a rat issue? Are they in all the rooms?" Please keep in mind you cannot hear my tone. I did not say this aggressively. And he went off saying I am accusing him of having rats and knowing about it. I can barely get two words in during his aggressive rant. I have to ask this manger to let me speak. Does anyone understand customer service anymore? I have to beg him to let me speak. I APOLOGIZED. How ironic is that? I said I am so sorry, my question was trying to understand if this is an issue in all the rooms. As you spoke I understand that this is preventative measures and instead of basically yelling at me, you could have simply stated that. I expressed to him that going here has been a beloved family tradition for many years and my young kids LOVE it there. We go twice a year religiously and have loved it. However, with a very sad heart, we have decided to not go back. If there are ANY issues, they won't be met with kindness and customer service. Which is all I was looking for. People have died from uncleanliness due to rats in hotels and as a mom of 3, I expected better customer service. At least an I'm sorry, well look into it? I was basically yelled at. Maybe I'm crazy for expecting there not to be rats in my room or to have better customer service. But this was my experience. I would advise you to check your dishes for rat droppings when you stay here.

    Cottage.

    To start, I like the Seashell Village Resort. On this visit, we stayed in one of the detached cottages, so that's what this review will be of. The Seashell Village has some highs and some lows, bit overall I really enjoyed my stay here. I would stay again if I wanted to stay in the middle of Port Aransas again. Here's the scoop: Highs: -The cottages! The cottages are like big studio apartments. There's a small full kitchen, table, couch, queen bed, and a bathroom. You don't share any walls, so you don't have to worry about noisy neighbors. I liked having our own little beach house. -Each cottage has its own reserved parking spot. The spots are big and can accommodate a full size crew cab pick up truck easily (it was what we drove into town). They are even big enough to do super easy parallel parking if needed. No stress, no matter what time you are getting back to your place for the night. -Easy check in! The office to check in is open until 5pm. Of course the day we were checking in we got stuck in a long ferry queue, so we ended up arriving at 5:07pm. The office was closed, but they had labeled envelopes waiting for everyone who hadn't checked in by 5pm. The envelope had keys and info for the hotel and had instructions on how to check in the following day. It's nice to have this option, especially if they ferry is running a long wait. -You can walk to the beach from the hotel! Like an easy walk for a lazy person distance. Yep, I'm lazy and proud of it! -It's in the center of town, so it's very easy to walk to many places for meals or shopping. -They have free wifi! -Very reasonably priced. We went during their off season in December. We got the cottage for about $80 a night. We got this price booking directly through them on their website. Lows: -The cottage we stayed in could use some TLC. Some of the paint was peeling off in big pieces from the ceiling. The floors were very uneven and even a bit wobbly and would make you lose your balance. The outside paint also could use a new coat. The cottage was just showing it's age in an uncharming way. -The ceiling fan was so noisy. I sleep with a fan every night just to keep the air moving. We had to turn the fan off because it made a lot of racket. -The wifi was not constant. It worked great when one person was on, but if there were 2 or more in the room trying to access wifi, sometimes it would start dropping. -The sleeper sofa was AWFUL. First, as a couch it was very uncomfortable to sit on. The pull out bed was scary. It was ok for my 42lb kid, but I wouldn't put anyone much heavier on it. First, it had a very severe V bend in it. No matter where you would start, you would roll right into the middle of the V. I sat on the side of the bed to read some bedtime stories to my kiddo and I felt like the bed was going to break. I mean I do enjoy food and I'm not a size 2, but I am also not that big (I hope), but I felt like I was going to break the bed. Even with the few hiccups, I would stay here again. I would also recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay close to the beach and in the center of town.

    We stated four nights, Sunday through Thursday. We had reserved a regular bedroom space with microwave and compact refrigerator. They also had full kitchen suites, but we weren't going to cook. When we arrived, the clerk said our room was on the third floor, a walk-up. She offered us the full kitchen suite on the second floor for no additional charge. Ah, the off-season. There is a living/kitchen area with sleeper sofa, table with two chairs, full-size refrigerator, stove, microwave, pots and pans and plates, glasses, utensils for at least six people. And a flat-screen TV mounted on the wall. Keep walking straight ahead to the bedroom/bath area. Two Queen beds. An armoire, closet with hangars, dresser, nightstand between the beds with clock radio. Another flat screen TV is on the dresser. The bathroom is kind of small with no countertop space to place your cosmetics. I used the window sill. Worked OK. There is a cabinet above the toilet stocked with extra toilet paper and towels. The tub is your usual motel tub. Plenty of electrical outlets throughout the two rooms. Housekeeping was interesting. When we checked in, we were told they would remove the trash daily. If we wanted more towels or to make the beds, we had to ask. Likewise for fresh linens, you had to ask. Well, Monday and Tuesday, the beds were made, trash removed and fresh towels left without us asking. Then Wednesday, no one came by at all for anything. I mentioned this when we checked out on Thursday. We were told the housekeeper had to leave early and didn't get to us. Oh well. I think we would still consider staying here again.

    Seashell Village Resort also manages Gulf beach cottages. They have nice rooms (Queen suite) and cozy cottages with a very nice staff. Close to the beach bout 5 to 7 min walk. I really like this place .Only down fall is there housekeeping isn't up to par.Example if you walk around your room barefooted your feet turn black in a matter of seconds. Also meldew on the shower curtain. Then when its time to hit the hay you pull the sheets back to find hair in your bed. It's really a shame because the rooms and most of the cottages are newly renovated. They need new house keeping!! I've stayed here twice and both times I've had the same problem. I like this place enough to give it four stars. Because the front desk staff are very nice friendly and handled the hair situation pretty quickly. I'm really really hoping they get better housekeeping :/

Check-in was simple and easy, and upon entering our first-floor room (1109), the room smelled fresh and clean. During our inspection of the bedding, we noticed a boot print and some yellow stains on the top blanket. There were also a few stains on the towels. Fortunately, this was not a major issue for us since we brought our own sheets and towels. The fitted sheets on both beds appeared new and clean. The bathroom itself was clean, and the barn-style door added a cute aesthetic touch, although it seemed more decorative than functional and did not provide much privacy. The room lighting was excellent, with recessed can lights throughout the space that gave it a bright and modern feel. One inconvenience was that the room did not initially include the microwave listed in the room description. However, after contacting the front office, the staff was very friendly and accommodating and delivered one the following day. At night, the exterior lighting around the property was extremely bright and shined through the edges of the curtains, making it difficult to sleep. We ended up placing towels around the curtain edges to block out the light. The pool area was clean and well maintained, with a depth reaching 6 feet. The location directly on the beach was definitely one of the highlights of the stay.

    Tremendous customer service, beautiful views! Staff is super friendly and it's budget friendly.read more

Wires cords and unfinished electrical items everywhere. Sharp dangerous tile and drain in shower. Inadequately stocked kitchen. Water damaged walls. Old dated fixtures appliances outlets and switches yellowed with age. Sparse decor most very dated. Uncomfortable beds that are very tall. Should have a step. I have never seen a bed that tall. The large tacky night stands were very tiny and too short next to the large tacky beds. Roaches outside everywhere. The only good part of the trip was the pool but there are many better places to stay that are worth the cost that also have nice pools.

We needed an escape from the house after months of quarantining but didn't want to go somewhere jam packed with people, you know, doing that whole social distancing thing. I'm glad I found this place online. We got a nice spot that backed right up to the boat marina, though we didn't catch many fish in that spot it did make for a nice view. I liked how quiet the entire area was and how well kept the grounds were. Plenty of grassy areas for the dogs to walk and there were a couple poop stations that were conveniently located too. All in all, a great location and we definitely have plans to return. Thanks for the peaceful escape from our unfortunate new norm due to Covid.

You can tell they designed this place to fit as many RVs in as humanly possible to maximize profit. No privacy, no room to park your tow vehicle. Management is rude. When reserving our spot on the phone, the lady acted like she could care less if we stayed there and seemed bothered that she had to deal with me. This should have tipped me off that we should stay elsewhere. On our last morning, we get a loud pounding on our camper door. An employee rudely informs us that I was speeding through the parking area. First off, The speed limit he informed me is 7mph. The parking area is rutted and very bumpy. Going any faster would be incredibly uncomfortable. High points... there is a lighted fishing pier. It's only large enough for a few people though, so good luck getting on there if it's busy. We won't be back.
