The toilet kept running. The shower is a real safety hazard. It has no grab bars, its floor is slippery. We are disabled and were afraid we would fall in the shower.

Perfect location for two adults and our dog! This is the second time we have stayed at this property and it fits our needs. Centrally located and decent space. The patio is great for morning coffee and evening reading.

Port Aransas get away.

I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Rental was perfect for the two of us and our mini Yorkie! Stay was great, neighbor hood quite and close to everything. This would have been a 5 star all the way however the screen in patio was dingy, pet hair from way past guest along the screened in wall areas at the floor and the two floor mats on that patio, I had to turn them upside side as not to get it on our pet or our shoes. I would not have been out there bare footed that's for sure. We get charge a pet charge and yet we need to deal with past guest pet hair?

These places are fantastic. We always have a great time and the location is right in the middle of everything so you have access to all the food and drinks and fun. We like them because we can bring the fur baby with no hassle.

Great location!

The property was accurate as listed. It didn’t have a laundry room or an ice maker. It also needs a bit of love-several items need attention (bed, door, couch). All work in a pinch. The location is excellent-walking distance to many restaurants, bars, shopping and attractions. We appreciated being allowed to have our dog! Very good, reasonably priced property.

Nice quiet area, close to the beach.

My husband and I enjoyed the property. Screened in porch and king size bed were a big plus, plenty of towels and linens. Kitchen is well stocked with utensils, pots and pans. Description was accurate, perfect size for two adults. We would stay again.
