  We spend the Christmas holidays with all our family at this cozy house on the island. 4 adults and three children. It was perfect and very roomy for all of us. I especially loved the large open kitchen. We all work together with the cooking so it went beautifully. It was a fun time for everyone.

  Overall our family had a wonderful stay at Royal Sands Sea Turtle beach house. The accommodations are nice, good floor plan, and the house had just about everything we needed. Only problem that was a nuisance were the ants inside the house. (I informed rental agency). The distance to the beach is fine to walk as long as you aren't carrying chairs, drink cooler, beach bag and umbrella. There are a few parking spots in the neighborhood by the boardwalk, but then there are several sets of steps to navigate up and down on the boardwalk (We paid for a beach pass and drove). Both neighborhood pools were green the entire 5 nights we were never used them. We would stay here again. My experience is that the rental agency needs to be more aware of amenities of rentals.

  The Sea Turtle was very clean and smelled clean. The kitchen had everythig we needed and the cookware was in very good condition. The bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable. While the walk to the beach was a little far (10 min walk), we would stay in this house again.

  I took my family down to port a for a weeks stay. The house we stayed in was perfect. We enjoyed it immensely. The master room, kitchen and patio were great. We vacation twice a year in Port A and we will definitely look to stay here again.

  This house appears small but was perfect size for all 10 of us. Perfectly located next to the pool and not too far from the beach. House was clean and everything worked. The entire family loved the house and we will be back!

  We stayed for 3 nights at the lovely Sea Turtle house. From the moment you walk in, you just start smiling. Nice furniture, huge TV, well stocked kitchen, beautiful bedrooms with cute linens. We used the washing machine to wash our sandy swimsuits and sprayed off our car and feet with the hose that was located near the doorway. Showers had good water pressure and althought the house is near HWY 361, did not hear the street noise. Used pool to rinse off after the beach, little bit crowded with small children and their parents. Parking was good for the three cars that stayed at the house, some houses in this area have poor parking, but not at the turtle.
  Would stay again in future. I have stayed at Port Royal, Mustang Royal, Village Walk and Coral Cay in the past and the Sea Turtle outshines all the rest.

  Jennifer B from Oakland, CA. recommends this vacation rental

  We loved our getaway and the Sea Turtle was a great part of our enjoyment. Everything was handled very well by the Port A staff. We were truly pleased with the accommodations. The only complaint we had is that the floors were a little dirty in the main living room. Not unacceptable, just a bit of build up under the couch, where our 4 year old kept losing things! But we will definitely come back for our next beach getaway... Thanks!

  This would be a great cottage for two couples with kids. There are two bedrooms downstairs, each with its own bath. The kids can all be upstairs - one room is full of bunkbeds, the other has a pull-out couch (although its mattress is almost non-existent). For those who like to cook - the kitchen is perfect. We really liked this cottage!

  The home is beautifully decorated & all the bathrooms, oven, stove, garbage disposal, T.V.'s etc... were in good working order when we arrived. My only complaints are the road noise from the highway behind the house & no Gulf or beach view. I would stay there again but for a lower rental amount, or off peak period.

  We had a wonderful time staying in Royal Sands and Port Aransas Escapes couldn't have been more helpful when making our reservation. I would definitely recommend this location (sub-division) and will stay again!

  I was disappointed with the grill that was sent over to replace the missing grill. They brought a small Weber and for 10 guests, it was a challenge to BBQ. The kitchen was stocked better than any I have ever stayed at. The appliances were great. The house is homey and comfortable and very nicely furnished. Overall, it was a great property!

  The house itself was absolutely everything a vacationer with a large family could ask for. The house is absolutely beautiful and had all the amenities needed to accomodate us in all aspects. The only complaint that we have is the pool near the house. It was not clean/maintained. The bottom was discolored and after talking with others who were staying in the subdivision and had stayed before, it appears that the pool is always this way. Other than this pool, it was a wonderful experience.

  The beach house was clean and nice. The backyard faces a major highway, so if you are not used to this type of noise it may bother you. It did not bother us. There were only one or two dish towels which was a bit inconvenient with the amount of cooking
  that we did over the weekend. In the 2nd bedroom downstairs the ceiling fan banged loudly, so we had to leave it off for the week. The nonstick pan had lost all of the coating, so it was not the best for cooking. There was nothing in the house - foil, salt,
  pepper, cooking oil...I'm not sure if this is customary for this property management company, but had I known this I would have packed differently. I rented this house because my parents have difficulties getting around due to age. The master bedroom/bath
  and kitchen are on the first floor and there is a walk in shower which was perfect for them. I would recommend this house to people needing the same accommodations. It was an added perk that it was pet friendly, so we did not have to board our dog. If I were
  staying there for the week with my husband and child, I would select a home or condo closer to the beach instead of in the back of the neighborhood. Other than my few comments above, it was a good fit for what we were looking for and I would consider renting
  the house again.

  We really enjoyed staying at the Sea Turtle over the 2009 Christmas vacation. It was in excellent condition. The only complaint we have is that there was no indication that this house was right on Hwy 361. Lots of road noise and a long way to the beach. Otherwise, it was a great find.

  Generally, this property was very nice. Advice to pass along is: Control the ants on the back porch, leave more trash bags, leave rinse aid for the dishwasher, and it would be nice to have access to the garage to store beach chairs, bikes, etc. The oven didn't heat very well and the cook top heated unevenly. Also, we had to buy hand soap for the kitchen. We would stay here again. Very nice.

• The pool on location was the biggest drawback

  The house was great. The location to the beach was a little farther than I expected with the description in online. The location to shopping and downtown was great. The pool was disappointing. We have stayed at other rental properties that had a much more upgraded pool and more little-kid friendly. We will likely choose another rental property next time just due to the pool.
