  We had 11 people, and it was plenty of room. There was a BBQ pit, even though they said there wasn't. You can fit 5 cars in the driveway easily. The porch speakers didn't work, but I managed to get one to work.

  Since we booked late, I feared that we might not find the perfect getaway home for the holidays, but this house was pretty close to perfect. Very roomy with a separate apartment downstairs. Very clean with a nice ocean view. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook Thanksgiving dinner. Truly a great escape.

  This was the perfect place for an adult family reunion. Plenty of room and great amenities. Although a distance from the marina and hub of Port A, it was very accessible and the beach nice and almost private. Loved our stay!

  Very pleased. We had 7 adults and 3 small children and the accommodations fit us well. Access to beach was very convenient. Unit has some minor maintenance needs that were reported. Property managers were very helpful and responsive. Recommend the owner provide wi-fi.

  a guest from McKinney, TX recommends this vacation rental

  We had a 3 family gathering this summer and everyone had a great time. The house has a 2 bedroom mother-in-law suite downstairs that makes for a good late night hang out room without waking up the rest of the house. The proximity to the beach and local access-way was fantastic. My only gripe was the lack of a BBQ. We made the 8 mile trip into town to buy one ultimately...

  Chris J from Rldridge, IA recommends this vacation rental

  Overall a great home. The house has plenty of space and was great for entertaining. The staff was very helpful. Just a few minor repairs and this would be a stellar house. I think the maitenance man needs to fix small repairs (ie: window blinds, light bulbs out, screen doors hard to open due to sand and salt, etc.) Like I said minor things, overall a great house and location. Will be on the top of my list for rental homes next time I go there with my family. Port Aransas is exactly the type of area I plan on retiring in. People are very laid back and freindly.

  We stayed at the house for two days. The location is great. less than 2 minutes walk to the beach. Since we have kids younger then six years old, that is very important to us. Lots of seating area in the living room and huge deck is a plus. The only compliant that I have would be the AC unit. You can not turn it lower than 75, or the unit will freeze(That is what we have been told). so it is uncomfortable during the day since you can't cool down the house. Other than that, it is great.

  a guest from Kyle, Tx recommends this vacation rental

  Our group was made up of 4 families--myself and my husband; my sister, her husband, and small kids; my other sister; and my parents.
  
  We appreciated the proximity to the beach and the views. We also loved the outdoor deck, which we enjoyed taking in the ocean breezes every evening. It was very relaxing! :) Having that much space available to us was great, and the layout of the home was nice. There were plenty of towels available too.
  
  Things we didn't like as much:
  -Pictures show there is a grill on the property. Please note there is NOT one.
  -A lot of the outdoor furniture is in very, very poor condition; some of it unusable entirely. We had to prop some of the plastic Adirondack chairs up against the wall when we sat in them to prevent them from cracking any further and dropping us.
  -A lot of things were broken: the sliding blinds in the living room were missing most of their slats, the mirror in the turquoise room was cracked, etc. But I guess that isn't entirely unusual for a rental property.
  -We found there were a LOT of mosquitoes in the area. The day we arrived, there were 4 or 5 of them on each of us at a time as soon as we got out of our cars! Once the breezes kicked in the next day, and the temperatures warmed up, it improved a lot. But just be sure to bring bug spray, especially walking around the boardwalk area...
  -Dishes were interesting. The downstairs kitchenette had no silverware at all, and only a couple of wine glasses. There were, however, plenty of plates. You might do better to bring your own plasticware and cups. Also note there were NO paper towels provided at all, and only 1 roll of toilet paper per bathroom, so we had to get the rest ourselves. For $500+ a night, we kind of felt like these things should be included.
  
  Overall, we had a great time, and we would likely stay again. :)

  The house was great. We had one major problem. Home maintenance, driveway work, sprinkler installation were all going on during our stay ruining several days of fishing plans. We still don't really know who to blame for all the trouble this caused but to the management's credit, they worked to make things right and we appreciated that.

  a guest from Cypress, Tx recommends this vacation rental

  The Pelican's Place property is a very nice house with enough space for all 11 people in our party. My main issue is the fact that the television was out in the "apartment" downstairs. We had originally decided on another property but switched to this one after speaking with Patrick. I specifically asked about the number of television in the home and whether or not they have cable/satellite. I know this is not normally a concern on a beach vacation but we had two children under 8 and 3 men who wanted to watch the playoffs and my mother who was scheduled for knee surgery the next day and would not be doing alot of walking. My parents and another adult friend were downstairs in the apartment which has no indoor access to the main floor. Upon arrival there was a note saying this tv was out because of a lightning strike. It could be used for DVD only. This is information that would have been helpful upon booking especially since I specifically asked about tv. This made for a very unhappy mom. Additionally, the dumpster is quite some distance from the property. A place a little closer would be nice. Also, I asked, when booking, about the distance to the beach. It is a short walk but I was told that I would walk out the back door go 5 feet around the house and there would be the boardwalk. Now that does seem true for some other houses on the property but not for this one. Overall, we did enjoy the house but I felt I had been told a few things that were not quite true....
