If only I could I would give 0 or negative stars
Vacasa company is very hard to work with. To get a response takes at least 24 hours
About the house: the house is not a big family friendly despite its huge size. We were denied to provide a basic necessities like tea pot etc. all dishes in a bad condition, pots and pans are very small. Not enough of plates even thou we provided the amount of people that will be staying.
House has ants. Which is disgusting. On the next morning after moving in we found ants in every single bag of food.
Floors were dirty when we moved in
The house has a lot of sleeping space but not enough of sheets pillows and blankets. So make sure to bring all your bedding across states to feel comfortable.
Will never book this house or any houses under Vacasa management company!
Hope you all have a better luck!

Clean, well appointed with some defects in kitchen appliances, and not much of basic amenities (pepper, salt etc.)
2.0 / 5.0
It was a very frustrating family vacation. 13 of us planned on having a great time in Port Aransas only to find that we had to pick up trash, clean dirty dishes, vacuum, and buy extra groceries because the oven was broken, which the rental owners knew about and failed to let us know, We have loved Port A for over 50 years and have rented from TONS of places over the years there and have NEVER had a problem until now. We will not ever use VACASA rental agency again which I didn't know was a part of VRBO.
4.0 / 5.0
Overall our stay was nice. Very lovely people around that area. Would love to stay their again.
5.0 / 5.0
Everything was very nice. The only suggestion is for the neighborhood to spray those marshes more for mosquitos... They were very very bad around the house.. On the beach they were not bad.. only around that house and that marsh in the back.
5.0 / 5.0
Overall the house was great and has basic utensils that will get you through most cooking needs. Plenty of space for our group... we had 13 with a mix of adults, teens and the youngest being 8yo. Beds are comfortable but the fold out is your typical fold out, not comfortable. The kids were fine on the fold out but it would not be good for adults. Overall we had a great time and would rent again.
4.0 / 5.0
Definitely a house to add to your list of possibilities.
3.0 / 5.0
Overall the house was good. It was clean when we arrived. Some of the issues we had were roaches and not enough paper goods or silverware such as toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, forks, etc. for a large group staying for 5 days. I did report the roaches and was told that they would take care of that.
Also, the pull out bed on the bottom floor did not work. It was bent and nothing more than springs covered with material. The showers were ok but did not have much water pressure and we were not able to use the gas grill as it had no propane.
The large dining room table was nice and the location was good. Not a clear view of the beach but with a golf cart, it was easily accessible. It was a nice quiet neighborhood with nice pools.
Other than these few minor inconsistencies, we had a nice time with the family and made some great memories!
5.0 / 5.0
This house was perfect! Beautiful property, soooo close to the beach, great neighborhood, online pictures were accurate. My one complaint is that we didn’t get a valid check in code. The morning of I got the check in email that was supposed to give us the code and it listed as N/A instead of a code. I immediately called for the code so I didn’t have to deal with it when we got there and got a code. When we arrived it didn’t work so I still had to call and figure it out with customer service while holding a fussy toddler that needed to be changed so that wasn’t ideal. They did fix the problem though and the hold time wasn’t horrible but it should’ve been avoided. Other than that everything was good and the house was absolutely beautiful. Comfortable beds, large functional kitchen and tons of space. Floors felt a bit dirty/sandy but honestly that’s almost unavoidable at the beach. Everything else was very clean.
