Perfect house for our family of 7 in the best neighborhood!!!! Very pleased with the indoor & outdoor living spaces, cleanliness, extras for the kids, neighborhood pool, & location.

Our Family does one major beach trip to Port A once a year. We have rented other homes in town, but never outside of town. And when I say "outside of town" I use this phrase lightly. It is actually the perfect distance. The area was quiet, rast access to beach, home was super clean,and driveway is massive. We will rent this home again. We were Super Happy wit this choice.

Our family of 4 enjoyed this house. Great location relative to the beach and restaurants. Clean, well supplied, all streaming options available. Easy to have another family. I recommend this house.

This super cute beach house had all the necessities and a little extra. It was nicely decorated with comfy beds and spacious bathrooms. The hammock chairs were perfect for hanging out with a good book after a fun day at the beach.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. It was our first trip to Port Aransas and we loved the house. It had everything we needed and more than enough room for our family of four. The kids loved the air hockey and it was an easy walk to the beach from the house. Everyone was comfortable and the house was clean and beautiful. We would definitely stay here again!!

I was highly impressed with this property! The pictures didn’t do it justice! Everything was immaculate and clean! Check in was very easy. They even had cute sunglasses in case you forgot yours! The air hockey table was a hit for the kids! With 6 of us, we didn’t feel cramped or on top of each other because everything was spaced out well. We will definitely return to The Good Life! You will be missing out if you don’t stay here!!

The house is clean, well maintained and everything you would need for a comfortable stay is on property. The rooms are large and each has a bathroom. The house has two masters and another large room with 4 beds, so it accommodates 6-8 people easily. Each room has a TV and the room with 4 beds also has an air hockey table. The house is a few feet away from the pool and a short walk to access a boardwalk to the beach. The Palmilla Resort, which has a 9-hole golf course and a couple of dining options is a 2 minute drive in one direction and Cinnamon Shores, which also has a couple of dining options, is a 2 minute drive in another direction. We did not rent a golf cart and were happy with that decision.

The house is perfect- great location, well maintained, spacious. The porches, chairs, basketball goal made for a great outdoor space. Rent a golf cart. The wifi/ internet was a little unreliable- if I had been trying to work remotely, that would have been frustrating. Highly recommend this property.

This was our second summer in a row staying at The Good Life beach house. Love the location, cozy beds, lots of towels and pillows, great deck, kitchen has everything you need, kids love the bunk room and air hockey... we love it here!

Access to the beach as well as the community pool is great. House was nice and clean, with many amenities. It can accommodate a family of 5-6 nicely, but common living area could be a bit tight for more than 6 people , especially if all adults.

This is a great house to stay at when exploring Port A or Corpus. The bedrooms and bathrooms were large. The neighborhood has a private boardwalk to the beach which is walkable, but I'd recommend renting a golf cart. (several companies on the island will deliver)
5.0
My family and I highly recommend The Good Life. Check in was EASY. The home was very accommodating for our family of 7. Well stocked kitchen with all of the spices a gourmet chef would require. Although it is a short walk to the beach, we rented a golf cart from Paradise Rentals. (Whom we also recommend) Would definitely rent this home again in the future.

From a cute little bowl of complimentary sunglasses, to air hockey, to swing hammocks on the porch…this house was perfect for our family! Thanks :))

"The Good Life" was the perfect house for our annual Port A trip. Not too big, not too was just right! The house was clean and well stocked. Plenty of parking. Beds were comfortable. We had a minor plumbing issue on day one, but the management company was on top of it almost immediately and had the issue resolved in less than an hour. Excellent service! The only irritation came from the climate control being on a timer and automatically changed at certain times of day. Guests are locked out from adjusting the program. I don't need an icebox, but as a hot sleeper, this was an issue at night. Otherwise, great house, great location, great value!

This home is perfect for a family getaway! We stayed for 3 nights and can’t wait to return. The home was perfect in every way...super clean, fully stocked, updated, and just beautiful. You can definitely tell the owners value their guests experience. Quick walk to the beach and a binder with all the local places you would ever need from resultants to golf cart rentals. We took advantage of the dolphin tour, parasailing, and rented a golf cart to get around. Neighborhood was safe and quiet, kids loved the provided beach toys, basketball hoop and the air hockey table. There was a clean grill, stocked kitchen with spices and seasonings, cleaning supplies the whole nine plus the outdoor shower that certainly came in handy after the beach. The home and decor were immaculate with awesome picture spots all over the place. Check In/Out was a breeze. Thanks for making our annual family trip the best one yet...we seriously can’t wait to return!!!!!

We've stayed at many beach houses and communities... this one beats them all. The home was the perfect size for our family of 4 kids, dog, mom and dad! The community is quite (major plus) compared to the tourist jammed resorts nearby. Walk to the beach is short and enjoyable (due to the community). We are already planning our return.

Beautiful home!
The Good Life was exactly that! This home had everything we needed and more!! It was beautifully appointed and very well equipped.
The photos were helpful and the home was as represented.
As stated in previous reviews, the living area was a bit small for our family to comfortably relax together at the end of the day. If your group likes to be outside it has plenty of additional space. We would definitely it rent again.

We had an amazing trip to Port A and the house was perfect for our family. The boys loved playing basketball and we really appreciated all the extra beach supplies. We also enjoyed the close proximity to the beach access for driving our Jeep on the beach. Look forward to coming back soon!

We’re Coming Back!
We rented this property for a family get together during SandFest. We came to this event for many years. The reason for this trip was for our adult daughter and son and us to spend time together before the daughter moves to Germany.
The rental exceeded our expectations. The master bed is the most comfortable my wife and I have ever slept on. Our kids loved having their own bathrooms. The kitchen is well equipped and roomy enough for two people to work easily. The management company responded quickly for a very minor issue.
The beach is a short trip over a boardwalk. Neighbors are friendly and it’s quiet at night.
Halfway through our four day stay, my wife announced that THIS is the home we are coming back to.
All in all, a perfect time.

A pleasant treat
This home was a perfect fit for us on our recent stay for 3 nights. Very clean and beautifully decorated. Kitchen was well stocked. Beds were very comfortble. A big plus was having a private bath for each of the 3 bedrooms.! The only thing that could be improved would be the living area---it was a somewhat cramped.

This is our third stay at The Good Life. We come often to Port Aransas and have stayed in many of the homes in Mustang Royale and Port Royale. We always try to book this house whenever it is available because it's our favorite! We love the neighborhood and the house is in a great location - just down from the pool and a short walk to the dune crossover to the beach. The home is perfect for our family. The owners have added so many nice touches and conveniences. For example, the cabinet is full of spices and the kitchen has all the utensils and pots and pans that you will need. We tend to cook in as the restaurants are PACKED and the waits are long during the high season, so having a stocked kitchen is appreciated. My kids love the bunk room, the basketball goal, porch swings and foosball table. We love that the owners allow pets! If this house is available and you are able to stay here, I recommend grabbing it! If you don't, someone else will.

We absolutely loved our stay at the beach house! Everything was so perfect! They thought of everything! Games, books, lots of much needed supplies as well as plenty of seating outside and on the balcony! The driveway is big enough for vehicles and golf cart with room for the kids to play games! And so close to the beach!

Great Beach House
We had a really great vacation❣️ We really loved the house and very kid friendly with basketball, air hockey, few minutes walk to the beach and close to the community pool. The home was very clean, comfortable and roomy. Kids could be entertained inside or outside while the adults enjoyed quiet time downstairs or on the hammock chairs on upper deck.
Only downside, 2 trash bags supplied for 8 people and 3 nights and 4 days and no laundry soap available First house we’ve stayed in without those items. When reservation was made the golf cart was in the description but it was not available for use. Guests who wrote in the guest book just a month before commented on the use of the golf cart.
All in all it was such a beautiful house and a great place to stay. We hope to come stay again.

Great place! Even took our pets; they did great! Next time we will rent a golf cart to haul everything to the beach on. The walk was not far but had a lot to carry.

Comfortable House - good location
Hi there, we were very satisfied with the house, and our overall experience. The walk to the beach really only takes 5 minutes, so you don't need to drive there. The hammocks on the 2nd floor balcony are a great way to catch a nice breeze and chill out. The bedrooms are all very comfortable - the big master upstairs is lovely! This house is good for people who are not looking for a huge swimming pool - because the neighborhood pool is pretty modest. But we swam in the ocean so we were perfectly satisfied. I'd definitely recommend this place to others.
