We absolutely loved our stay here - it was perfect for the whole family, including the four legged member! Property management team responded fast to all our questions. I have only one negative and that is there were no dish towels in the kitchen (to dry hands and/or dishes), which is really just a me kind of thing. Both a pro and con is the distance to Port A - pro, we basically had the entire beach to ourselves; con, we had to drive 10+ miles to "do" anything in Port A (good news is we're beach people so we only made the drive once or twice). We will definitely book the property next time we have the whole gang vacationing together.

1. We had a small child and were not informed the doors didn't lock, they were aware, signs posted. 2.Severe Mold in ice maker and water dispenser. 3.Ice box leaked all over the floor. 4.Door Locks were broken
5. 1 microwave was broken. 6.One door didn’t have a handle at all on the inside. 7. Door lock code quit working and we had to call to get another code. 8.Basic things like cleaner and spare paper towels and ample dish soap, shampoo, lotion, and coffee for the coffee maker were not included like many other houses we have rented for years in Port A. 9.The beds were super uncomfortable and made so much creaking noise it woke everyone up when we got up and down. We had to stack pillows under our bodies to get them to quit hurting our backs. 10.We texted the number it told us to text and no one ever got back to us. 11.There was mold visibly coming out between the wood slats in the 3rd floor living area on the walls.12. Kitchen Sink Disposal didn’t work. 13.We were given three pods for the dishwasher for a 7 day booking. 14. Coffee maker had mold as well and I had to clean it out to use it. 15. Ice maker didn’t work. 16.The phone for emergencies in the elevator didn’t work scary & dangerous. 17. We were given the wrong Wi-Fi information 18. Tv wouldn’t connect to the Wi-Fi. This property is unsafe for families with kids who can't swim. At such a high rate it was just not acceptable to lease without fixing first. We enjoyed our stay would return again if corrected.

Nice place that is clean and well kept. Enjoyed pool and short walk to beach. One of multiple TVs did not work, but that was an insignificant issue. Fridge nice and clean, but ice maker did not work. Overall, very happy with check-in process, home and surroundings. Pleased with our choice for a large family vacation.
6.0
Beautiful place but hard to understand why it’s upkeep is neglected. Doorknobs falling off and hole in back door. Bedrooms on the first floor were always over 82 degrees. Called for assistance with no response. No lights in elevator making it virtually useless. Lawn not kept….high grass made mosquitos even worse. Really pretty with a great view but should be flawless for the price.

Beautiful House! Had a great trip with family! Loved all the room and the view and how close it was to the beach. Used the concierge for frozen and cold items to limit how much we had to pack! Cheryl was really helpful!

This was our second year staying in Beach a Holic. We had 14 family members present for a long weekend. Plenty of room for everyone. The view from the 3rd floor of the beach is amazing and love the boardwalk straight out to the surf. The home has lovely furnishings; very comfortable. We also love the ping pong table and electronic game table. The private pool is wonderful after a day at the beach. The elevator is wonderful for hauling ice chests, luggage, etc up to the 3rd floor kitchen, dining and living area. Thanks for another terrific weekend!

This property could be really great. The location is wonderful — a quieter stretch of beach right next to Mustang Island state park. Having an elevator makes hauling supplies up to the 3rd story kitchen a breeze. It has a nice view of the beach and a close boardwalk. The retro arcade table downstairs is fun for kids.
However, several maintenance issues marred our stay. The biggest was the pool pump was broken and the pool itself was filled with green algae and happy frogs doing backstrokes, making swimming unsafe and frankly, gross. The back door on the first floor that led to the pool had a broken lock, creating a safety issue as we were traveling with several small children. There was a sign next to the door saying a new door had been ordered and lead times are long, but we should have been informed upon booking that that was the case because small children and pools are incredibly hazardous. We were able to secure it with bungee cords tied to a chair.
To make matters more upsetting, I called and texted the management company a few days before our arrival asking them to check on maintenance concerns after reading reviews here about a dirty pool, broken ice machine, and potentially unloackable back door. The management company said they would send someone to check, however, no one called me back to update me on the status and all the above issues presented themselves immediately upon our arrival.
I called the management company again and they sent someone out to clean the pool and replace the pump, but even after that it was apparent the pool needed some serious work. It’s also really sad because the properties immediately next door both have beautiful, sparkling pools which we were super jealous about! We didn’t get in the pool for the entirety of the stay, which was a huge disappointment for our big family group.
Other small maintenance concerns showed the lack of care taken at the property: a broken shower door handle in one bathroom, the dishwasher bottom rack is missing a wheel in the kitchen…the whole place needs TLC.
Also, while it’s makes perfect sense to have the kitchen and living room on the top floor to take advantage of the views, the insulation between floors is abysmal. Those in the 2nd floor bedrooms beneath the living areas could hear every stomping foot and cabinet close above them. It made for some fitful early mornings and late nights when trying to get a baby to sleep. I would look elsewhere.

This place is beautiful. The pictures and description were spot on, did not disappoint. Only thing, which I rated 4 stars on, was we were not told someone would be showing up in the middle of our trip (arrived at 9am Monday morning) to work on the a/c. Was a little concerning at first when an unknown visitor arrived and we were not informed of this ahead of time. But after the gentlemen properly identified himself and called Silver Sands to confirm, he completed his task quickly and left. Other than this, the trip was perfect and we have already booked our trip to stay here again next year!

We were quite disappointed upon arrival at this property. I paid $6,000 for this property for 3 nights and 4 days. This property needs some maintenance upkeep. Example: Back door would not lock.I cannot believe you are renting a property with a broke lock that can be accessed by anyone. Who would be liable for theft or even worse should someone just open the door and help their self?
The handle to the 3rd. floor bathroom was broke. The handles on both shower door on the 2nd. floor are about to come off.
There was blood on the bedspread in the 1st. floor bedroom bed.
The trash situation was a joke. All the trash cans were overflowing with no place to put anymore trash.
Their was a lot of trash on the back patio and in the backyard. Empty water bottles, paper plates etc. Toys all over the backyard.
The 2 garages were not accessible for parking cars in. There was crap scattered all over both of them.
We spent part of our vacation cleaning up after previous tenants. This should have been done by your crew.
We departed on Thursday at 10:45 am leaving the house in better condition than we found it. I have photos of most of this crap I described.
We rented from you last year and were very happy. Not so this year.
The plusses were the location, the view, and the 3rd. floor area.
Have a good day.

Almost everything was perfect!! The house is beautiful, the view is stunning. Very short walk to the beach. Plenty of pool toys, beach toys and chairs. There were a couple downsides. They mowed the grass midweek and blew it right into the pool. We had to borrow the neighbor’s skimmer to clean it out. We called and they said a pool person was coming but no one showed up. We also had a flight change and needed to check out a day early, they would not work with us. We just wanted a fourth of the cost of one night to help with a hotel room by the airport. Other than those, everything was awesome!!

Our overall trip was great. The house was perfect for our large group. I had previously read reviews about dishwasher and ice maker being broken. The dishwasher had been fixed but the ice maker was still broken!! It was not fixed our whole trip so we had to constantly run out for ice. Communication with the management company was not great. I got several emails about sending my drivers license or I wouldn’t get a door code. I had sent it at least 4 times with NO confirmation of it being revived and still got emails that I needed to send it. After calling they confirmed they had gotten it. Also the WiFi was out when we showed up. We texted the number to ask what to do and it took a day to get answers. This was really annoying since a lot of us work remote and need WiFi. Aside from the management company the house is very well maintained and the beach is very nice.
10.0
There was 16 of us (8 adults and 8 kids). The house was a great location and had plenty of room. The pool was a big hit! The elevator was required, nice and fun!
My only negative comment was the house needed some maintenance work. When we arrived the dishwasher, ice maker on the frig, at least one bedroom TV, and several outside outlets did not work. I understand that things are used and sometimes abused by all the renters, but some things like the air conditioner, frig, stove, main TV, and with a party of 16 the dishwasher must WORK!
Upon discovering the dishwasher did not work I contacted the property manager (Silver Sands) and they promptly sent out a repair man followed by an appliance specialist that determined the unit would not be fixed while we were there. These things including the dishwasher was broke before we got there so the dishwasher fix should already been happening. This meant one week of washing dishes for 16 people! I had to take a lot of heat from my party! I also had to make several calls and talk with several people while on vacation (not fun) from the supervisor up to the GM. After raising enough cane while there and when I got home, Silver Sands finally made good on a resolution which involved a partial refund that was satisfactory. I wish I didn't have to spend so much time on the phone, but we still had a great family vacation!
6.0
Overall this is a great beach house for a large group. But, the dishwasher and ice maker were broken our entire stay. I reported this to the property management company on our first full day but it was never corrected. Washing dishes by hand for 11 people for 4 days is not my idea of a relaxing vacation. Make sure these items have been repaired before booking.
10.0
Absolutely a fantastic Get Away, even with four young teenagers. With the beach just minutes away, a private pool right off the back door and a video game table and ping-pong table to choose from, they were plenty busy and as a result the Adults had a great time!!!
The house is very well appointed and you can't beat the views from any of the decks. The elevator was a big plus for transporting food and coolers to the third floor kitchen.
Upon arrival we found the house just freshly cleaned and mopped (the floors were very slippery for a time). Recommend a sponge mop be provided, especially for water that inevitably gets tracked in coming in from the pool. Also recommend you bring extra trash bags and towels as they are in limited supply.
We will definitely be back and without hesitation highly recommend Beach-A-Holic, you won't be disappointed!

The house is nice with a good location. The beds were cheap and uncomfortable. The silver sands rental office kept texting us to go to the golf cart office even though we had been there the day before. Our stay was ok but could have been better.

We have stayed at Beach-a-holic multiple times!! It's our “go to” place for family vacations!!! The home is so well appointed and we loved the fresh new updates! Our FAVORITE part is the king sized bed suites and the private pool!! The brand new boardwalk to the beach was so great!! And we really love that you can drive your golf cart over it! Makes getting to the beach with all of your gear, so much easier! Next vacation is already booked!

The house was great from top to bottom. There were some minor broken furniture issues but nothing that was terrible. Th see one problem was the garbage situation. All 3 garbage cans were over full on our first day there and the bugs and racoons made it worse. That was the only thing that kept this from a 5 star review.

4 families shared this house and it was perfect for us! Daily coffee on the top deck was perfect as the haze burned off and then pool and/or beach each afternoon. The boardwalk was a great link to the beach and the pool was well maintained. Kitchen was well appointed and Made meal prep for a large group of hungry teens easy. The property did also have a few beach chairs and boogie boards on premise which were used by our group daily. We were a bit confused about checkin but when I inquired they explained an email would come in 3 days before checkin with all needed info and it did just as promised. Sheets, bath towels and blankets were provided but bring your own beach towels and perhaps a few dish towels. Great spot-Thank you!

This was our first time to Mustang Island. The house location was great, the walkway to the beach was great and the house was pretty clean. It all looked perfect UNTIL we opened the microwave and it was VERY dirty. I know the housekeepers miss things every once in a while, so I did not call and complain. The only other thing that was a bummer were all stickers in the "grass" which was actually just weeds. I loved that the house allowed dogs, but every time our mini doodle came in from out back he would have a minimum of 10-15 stickers in his fur that we would have to pick out. A few passes of Weed-N-Feed would totally help the grass out! Then on our last day we saw that a rat drowned in the pool over night.... we know that can't be helped so much, but maybe put some of the black boxes out from the pest control company and have them check/change them frequently. With all that said, I do think this area was a good location, without the crowd/families with small children like Cinnamon Shores attracts for a quieter experience.

Beach-A-Holic was everything we dreamed it would be ! Our group of 18 ranged in ages of 2 to 67 and everyone found something to enjoy. The beach was easy to access and beautiful and as a Grandmother I loved watching the kids run and play Would definitely rent again

The house was great. They could use a pool skimmer since there was a lot of grass in the pool. The boardwalk was being rebuilt. Not cool and I wish we had been told prior to our arrival as this was a big draw for the house... a boardwalk to the beach. Lots of loud construction noises and equipment obstructing our view. Great house, not happy at all we were not informed of the impending construction.

House is gorgeous and enjoyed the property. Only problem was when checking in the cleaning personnel were still there. We sat in driveway until a hour and a half after the check in time. Contacted management and requested a late check out by one hour to compensate the late check in, and was told that was not possible. Other than the place not being available as contracted, it was beautiful.

It was just like the pictures. Great location, clean, and lots of room. The listing did say it was golf cart accessible, but it was not. The stairs are brutal after a few days but there is an elevator if you chose to leave a deposit.

Home is beautiful and spacious. Super close to beach. Only issues we had were the pool, the pump was running to the pool but it was not filtering the water. Kids complained it wasn't very clean. There was no net to clean the pool of any debris. The water was not very blue compared to our neighbors pools. We did reach out silver sands in regards to roaches we found in the kitchen and in the bunk room under the covers. They refused to sleep in that room after that incident. They said they would reach out to property owners for extermination. Hopefully next time we visit things will be better.

The home and location is as beautiful as the pictures look. The view from the top floor balcony is amazing. We were very disappointed in the beds though. They may have been the most uncomfortable and loud beds we have ever slept on. Every room had the issue. I would highly recommend they put new beds in. I was so uncomfortable that I really didn't get a good nights sleep the whole weekend.

The facility was way below expectations. The door to the pool the handle was off, there was mold on the ceiling in the bathroom, the ice maker didn’t work, the oven was coming out of the wall and when we got there after checkin, all the towels were still in the washer. Calling silver sands was meaningless.
Also the houses are on top of each other so the first night our neighbors were blaring music until 1am. Book at your own risk.

Reserved this space for a corporate retreat and it couldn’t have gone any better. The location, amenities, layout of the house, etc... they were all perfect for our needs. Knocked a single star off of the view, due to all the construction right outside the backyard. Didn’t effect our experience at all, but also didn’t enhance it. Great spot. Great experience.

When planning your summer weekend getaway with family and friends, keep this house in mind-it has everything! Home was very clean, well appointed, had a pool, grille and in view of the beach. All you need to bring is food, drinks and clothes! My only critique for ownership-upgrade all the mattresses to match the feel of this luxurious house!! All my guests complained of hard, uncomfortable mattresses. Aside from that, we would consider again. Great house, location and atmosphere.
