By far this was one of the best rental stays we’ve have ever had. My family and I stayed here for 3 nights and the experience was outstanding! The house was so clean and stocked with essentials we felt right at home. My kids loved the game room and all the options they provided. The pool was very clean and loved how close it was to sitting area for our family to be around. I would highly recommend this location to any family or couple looking for a phenomenal experience and a getaway unlike any other. We definitely look forward to future rentals at this location!

Great place and location! Very clean and plenty of room for 11 of us. Great kitchen and a great working AC. Pool was perfect size. I will say mosquito spray is needed during summer time all over Port A, they attack and don’t stop.
Game room came in handy to kill time with the kids. Would stay here again.
5.0
We had a wonderful time at this beautiful house with a view. We loved sitting on the deck watching the barges go by and watching the birds. The pool was great and I think my kids lived in it, loving it more than the beach, which is super close by the way. Great communication and super easy check out process. Definitely added to the relaxation and comfort of our trip. Plenty of room for our 2 families. Definitely recommend.
5.0
The house was clean and the pictures do it justice. We had 10 of us there and never felt cramped or crowded. We could not use the pool as much as we would like, the bugs were awful. The house backs up to the lagoon side, so there is a lot of overgrown vegetation and still water. Our first morning there, the pool had 100s of bugs in it and the kids would not go on it. A message was sent to the management company and the pool cleaners were out within a few hours. They came back a second time during our stay and the pool was more usable. I will not rent on that side of the island again. I will rent from the management company again. They were prompt in addressing the pool concern and everything else was exactly as advertised.
5.0
We stayed for three nights/four days and had a great time in the home and the pool. We had some A/C troubles, but the host was very responsive and got a tech out as quick as possible. The location was perfect, the home was equipped with games, kitchen tools, plenty of pool towels, and was nice and clean. Would definitely recommend, and we can't wait to go back!

Family and Beach with a beautiful home.

We came into town for my graduation and I wanted a house for myself and family to stay. I didn’t mind the drive for Corpus because Port A is much nicer and beachy. The kids loved the pool and the adults enjoyed the game room. We went to the local fish market and had a fish and shrimp fry. The beach is very close and the house sits on the bay. Quiet neighborhood and plenty of parking.

What an amazing PortA bay house Sandy S’mores is…our absolute favorite on Mustang Island. The location is perfect, stunning views of wildlife/shallow water bay landscapes. Close proximity to the birding center and wildlife boardwalk. Beautiful home with very modern designs/decor. We love the double primary suites. We will be back very often!!!

From the moment we arrived, we loved our stay. When we were not at the beach, we spent our time in the pool or playing ping pong. Absolutely would recommend Sandy Smores to anyone wanting to travel to Port A. The hosts were amazing and on top of everything!

This pictures for this property do not do it justice. The place is just beautiful. The property was stocked with everything one would need- towels and starter toiletries. Kitchen utensils, pots and pots, any dishes needed. Even a family sized slow cooker, blender, and toaster. The game room was a bonus we used every night playing ping pong with our adult children and having a ton of laughs. This was a vacation we won’t forget.

There were some hiccups but they got resolved in a timely manner. We had an amazing time with kids and grandkids. This is a beautiful home and the pool was great. We enjoyed our stay and would differently stay here again.

We will definitely be staying here again. The property was very nice. Short distance to the beach. The house was cozy. The only complaint we had was the refrigerator smelt awful. (Like fish) We tried cleaning it with Lysol wipes it didn't help. . So our food smelt like fish. Overall we would recommend this property to our friends.

Sandy Smor's is too cool! We were a party of 8 with a one year old and a dog staying for New Year's. Sway provided awesome communication. They emailed easy instructions, codes and everything we needed to know ahead of check-in time. We walked into a gorgeous, spacious, comfortable, modern, new and clean space! There were so many areas to enjoy. We loved the lavish beds and pillows! Best I have ever slept in. The gameroom had many game options-we are huge fans of ping pong now, the pool was sparkling and we all enjoyed the magical mornings one the decks that overlooked the nature preserve! Wow! It was so relaxing and peaceful! We all love to cook and the kitchen was perfect. It had everything we needed. Hope to come back soon!

Everything was great as soon as we walked in the door! The house is very spacious and extremely clean!!! It was only my wife and I and our 2 pugs! The dogs loved it because they had plenty of space to run around!!! We loved the house because there was plenty of room to relax and especially relaxing outside by the pool!!! This place was very quite too! We always go on vacation in the off season and we definitely chose the right place! The location was great and you could look out over the nature preserve from both decks!! We will definitely stay here again!!

The house was gorgeous in a great location. I loved the gate around both the upper deck and the pool for safety. The kitchen came loaded with everything including plastic plates, bowls and cups for kiddos! The game room was a huge hit and the pool was perfect. We can’t wait to stay again.

Plenty of room, very nice house, and well equipped kitchen. A little drive to the beach, and pretty crowded on the beach, but we were really happy hanging out at the pool downstairs. Thanks so much!
5.0
Our family went down for our annual beach vacation and chose Sandy S’mores for our party of 7. The communication from the property managers was great from the very beginning. The house is beautiful and the kitchen is very well equipped with everything that you may need during your stay! The kids loved the pool and the fire pit for s’mores at night! We had a few issues with the internet not working and the pool getting a little cloudy, but the property managers were quick to to respond and resolve the issues and it definitely didn’t take away from the vacation experience! We can’t wait to stay there again next year! Thank you Jim and Chuma for helping make our vacation one to remember!

This home is great for young people, it was tough for us older folks trying to climb up the stairs to get into the home. Nice if they had some type of pulley system to pull up luggage and food. The home was very nice and comfortable. The play room needs better ventilation and bathroom was kind of slippery.
