I liked the location of the property. The view was great but I thought the deck was closer to the ground. It was very peaceful. I had trouble with the door getting in and checking out. The staff was very helpful.

We loved our stay right on the canal. Tons of things to do right at the house with kayaks, standing boards, floats, a grill and the public beach is only 5 minutes away. We loved the Texas Sealife Center that rescues turtles and other animals too. My kids loved the bunk beds and patios too. There's salt and pepper available but no other condiments (just fyi since all places are different). Kids bedroom is up one flight of stairs and main bedroom is up 2 flights. We'd love to go back!

Very cozy little home on the water. Stayed here twice and loved it both times. The garage is full of beach toys and coolers. Along with kayaks and paddle boards that can be launched from the dock. Most of the fishing rods are inoperable and be sure to check the propane bottle before preparing your bbq. If you end up buying a replacement guest services will reimburse the cost. Highly recommend. 9/10 all the way.

I loved the back deck over looking the canal. It was very peaceful. I grew to like the condo a lot. It was generally clean, although it could use some maintenance work, such as painting the walls and the trim was peeling off in places. Carpets need cleaning too. Beds were comfortable. The location is wonderful and close to good restaurants, etc. . The garage is full of big toys, which made the stay really fun.

I have a mixed review about this vacation rental. The location is wonderful. The home itself is very nice. It is not the most updated but is very clean and has a very peaceful vibe.
However communication with Vacasa is terrible. They manage to make the experience of working with them feel like reaching out to a nameless uncaring call center. I had several messages go without answer for over a week prior to the trip. They encourage you to use the call center but even then you are out on hold forever. When I finally got through to someone using the text service they acted like they hadn’t even seen my full message and only addressed part of our problem. Many reviews say the door lock doesn’t not work and they are right it does not work. It’s maybe a $50 fix. But although many reviews have said the same thing vacasa ignores the issue.
I feel bad for the home owner that they are still choosing to use vacasa. Ultimately I don’t think I would go with a rental that uses a large property management company again. I much prefer having direct communication with the owner because they actually care about the renter. But the home is nice and it was great to be able to use the kayaks and paddle boards provided. The spot is incredibly peaceful. There are other condos in the same area that are owner run and I would recommend going with them.

Front door combination lock did not work. Had to call for help. Changing the combination on the phone didn't help. Finally opened a lock box and used a key to open the front door. Spent the whole week with only one key to open the door. Unacceptable situation.
8.0
Nice area plenty of room in condo. Good spot to get on and off island quickly. Enjoyed my stay. Only draw back didn’t have a dock right outside back. Had to walk down to eight to use dock there if want to kayak and someone had there boat tied up to it all week. Overall not a bad place and good service.
6.0
Loved the location on canal, close to beach. Patio with grill that worked well was great in afternoon/evening. Kayaks were in great condition and were a lot of fun for our sons. Two things to confirm before booking:
1.) there was not a washer dryer in unit, but check in instructions said there would be. Double check if that is important to you
2.) Downstairs is a very comfortable temperature in mid-summer. Bedrooms upstairs, especially master, were HOT. We bought a fan and suggested owner provide fans for both bedrooms. Bring your own or ask if they are providing for your stay.
10.0
The condo was extremely comfortable. Loved hanging out on the waterfront porch and watching the fish jump and boats go by. We were able to tie our boat up on the dock just off the back deck which was super convenient. Having a garage to store the water toys for the beach and fishing tackle was a bonus. Definitely will be back.
6.0
The good: The beds were clean. The house in general was acceptably clean, though it needed a deep clean and dusting. Good location.
The kayaks and paddleboards are ok, if you are going to use them for several days, or if that is enough for who is staying here, but honestly, don't let it sway you to rent this property, because there are a lot of places to rent them.
The bad:
Even though the outside temps were only mid to low 80's the AC struggled to keep the house at 75, even though we closed all the curtains to block the sun. The house is set up so the bottom level is where the thermostat is, and if that says 75, the middle level (bedroom with bunk bed) and the upper level (master) are sweltering. The upper bedroom does not have any windows that open so there is no hope of a cooling breeze when the outside temps come down. The couches are so worn that when you sit, you just keep going down. The master bed has such body divots in it that it is incredibly uncomfortable.
In general, run down and old, stained chair cushions, stained carpet, peeling paint on trim. The pool was NOT clean and well kept. Vacasa left us a dirty stained pool bag with clean towels, but the bag was quite off-putting.
Please notice that while it looks like there are a certain number of reviews, that many are doubles, and this is bumping the rating up. I noticed that and decided to overlook it, and regret it. I would absolutely not stay here again.

Called the main office asking for a boat trailer tag that was not in the proper place where stated online.
Never was contacted for a promised call back.
Ended up making my own tag for my boat trailer.
It was sort of an inconvenience worrying about my boat trailer being towed. Overall our stay was
great.

Great Property.
This was an excellent choice for my small family. There were me, my wife and two children. We wanted to spend alot of time fishing so this location was perfect for that. We fished right in the backyard and also walked around the corner and fished the open bay. I will be renting this property every time I come down if possible.

short family getaway
Our little 3 person family was looking for a small condo to rent for short getaway to Padre Island. I ran across this one and picked it based on the fact it was close to the water (on the water) and it's close access to Padre Island National Seashore. The unit was clean, and plenty big enough for the 3 of us. It was stocked with linens, dishes, pots, pans etc. etc. The balcony with table and grill overlooking the water was very pleasing as well. My daughter enjoyed the paddle boards that came with the rental. Price was on par with other units in the area. I would definitely stay there again.

Reviewer Comments:
We go to Port A a few times a year. Decided to change it up this trip and it was a great decision. So much to do, kayaking,wakeboard,fishing. It was perfect for the small grandkids. And no one was burnt out from days on the beach. We will be back!

Great location
The property location was perfect for a beach trip nicely tucked away in a quiet neighborhood on the canals and was only 5mins (by car) to whitecap beach. The kitchen was stocked with enough pans and utensils to make anything you want and they provided dishwashing pods and liquid. They provided fishing poles, kayaks and other beach toys only problem was there were enough kayaks to fit 4 people but only 3 life jackets. Other than that we had a great time the property was clean and family friendly, the beds were super comfy and I loved watching the fish jumping in the canal. Just and FYI you need a permit to park on whitecap beach it’s only $10 and can be found at stripes and HEB.

Corpus Stay
The rental was nice. Very roomy. Mast room bed was comfortable. The room out kids stayed in had full size bunk beds with a full size trundle. That room had 2 air mattresses in the closet. We didn’t all that sleep space some may. In the garage there was 3 kayaks and I think 2 paddle boards. We weren’t brave enough for the paddle boards. Also had bikes which we didn’t have time to get out. It was a wonderful stay.

Every morning about 6 a dolphin came down the cove. Boys enjoyed the kayaks. We weren’t brave enough for the paddle boards it was too windy. Had a great time fishing in the cove.

Perfect for kids who want a little independence
Very clean and convenient. The kayaks and paddle boards as well as access to multiple areas to fish just steps away, are perfect for early teens. Plus comfortable for adults that just want to hang out.
