I treated my wife for her birthday and brought some of her closest friends/family down for a nice getaway. It was our first trip since having a little one so it was going to be our first major trip with a baby in tow. Everything was amazing. A challenge to get the door open because the lock was sticking in the door but we got through it. We were a short 3-4min drive down to the beach and enjoyed plenty of time there. I have to say the house was amazing. Spacious and perfect for the group we had. We didn’t use the kids room but I did enjoy it as it was outfitted with an Xbox1 and games! The kitchen and living room being open spaced was perfect to entertain, cook, and play games. The baby loved their first time in the pool and it was nice to have it when we just wanted to chill and enjoy some privacy. The grill could use some love as I spent some time cleaning it up to cook. The only thing I was surprised with was one of the main bedrooms has a sliding door for the bathroom and the other doesn’t. There were pots, pans, feeding chair, and all kinds of other stuff available to use if you need it. I would still recommend to have your own plastic ware/plates available for easy cleanup. Saved a lot of time on the day before check out to have everything cleaned up so we got to enjoy the last evening together. I appreciated the follow up by the management staff on everything. We plan on returning again for our own trip. You will not be disappointed.

Great property!

We have stayed in many short term rentals, and this is our favorite by far! They even provided a dog bed and dog bowls for our dog!

We loved staying at the Whatabeach House! It was far enough away from the main strip that we felt tucked away from the hustle & bustle; but not too far from everything. Getting a golf cart is key, as it made travel around the island super easy. The house was beautiful, clean, & featured awesome little touches that made our stay special such as: the pool, the grill, chargers everywhere, games, streaming services, & smart Google devices. We would definitely stay again!

Loved our stay at Whatabeach! Even with the rain and cooler weather! It was a little chilly for the pool, but my grandson took the jump and chilled with a couple of laps, laughing the whole time! The putting green was a great hit, I even beat my grandson in one round! The back deck was enjoyed by all! It was too wet for the fire pit unfortunately. Had a blast with the cart as well, I think we drove all over town, threw a blanket or beach towel on and off we went! Thank y'all!

The pictures don’t do this house justice!!!!! It is amazing! More than enough room inside and out for our family. The kitchen was equipped with everything you could possibly need!!! They have thought of everything you could possibly need! We will definitely be back!!!! The putting green was a huge hit!!!!

Great!

We enjoyed a 3 week stay at this really cute, well equipped and comfortable house. It is located such that one can walk to stores, the downtown area and restaurants. Bed was comfortable, house was very clean and we really liked the spaces to hang out in as the weather wasn't super warm most of the time. It is close to a mile to the beach so it is a good walk or a quick drive. Our dogs liked the fenced back yard, putting green was fun and the pool looked inviting but we didnt swim. I didnt give the house a 5 star rating as the exterior spaces weren’t nearly as nice or inviting: some/most of the outdoor furniture is pretty worn and dirty, all neighbors surrounding the house have dogs that bark nearly constantly and most of the surrounding properties look very cluttered and junky, so the views from the decks are not pleasant. That said, there were still times when the sun was shining and one is sitting by the pool and all is good! Property managers were very responsive and are aware of the opportunities with the outside spaces, I have no doubt they will address what they can. Port A is a nice, beachy town with friendly Texans and other visitors. Liked the wide variety of restaurants. There is a wonderful community park a few blocks away with a dog park and nature trails and other many other amenities within the park. We would use SWAY again, they have many other properties in the area.

They thought of everything! Very comfortable, great location, super cute, and well stocked!

Overall, this was a lovely, clean and a great price for what you get. It was way too big for us both and, we will stay there again if it is available. It was perfect for the two chihuahuas as well. the yard is fully enclosed but be sure to bring doggie bags for the backyard. The deck out back is just great for relaxing on cool evenings. All listed amenities were included with lots of cook ware and a large fridge. You will love it too!

Got the R&R we were looking for.

We really enjoyed our time here, very relaxing! Great pool, and outdoor activities. Great location, close to restaurants and shops.

This property was a wonderful get away for our family beach vacay!! It had everything we needed and things we didn’t know we needed! The door lock was a bit finicky but once we got the hang of it, going in and out was good! The mgmt was very responsive to my questions and if I had an issue, I feel like it would have been handled quickly! We will return to this home away from home!! Highly recommend!

We absolutely loved our stay at Whatabeach. Our kids and family had a wonderful time. It pretty much had everything we needed during our stay. We look forward to booking again.

The property was excellent. The outdoor spaces were great for entertaining our group. The kitchen was well equipped. We would love to return for another trip soon!

Everyone loved the house!!

Loved the house. Will definitely be back.

Place was really clean and had everything we needed and more. Would definitely stay here again.

This spot was amazing. They truly thought of everything! It’s so spacious, so clean, so comfy will for sure book here again. Chargers everywhere! Roku TV in every room and a fully stocked kitchen and Pool. We also spent the extra bucks to use their golf cart which was cheaper than in town and made getting around so much easier.

Just as pictured! Clean and everything you need. Plenty of room for 6 adults and our dog. We enjoyed the outdoor space very much! Highly recommend choosing this property, you won't be disappointed!

We had a lovely stay. The house was clean, had a great location, and the pool was perfect for the kids. My only two complaints were: (1) We happened to reserve on VRBO, but the owners transferred property management before our stay. This left things to be very confusing and a bit difficult to communicate. It all worked out eventually, but not before extra effort and stress on my part. (2) The only other complaint is that most of bedroom closets were locked and there were no bureaus - leaving no where to store clothes during our stay. Living out of your suitcase leaves much to be desired.

WHATA-GREAT PLACE!!! Perfect for our family with small kids and 2 dogs. They had everything we needed and very clean. I would stay here again and RECOMMEND!

The WhatABeach House is absolutely beautiful and provides everything you will need during your stay at Port Aransas! I highly recommend this house, the attention to detail is outstanding!

Had a great stay! Clean & comfy. Will stay here again.

Everything was totally stocked and pool was awesome wish it was better weather but kids still enjoyed it.
