Loved our beach trip

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!!

Amazing Home Away From Home!

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!!

Nice Mustang Beach Vacation House

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.

Great Port A Getaway

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.

Quiet vacation home

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.

Beautiful Beach Bungalow

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)

The Good Life

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.

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’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.

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.
