Fantastic Beach House For A Large Group

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Big Kahuna house was fabulous! We had 11 people in our group and it was plenty spacious for all of us. The house was very clean. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen was well-equipped. There was actually an issue with the pool in a differnt house that we originally rented. However, the management team at Port Aransas Escapes immediately found another house for us without any issues or complications. They were very professional and accommodating.

We had a large group and the home accommodated us perfectly. The house was well equipped with easy access to the beach. We had a few hiccups but likely based more on personal standards and some out of control of the hands of the management.

Fun times

The house is beautiful, laid out really nice. Plenty of space, could have used a bunk bed so two of the grandsons didn’t have to sleep together. The kitchen was stocked with everything to cook with. Plenty of towels for a big family. We had 15 and we were not crowded in the least. Very nice property and will probably try to book for next year.

Multi-Family vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great home for our families. 4 bedrooms + 2 bathrooms on 1st level was great for older kids/young adults. 2nd level set up was perfect with 2 king suites. 3rd floor held our youngest with a day bed. She had her own space with her own TV. The description says there is a room with 2 kings in the bottom level but there were actually two separate rooms each with a king and that worked even better for us. We would rent again in a heartbeat.
