Great Place To Stay

Overall our stay was great! We only stayed one night, bc it was a last minute decision. The property was in a great location with access to two pools. Communication with the owner was very prompt and fantastic. It was a comfortable stay for 8 people. Thank you for your hospitality.

The property was very clean, homey and spacious!

From check-in to the accommodations and cleanliness, the property was amazing. Everything was texted or emailed for check-in. Any questions asked were answered very promptly. Very close to the beach in any other restaurants or stores. You would like to go to. Would recommend this property to anybody!

2022 Annual Get Away

Our accommodations were perfect! We loved staying at The Love Shack at Pirates Bay. Quick access to the beach and loved that the pool was right outside our front door. Surprisingly enough even when the pool was busy we could not hear the outside noise in the house. The house was perfect! Kitchen well stocked and the kids loved the bunk bed set up in the loft. It was private right at the top of the steps. They had a gate at the top of the steps that was well thought out for the littles. We put a fan in the loft area at night to drown out any noise in the living room below from the adults, the kids slept so well and even slept in, in the morning. The bedrooms were spacious and the beds were very comfortable. Erinn was our host and she was ready and available with any questions we had. I would highly recommend this rental and we can’t wait to return next year.

Paradise by the beach

We had a great time. House had everything we needed & more. Close to restaurants & shopping. Port Aransas is nice cozy town. Little grocery store had all we needed. Pool was great. Not crowded at all. Everyone was friendly. Highly recommend.

Perfect for the kids

The kids enjoyed the property. They really enjoyed their loft sleeping area. The location was close enough to the beach but far away enough from the traffic. Short distance to our favorite places to eat. We are already planning our next trip back. Easy to just walk out the front door and into the pool! Very cozy.

Overall Good Stay

Only issue with the property was that the bed frame in the master was broken. Called owner and they sent someone out to fix it within a few hours. Everything else was good. Location is hidden from the crowds, but still close to beach access road and restaurants.

Spring Break 2021

This place was absolutely amazing and being off the beach was great because at night it was super quiet. Everything was up to date and worked great. I brought my kids and some of their friends for spring break and the up stairs was perfect for the kids to have a week long slumber party. It was to cold to swim but the pools looked gorgeous and having one steps away was nice. We will definitely be back here for future trips.
