We loved staying at this Airbnb. It was supper close to the great restaurants and easy access to the beach.

The Kahuna Cottage was really neat with a vintage look. The back yard was nice for the dog. The inside was clean. The air conditioning was decent, however, the dehumidifier really helped out with the cooling of the space. Also be mindful the shower is very small but we made it work. If you’re looking for a spacious place this may not be for you. If you’re looking for a place to lay your head at night and cook a small breakfast for 2 it’s perfect!

Wonderful cottage, friendly hosts!

perfect for wha twe needed for.

Great place to stay here one block away from restaurant row, a good bar straight across the street fun with karaoke and great bartenders not to mention the grocery store is two blocks away. It’s small and quaint, but it’s quiet.

The property had several cleanliness and maintenance issues upon arrival (dirty floors, musty/unwashed linens, and pest concerns), which made the stay uncomfortable. We also had difficulty getting assistance during our stay. That said, management did ultimately provide a 50% refund after the fact, which we appreciate. Hopefully improvements are made for future guests.

Loved it

GuestAirbnbOct 2025

We had a great stay and will definitely be back. It was perfect for our little family and was very clean and private but still close to multiple food and entertainment options. Lots of restaurants recommendations, fun things to do, and local attractions all listed with addresses and numbers which I thought was very sweet and kind of them. 5 stars from us:)

Pet friendly cottage located in Spanish Village of Port Aransas. It’s within walking or golf cart distance to all the shops, restaurants and beach front locations in Port Aransas! Host is very responsive and will answer any of your questions!

Very walkable area, we loved that aspect. Very nice and clean stay, plenty of room for three people (what we had), but the only thing I would be aware of is the shower. Nothing bad or against the stay but it is a little snug for me (6’0 185lbs). Other than that I would 100% stay here again!

GuestAirbnbJul 2025

Highly recommend Sandy key, great house for a small family in a great location next to walkable restaurants and nightlife activities. The host was very responsive and welcoming! Will definitely be coming back!

GuestAirbnbJul 2025

This little cottage was adorable. It’s small and quaint but was perfect for me and my fur baby. I loved the fenced yard and the sitting chairs out back. The location was amazing and we even walked to the beach one morning! I’d love to check out the other units in this location!

GuestAirbnbJul 2025

My girls and I had a wonderful stay! Kahuna Cottage was cute, charming, and comfortable, and the host was extremely responsive and helpful. Would definitely book again!

GuestAirbnbJul 2025

We loved staying here! This is a perfect, cozy, private bungalow. The house was clean and comfy with all the needed amenities. Additionally, it is wonderfully helpful to have a pet-friendly place with a fenced yard. We would definitely stay again.

GuestAirbnbJun 2025

Was very comfortable and had a nice fenced In back yard for our dog. Which was very nice! The ac kept the place feeling amazing! Great location! Will definitely be staying here again!

Recent beach trip with husband and two dogs! We really enjoyed the fenced in backyard and central location to town. The hosts were super responsive and friendly.

GuestAirbnbMay 2025

Positives-Great location, very close to places to eat, the ferry, and the beach. Negatives- floor was dirty found a couple of roach carcass under the cabinet when cleaning the floor. Fridge was not working the whole time. Most of the groceries had to be thrown away. Parked on the curb to avoid anyone hitting my vehicle as another big vehicle was parked across from me and I was asked by a neighbor if I could move so they could get through. The place is cute, and convenient, but I was hoping for better from management.

GuestAirbnbApr 2025

Cottage is located very close to beach and even closer to restaurants and bars. Several cottages surround it. Fully adequate for a beach getaway especially if you’re planning on not spending much time on property.

GuestAirbnbSep 2024

GREAT LOCATION! We walked to the bars as they are right across the street. With it being so close the outside was a bit loud but once you get inside not an issue at all! Super close to restaurants, bars, and the beach! I have back issues and I was pleasantly surprised by the comfort of the beds. The main bed AND bunk bed is VERY comfortable, the sheets were SUPER SOFT. We are hot sleepers and slept just fine with the 3 AC units they had! It is tight quarters not meant for more than 3 people, in my opinion. The shower unfortunately was a down fall with it not getting hot at all and the water pressure (to be expected at the coast) was not great. The location of the building was a bit confusing as the numbers do not correspond but we were able to locate fairly quickly in the dark. They do require a $50 non-refundable security deposit with a 3rd party after you book through Air BNB. Overall great place to sleep comfortably to get up and have more fun out and about the next day!

GuestAirbnbSep 2024

Great location, in town and very close to the beach!

GuestAirbnbAug 2024

Great little place in a prime location. Was very comfortable, had everything I needed for my stay and the host was very responsive. Will definitely be returning!

GuestAirbnbAug 2024

The location was ideal, just a short drive to the shore, perfect for early morning strolls and sunset views. The cottage was well-maintained and comfortably decorated, with a fully equipped kitchen.

GeorgeVrboAug 2024

Wonderful Stay! Aside from a small shower with low water pressure (not a huge deal to us) we loved our stay here! It was great for us and our two pups who also loved it! Small but efficient and has all you need! We will be back :)

GuestAirbnbAug 2024

We enjoy our vacation in this place ! 2 adults + 2 dogs

GuestAirbnbJul 2024

Home was in a great location, dinning, coffee, ice cream, night life all within a short walking distance! Beach was just a 5 min drive. Would definitely book again!

DebbieVrboJul 2024

Older property The property was very small even for two of us. It was functional yet not comfortable. You have to look hard to find the charm. There were many issues I took pictures of as we got there. For the price paid I expected a nicer facility. Even an older property can be updated. Parking was almost non exist. I will however, end with a positive, the location was close to town and beach.

GuestAirbnbJul 2024

The place was nice! It was pretty small, but the size wasn’t an issue. The shower was very small and the water pressure was not good, but other than that everything was great! I would stay again :)

GuestAirbnbJun 2024

Private space with fenced in backyard great for a small family with dogs.

GuestAirbnbJun 2024

Perfect stay for a quick beach trip! It was a good size for a family of 3. We definitely enjoyed our time!

GuestAirbnbJun 2024

Great place and love the location

We did not spend much time in the cottage, basically we only showered and slept there Positive: Location Negative: It was not as advertised. It is pretty small, the pictures do not show the reality of this cottage. Shower was extremely small and very little water pressure, I understand water conservation, but when it takes 30 minutes to shower verses 15 minutes to shower to remove the soap or shampoo from your hair does it make a difference. My wife had to rinse the shampoo from her hair in the kitchen sink with sprayer. Better showers at the beach than this one. Found dead roaches in the bathroom. Also be aware of the dehumidifier, you will need to dump the water before going to bed in order to not be awakened in the middle of the night to the alarm to empty the tank that has dirt and mold growing on it. The refrigerator has began to rust and the light bulb inside is just hanging down, missing the cover. Towards the end of or stay water was dripping from the ceiling light fixture in the bedroom. Called and made them aware, sent someone out and determined it was from humidity. Most of the electrical outlets are loose and are a safety hazard,for small children.Two window A/C units are rusted and plenty of outside air is allowed to enter the room, not sealed up very good. And one of the blinds above the unit had a tie wrap holding it up but still vibrated down into the air flow. The window blind is broken in the bathroom, so anyone can see into the bathroom. If you have a coffee maker suggest you bring it with you, the hot plate on this one is rusted out. Owners should go to Walmart and buy a $20.00 coffee pot to replace this one. Overall not worth the money we spent on this cottage.

This was our least favorite house we’ve stayed at with sand key. The first one ( in the same neighborhood) was fantastic. Company wise they are wonderful to deal with!

ChristinaBooking.comApr 2024

Perfect getaway Positive: The bed was very comfortable, it was the perfect size for my husband and I and close to everything! Negative: I wish check in and check out was your standard 3pm/11am but as for the actual property, no issues!

Great location in the center of everything - 3 mins to the beach, 3 mins to the restaurants, 3 mins to the store. Perfect for a get away.
