Pour des visiteurs français le lieu est très dépaysant. Le logement était super. Le meilleur que l'on ai eu au texas. Port aransas est très joli. Ça change de Dallas et San Antonio 😅. On a pu voir des dauphins et des tortues dans le port ! Merci pour la très belle expérience.
Me and the boys came down to fish and mostly used the Airbnb to shower and sleep. I’ve stayed in plenty of Airbnbs, and I’m used to little touches like salt, pepper, cooking oil, or a few waters in the fridge. This kitchen had none of that, which was disappointing considering the reviews praising it. The place was also much smaller than the pictures suggested, with small TVs. Check-in was easy, but the photo ID requirements, waivers, and extra hoops seemed excessive. I understand protecting your property, but sometimes folks just want to book a place and relax. Overall, a decent stay that served its purpose. A few basic amenities and less hassle would make a big difference.
Great place in a quiet neighborhood. Exactly what we needed as a good base for exploring the island.
The simplicity of the stay, combined with the location of the rental made this a perfect place to stay. All appliances worked great, super clean and very clear instructions made the experience effortless and we could just enjoy our time. Easy check out with minimal checklist. Will book here again!
This house was so cute! Lots of natural light and the layout was ideal! The beds were comfy and came with all the needed amenities!
This was the perfect place for a long weekend getaway with our family! The condo was adorable, the kids loved the bunk beds, and the primary bed was incredibly comfortable. As a family of four, we had plenty of space and fit perfectly.
The location was another big plus. It was close to the beach and convenient to all our favorite spots in Port Aransas, a city that holds a special place in our hearts. The management company also provided clear, easy-to-follow check-in and check-out instructions.
The only downside was the internet, which was a little too slow to stream Netflix on the TVs. However, since we came to relax and unwind, it didn’t take away from our stay. Overall, we had a wonderful weekend and would happily stay here again!
Great location!!! They had a grill, and a space outside to eat. The pool was great too. Response time by the host was excellent!
The place was awesome, really clean and felt like home. Plus it’s super close to the beach.
Very nice!
The stay was great. Easy to access. The host responded very quickly to any message.
The AC couldn’t keep up, wasn’t very comfortable at night. Couldn’t find a dust pan or really any cleaning supplies other than the little care package. Other than that the location was great and the house was nice.
Nice place this was our third time at these rentals. Will book again.
The hosts were awesome—super responsive and even checked in through the app to make sure we had everything we needed. Very thoughtful and honestly refreshing. They clearly understand how hospitality is supposed to work.The location is fantastic. You’re close to everything Port A, the pool was great, the place was comfortable, and the bed… well, the bed deserves its own 5-star review. VERY comfortable. We slept great. Eventually. If I had to find one little complaint, the internet on the master bedroom TV kept cutting in and out. You’d get about 10 minutes into something and the Wi-Fi would apparently decide, “That’s enough television for you two.”Message received, Wi-Fi. Message received.
This home was nice, perfect for our family of 4. Had most necessities needed, very clean fridge, comfortable beds and pillows, hot water in shower lasted long enough for all 4 of us to shower.
Great host! Felt right at home!
We had an excellent stay at this cute bungalow. House was nice, clean, and perfect for a short getaway for two. Cant wait to come back!
Stay was great, location was close to a lot of food and drink spots plus right by the beach. Would definitely reserve again
This is a GREAT place more roomy than you’d think for the size it is. Queen size BUNK beds in the second room are awesome. If you’re a young adult sleeping on the top would be easy so 6 Adults can easily sleep here. The outdoor area is really nice with an outdoor shower with warm water.
It was really cozy and true to the listing. It had everything we needed for our trip.
Great place to stay, real comfortable.
Amazing stay with great distance to the beach and all the food finds!
We couldn’t find our pool for a lil while but it was very nice once we did. Nice and clean property!! We will be back!! Happy summer
We truly enjoyed our stay this psst weekend! We had everything we needed to relax, unpack, and enjoy Port Aransas.
We recommend staying here at Sand Key Vacation Rentals and will return in the future.
Great communication and great location.
Had a great time!! The pool is perfect for little kids. It has a 1/2ft pool and a 3/4ft pool. One of the days the coast was flooded so the pool was great to entertain the kids. House is clean and has a shower downstairs to rinse off.
Great place to stay
Amazing stay 10/10 I would definitely book again
Enjoyable stay. The place was clean and nearby lots of cool places.
This is our favorite location place in Port A! We have been coming here for the past three years now! The location is great and the amenities are all worth it! Cant wait to come back again soon!
👌
One of the best places we have stayed in
Port A!’
Amazing time and place.
Great stay! Cozy place with just enough room. Right across the pool. Noisy area hut that’s to be expected at PA. Kitchen was fully stocked and the grill was great. No complaints. Will stay again !
Great place for my 1 yr old, 6 yr old, my husband, and I. There was not a lot of random items/decoration that was placed low which was nice that I didn’t have to follow my grabby son around. My daughter liked the bunk beds and there was enough room to place my son’s pack and play for him to sleep. Bed was very comfortable as well. I liked that we were able to park under neath to keep the vehicle out of the elements. I had zero issues with our stay. The last night we did have some college kids stay next to us and I am pretty sure they never went to sleep but it’s spring break so not surprising. We would for sure want to stay here again.
The place was okay overall. It was clean and in a great location. Cons were that it didn’t have wash clothes at all and the TV didn’t work. The host did communicate multiple times throughout our stay.
Although within walking distance to the beach, the cottage has many close neighbors that can affect one’s stay, depending upon their short-term occupants. We had lots of partying and drinking next door, loud music and such.
Great location, property and smooth check in.
Amazing Airbnb. Had an absolute blast and we will be back!
Very much enjoyed my stay and look forward to returning!
Very cute place, the only thing was the couches looked worn out and dirty. Also couldn’t find blender lid. Bathroom and beds very clean!
Wonderful stay at La Cabana in Port Aransas. The house was immaculate and charmingly decorated. Quiet neighborhood just a few minutes easy walk to the beach. Restaurant, bar and convenience store also within short walking distance. Very comfortable and private; never heard a single sound from outside but the sea breeze. Would happily stay here again. Next time I’ll bring my bicycle because the “downtown” area is easily accessible.
It was a good stay.
My family and I really enjoyed our stay here. The home was clean, and spacious for our family of 4. The host was VERY responsive, even in the middle of the night, lol. We wished the pool was bigger but it’s still enjoyable. Great place to stay for your buck.
gorgeous beach getaway. this was the perfect getaway my family and I needed. from the smooth check in, to walking in to a beach oasis. we had such an amazing stay.
I loved the community peaceful and exactly what we needed for a get away . Home was comfy and felt so comfortable!!!! Will definitely go back .
It was a perfect place for a couple. The stairs were the only thing we didn't like about the place. It needs better handrails. Otherwise, everything we needed was there and we enjoyed our week!
Beautiful rental. My kids already want to go back. Beautiful, peaceful and friendly place.
small but cozy. bring extra towels and paper products if staying more than 2 days.
We thoroughly enjoyed the stay! We'll be coming back.
Great value for the holiday weekend! Central location, clean, and comfortable. Had everything we needed and nothing we didn’t. Will definitely come back!
This was the perfect space for me and my family. Very close to the beach and very close to things to do around town!
Enjoyed the rental. Second time staying with them as hosts. The home was very private feeling even though it is with other houses. Our only complaint was the king size bed was harder than we would have liked, but not that big of a draw back to change our scores any also can't please everyone's preference on this. Would stay there and with them again. Overall very happy with our stay.

Jon was a great guest and is recommended to all hosts!
Beautiful Home!!! Great location... host was excellent with fast response, straight forward instructions, and always there if needed.
The restroom has a leak behind the toilet. Mildew smell shower allows too much water to escape the shower curtain.
Check-in was smooth, the space was clean, and it matched the listing. It was a nice location for our short stay.
We had an incredible stay at this beach house—it turned out to be our longest and one of our best family vacations yet. The home was absolutely perfect for our family of three, offering plenty of comfort and everything we needed to relax and enjoy our time by the water. The location, amenities, and overall feel of the house made it truly special. We would gladly stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a wonderful beach getaway.
Sand Key Vacation rentals was just as it advertised. The place was clean and very comfortable. It was a great location and perfect for families. We are looking forward to staying there again.
Very responsive. Cute place and great location!
The layout of these condos is so perfect for our little family. Perfect location, easily accessible to the beach and town. Loved this one in particular because it has larger bunks and a larger secondary deck area. Will definitely stay again
4th of July stay
Was a good stay, the listing listed it was fully furnished and it was not, we only had 1 towel per person (not enough for the week or all day) 1 roll of toliet paper for the week, 1 small bottle of shampoo. I had to go buy everything when i wasnt exspecting to
Very nice, very clean, and a great place for the family.
Great place to stay, walking distance to the beach, they were very communicative and easy to get ahold of, Super clean! Only thing I would say is bring your own cooking spices as there weren't any stocked which isn't on them I just had assumed there was some.
Great stay if you’re looking for a cute little beach house with a quick 7 minute walk to the beach! Everything was very clean and it had what we needed.
Enjoyed our stay!
Very nice stay, clean house and close to the beach
Great place to stay, I just wish the $50 up charge would be included on the Airbnb fees. I don’t like needing to register and pay another third party site outside of Airbnb.
Very cute little place in Port Aransas. Everything was clean and had everything we needed for our weekend SandFest getaway.
All good
Good place with all that needed to have a wonderful vacation
Really great place!
Perfect getaway for our family of 4!
Covered it all
A comfortable stay with everything you need. Well maintained and clean. Enjoyed the decor. Wish the weather wasn’t so cold but the heater worked well. It would be great for a family as it had queen bunkbeds.
I loved the stay here, very walkable nice view. Small little getaway place for a nice beach trip
Enjoyed being this close to the beach and restaurants. Neighborhood was fairly quiet since there were two pools in the vicinity.
Perfect beach retreat
Stayed 3 days and wished it had been longer. It’s a perfect place to stay while Port A. Close to the beach, close to restaurants and bars. Clean, nice and everything you could want for your stay. Highly recommend!
Great Place to stay at will definitely stay here again 💯
Positive: Everything was very nice and neat! Kitchen was fully functional with pots and pans and dishes. Was comfortable.
Enjoy the stay with my family. Close to beach. We bbq during our stay, nice house!
Our second time staying at this place. We loved it from the start. It’s a cute little place that has everything we needed. From kitchen supplies to comfortable beds. Enough for a good amount of guests to stay to relax and enjoy Port A and the beach. Really recommended and can’t wait to come back again.
Had a good stay overall. Tv remote was broken in bedroom, internet network was almost non existent. Was required to pay an additional $50 fee after I had already paid for the house. Just a few hiccups that I wasn’t super excited about, but overall, the house was clean and comfortable for the price.
First I would like to say Thank you place was is a great size especially just for a couple. Place was clean and very cute My only issue is The lack of communication at first the address they provided kept taking me to a different location And I had to wait an additional 35 minutes for a repose after calling several times Frustrating cause I just drove 5 hours and was ready to check in and get settled.The house once inside the bathroom smelled like mildew which caused the house to smell like mildew. The master bedroom remote did not work and none of other remotes would not work for the TV so we had to sit in the living room instead and the Internet did not work so we used our hotspot to watch TV
Great location, exactly as advertised. Would love to stay here again!
Nice quiet place. Great for a quick get away
Really good stay with minor annoyances
The overall property location and layout was great. The host is very responsive. Most things were in good order however there were a few items that were very annoying. The one bathroom sink was clogged and has been clogged for awhile meaning the host has not maintaining it. There was chocolate or something smeared on the master bedroom door which made me question cleaning. And last the Roku TVs all were locked down so we couldn’t add Disney Plus, Max, etc..to them and watch. When I messaged the host they sent me the wrong unlock codes twice and then just told me to call a corporate number that absolutely could not help. Everything else was pretty good - not amazing but adequate.
We had a great stay. However the master bedroom remote for the tv did not work. We like to watch tv in bed , however the living room tv did the job. The second bedroom had no remote for the tv, fyi. Other than that it was nice.
We had a great stay & an awesome vacation at this house. Close to the beach, stores and restaurants - made everything super easy & convenient! We’re already looking forward to our next stay!
Nice place. The host was very helpful in answering any questions we had.
Cute beach house within walking distance to the water.
Rated 3 stars overall - the deal was just okay.
I remove 1 star for the forced insurance policy. It makes no sense to me that you would force me to pay for damages I have not actually caused - especially considering there were plenty of damaged items around the property such as walls, floors, shower curtains, etc. so if you are going to force everyone to pre-pay for damages, you BETTER MAKE SURE the property is in spectacular shape. Instead it looks like the property owners are just pocketing the profits from these “damage waivers” instead of using the funds to actually keep the property in check.
I removed another star for the cleaning fee. $200 cleaning fee is also completely ridiculous - especially when you leave your guests a laundry list of things we must clean before leaving.
Not all bad though. What could have been a 5 star stay - exceptional - was a 3 star stay instead - average. Thank you!
The house is super cute and perfect for a nice get away. The second bedroom gets a little hot at night, but sleeping with the door opened helped. Overall great place and great location.
Wonderful and relaxing stay! Very nice, clean and cozy! Host was very helpful and responsive.
enjoyed our stay
The home overall was perfect for our family and an easy golf cart ride to the ocean.
Me and my kids drove 8 hours and when we all finally arrived, we walked in a very clean and welcoming home. After being on the road for that many hours with my kids, we immediately got in and relax before we start to unload and unpacking. This place was perfect for my little family. Highly recommended. This place reminded me of my home, surrounded by the water, beach and swimming pool very close by, grilling outside literally under the palm trees, shower outside right after the beach I mean we had the time of our life. If my family didn’t grew adding 2 more kids, we would’ve come back to this place but since we have 4 kids now we definitely gonna rent a bigger place in the area. This place was fantastic.
Cute place...there were a couple of things we had issues with. The description of the pool which is shared by at least 20 other units and they are very very small! The bbq pit needs to be replaced we had to buy one to use. The patio furniture is cheap and the bench was broken and we couldn't sit on it at all.
Great price, great location
This unit was clean, the property group management was very responsive on my questions and needs and more importantly, the location is one you cannot beat! Will certainly look into this location in the future!
Clean, cute, and close to town.
Plenty of parking for golf cart and boat Outside shower so you’re not getting everything Sandy and you could wash off all the kids beach toys and everything else. once you check in you’re not gonna wanna leave very family friendly surroundings.
Overall this is a great place. It is new and well taken care of. Unfortunately the $50 mandatory insurance fee after you book did not sit well with me. If it is in the listing I missed it and one more fee after all the others you already pay felt like a shakedown. The place also smelled like cigarettes. My father smoked for years and I am more sensitive than most to the stink, but this was over powering and unpleasant. The building also sways, a lot. The support stilts are not down into the ground and are bolted into a concrete foundation. Im sure it is good enough structurally, but if you get motion sick then this is not the place for you. Lastly, sand key appears to rely and scheduled form letters for notifications. They are very timely and very responsive, but the checkout instructions were not explicit about where the garbage dumpster was and by the time they got back to us we had left. We cleaned the place above and beyond but hated leaving our trash at the base of the stairs
Felt right at home at Sweet Home La Cabana! Clean and just what we needed. Close to the beach and to town, and perfect for winding down after a fun day. Hope to be back soon!
Great place. close to pool and easy walk to beach. Plenty of parking and very comfortable. $150 cleaning fee is not the best.
