Pros:
- Short walk to the beach, with private boardwalk
- Lots of rooms
- Most rooms matched expectations from the pictures
- Bathrooms and bedrooms appeared clean and orderly
Cons:
- Front door was very difficult to open. It often stuck and you had to pull very hard to open or close
- Kitchens counters did not appear clean, so we had to clean them when first arriving
- Dishwasher had dirty dishes in it
- Flooring had a few issues. The main dining area had a few planks that were either shifted or were pulling up on the edges. Additionally, there was various spots throughout the whole first floor that had "soft" spots. The biggest offender was the master bedroom, which was soft from entering the room and all the way reaching the bed, some of which were as large as a person's foot (tripping concern).
- Ping Pong table was uneven/broken. We could not use it, which was a huge bummer because we were hoping to play it a lot.
- Room that had the ping pong table did not look like the pictures. It was sandy and dirty. It was also hot since it was in the garage, and the one fan did not work.
- One of the arcade games was also broken.
- Dryer was broken. It had significant moisture in the dryer drum and lint screen. They did offer to send maintenance to look into fixing it, but due to only staying for a short time, it was going to become more of a hassle to schedule.
- Ants in the kitchen. A huge trail led from a back wall to the stove.
- ROACHES!! First night, as soon as the sun went down, we encountered 5 different roaches. On the walls, on the kitchen counters, in and around the couch, bathrooms, we found a roach almost everywhere. We notified the management and they did send pest control. Even following their treatment, we still had roaches afterwards.
- Before any meal or using any dish, we had to clean them because there were so many bugs everywhere and we could not be certain they had not gotten back on the dishes. So it was always clean, use, and then clean again for any meal or snack, which is not much of a vacation to clean due to bugs.
Out of our family group, we have stayed in this Port Aransas area at various other beach houses, and have never encountered bugs like this.
