After Dune Delight PP839

The house was in a great location. It had everything we needed. The accommodations were comfortable and gave us plenty of room. We look forward to coming again.

We booked this property with our friends and all of our kiddos! We were outnumbered by the kids, but this house had plenty of places for them to play. All of the rooms were clean and spacious. We especially loved the kitchen/ main floor balcony, how it all felt like one with the huge windows. We didn't end up walking to the beach, just a tad too far for the kiddos but a very short drive and easier on our group.

The rental was so comfortable and a great location to the beach. It took 10 minutes to walk to the beach.

House is as described and is backed up to the sand dunes with a walk across the boardwalk to the beach. The boardwalk is difficult to navigate if you are carrying large items or small children. It is however a 2 minute drive to the beach which we found more convenient to do. 2nd floor view is mostly blocked by sand dunes and another building. 3rd floor views are good and you can see and hear the waves. Kitchen could use more cutting boards and blender was broken upon arrival. Be mindful of notes about the fridge. It does take some time to cool down groceries, so plan accordingly on when and how much you buy when you arrive. Overall a great place to stay and would definitely book again.

We have rented this wonderful home for several years. The layout is great, lot of space and backs up to the dunes.

We all had a great stay. The house was roomy and comfortable, and the balconies were amazing. Our five-year-old niece was so overwhelmed when she walked out that she declared "the world is amazing!". She's right about that!

Super cute! Thank you so much for staying with us at Port A Escapes!!

We love this property and have stayed there multiple times: with relatives, with a friend for our son, and by ourselves. It's more than enough room for our immediate family, but we've gone back on our own because it's a great house perfectly situated behind the dunes and in a relatively quiet cul-de-sac.

Since we're been staying there since 2019, we can comment on the upkeep. In general, the property's still in great shape. But for some reason, the dishwasher has taken a beating, and the lower rack especially needs to be replaced. We also noticed on this visit that there were fewer kitchen amenities--fewer mugs, missing things like cookie sheets and extra pots and pans that had been there in the past.

Still, I expect we'll stay there again for the great views, wonderful layout, and overall relaxing experience.

Great House Great location! We had a blast super easy access to the beach and close to shops. We plan on making it a annual trip!

Anonymous from Austin - Posted: 7/11/2020

Our family felt comfortable in this large home right over the dunes from the beach. Access was just steps away (there are a lot of steps), but we still used a vehicle to help cart all of our stuff to the beach.

The house was great! Easy to find, very clean! Beds were all nice and comfy and nice bathrooms. Over all we had a great time and loved the house.

Our family of 5 plus my in-laws stayed here right after Christmas and had a very enjoyable stay! The house is very spacious and has great views of the ocean from the upstairs balcony. The home was clean and stocked with essentials (joust be sure to bring laundry detergent). The management is very responsive if something should arise. Overall, a great home with great views -we would definitely rent it again!

A terrific house with more than enough room for our group of four adults and three kids. Stocked with extra amenities we weren't expecting (dish soap, extra trash bags and paper products, etc.). Nicely appointed kitchen with more than enough glasses, plates, etc. all in great shape. Beds and linens were clean and comfortable. Loved sitting out on the back deck in the mornings and evenings and enjoying family dinners around the generous dining table inside. Very, very clean except for the discarded water and Gatorade bottles in the kids' room closet. The television set didn't work upon our arrival (outlet was faulty), but the property management had someone out very quickly and without disrupting our day. Lots of stairs, which was okay for us but something we didn't really think about until we saw them in person. Walk to beach is also along a boardwalk with many steps up and down. (Took a middle-aged adult carrying a beach bag, chair and towel about 6-8 minutes door to door in the heat of the day.) We had planned to rent a golf cart anyway, but potential renters with lots of young or old guests may want to keep this in mind. All in all a terrific home that we hope to return to again.

Gorgeous, clean, and spacious home. Fit 3 families perfect with plenty of space. Back deck was our favorite place to hang out with plenty of seats and space. Boardwalk to beach is right next door, took us 6 minutes from front door to sand walking at our toddlers pace. Lots of stairs the entire boardwalk FYI. We came down for Sandfest which was within walking distance still. Only issues that came up were we had problems getting into home originally but someone was sent to us right away to help. WiFi didn’t work which was a bummer because absolutely none of us had any cell service. Other than that it was a perfect stay

Our family of 6, all adults, spent a weekend at this property in January. Location is perfect with a boardwalk 2 doors down to the beach and a short ride to the restaurants in Port Aransas. The garages are almost 4 tandem spaces- we were able to get 2 small cars in one bay and just one vehicle in the other. The second floor has a wonderful large great room with seating for more than 6 in the living area, huge dining table that was great for board games, and the large kitchen. We used the oven, coffee maker and dishwasher which worked fine. The master suite is on the second floor as well. Third floor has 3 bedrooms, one is ensuite and the other 2 share a jack and jill bath. Plenty of seating on the decks. We all really like the property and would stay again.

Every one was completely happy. Nice view from the third floor.Great television set on the second level.
All four of us agreed that we would return next year.

Very nice comfortable beach home. Plenty of room to relax after a day on the beach or fishing trip in the bay. Loved the large kitchen which was well equipped and the table that could seat 10 people. Hope to be able to stay here again next summer.

Great location and nice house for large groups. Would definitely recommend it!

Anonymous from Houston - Posted: 9/8/2018

Nice house with lots of room. We had a group of 11 and had plenty of room. The location is close to the beach. We used the boardwalk a couple times, but I wouldn't recommend trying to lug all your beach stuff. We drove to the beach which is right around the corner. We were a little disappointed with the views. The sand dune pretty much blocks the view of the beach and ocean. You can see a little from the upper balcony, but not much. Other than that we were satisfied with our stay.

This home was just amazing. There were 7 adults and 3 kiddos. We even had beds to spare since most of little ones slept with parents. I can not say one bad thing about this place or change a thing. We are definitely talking about returning soon. GREAT STAY!!!!

2nd time we’ve stayed at this beach house!!! Great location, close enough to the beach for a quick trip back for afternoon naps for the grandkids and the nice,quiet cup de sac make evenings on the deck the perfect end to your day. Large, open floor plan and decks with an awesome view.
The four bedrooms make it great for large famlies!!!

After Dune Delight is a lovely home! It was spotless and completely ready for our stay. I loved the porches. The 2nd floor porch had a better view of the ocean. I enjoyed reading on that deck. The large kitchen table was great for meals and games. The beds were so comfortable and fit our family perfectly. I was somewhat disappointed with the long walk on the boardwalk to the beach- it is a hike! We drove and parked on the beach like everyone else. Having a golf cart available would be a wonderful addition to the house.
The decor and pictures are lovely.

We had a great vacation in Port A! The home we rented was amazing! It had everything we needed for cooking, entertaining, and just plain relaxing! The rental was so centrally located to everything, restaurants, the beach, gas stations and golf cart rental! So convenient!

The inside of this house went above and beyond anything we could have asked for. Some small hurricane damage outside,didn't affect the inside at all. Wish we'd known the boardwalk to the beach was not usable because we had to go buy beach parking permits for cars. Not something we'd thought we needed.

Over the years we have rented many beach houses, this was by far the best! Perfect condition, clean, easy access to the beach, easy to check in and out, which make for a great visit. Will definitely rent again. Port A. is the best!

The home is almost new in a great location and you get to use the garages, which is very covenant.
Gas bar B Que is hard to work but that was the only down fall. I would recommend this home.

After Dune Delight was the perfect place for our family of 8 adults + 1 infant to spend a long weekend in Port A. The large deck attached to the kihchen and living area was great for cooking, grilling and then enjoying the view of the gulf as we ate! Plenty of room for all, close cart ride to the beach and the use of the enclosed garage was an added bonus for storage of our beach stuff as a storm blew in one of the nights we were there.

The house is just as beautiful as pictured. All the beds were comfortable. The porches were lovely with nice views and great furniture. Convenient to walk and drive to the beach. Kitchen was roomy and well laid out. Laundry room upstairs was a great bonus. Great closet space and extra half bath downstairs was convenient. Only negatives were water pressure was very low if more than one person was showering at the same time, and when we all came back from the beach at the same time everyday that happened a lot!

Our family enjoyed this beach house-it was vety comfortable, clean and had lots of light. There are a considerable number of stairs, especially when going to the beach. Thete are beach views, not beachfront.

We had a great time in Port A! The house was perfect for our large group - 7 adults and two toddlers. The kids had plenty of wide open spaces to play, the adults enjoyed the porches. A bonus was the porches on the beach side are totally kid proof, so no worries about your child falling off a second or third floor. The house had plenty of bath towels and toilet paper. I will bring my own trash bags next time, we only had two to start with and that wasn't enough for our group. Property was clean, beds were comfortable and the kitchen was great for us all to cook in. The staff was friendly and accommodated us very well. Great location, access to the beach and an easy drive into town. We will be back!

Great location for my family

Anonymous from San Antonio - Posted: 2/5/2017

Great house. Very clean. Its in a small neighborhood with a dedicated boardwalk to get over the (substantial) dunes to the beach - if you don't mind stair climbing.
The dunes here are so large that they do partially obstruct the view from the main floor but the second floor deck is so high that it is a clear view. Very comfortable house good for large group. Very easy check in and check out. Great Rental company.

Property was as advertised-new & clean with all essentials. Location was excellent with close access to the beach and to town. The large living / kitchen area was very comfortable and allowed our group to spend quality time together. We all got in our exercise with the many steps involved but overall the property was great and we enjoyed our stay. A short drive to Rockport was exciting in that we were able to see at least 9 different Whooping Cranes while visiting Aransas Wildlife Park. In addition, the Padre Island National Seashore Park is also worth the short drive. WE will return !

Great time and fun. The condo did not have enough towells on arrival. They were delivered after Thanksgiving day. Thank you. The trash can out front was almost full on our arrival. Everything else was outstanding. It is a beautiful condo and the size and arrangement of beds worked well for our family group of ten. Easy access to beach was a plus also we had a nice view from top balcony of the ocean. We will try and come back in two years.
