Our Texas get away
Great location for peace and quiet. Very relaxing with easy access to the beach. Local cuisine was great. Rented a golf cart which was great being able to drive from the house almost directly to the beach. The house has a great layout! Definitely will rent again.Anonymous from Roanoke - Posted: 4/20/2025

Great house, great location!
We were very pleased with the location, cleanliness and comfort of this house. Location right on the beach - we had a golf cart but it’s not needed - just extra fun! Quick drive to many restaurants but we also cooked most of our meals. The kitchen was well appointed, even had a double oven! Very clean house. Property management was very friendly and responsive, we had them out to reset the router (the RV park has wifi but the house wifi was way better!). We also had them out to change batteries in a smoke alarm that started chirping midway through our stay (they replaced batteries in all detectors). The house is located in an RV park but not managed by the same staff, I didn’t know that until we left. The staff at the park are also really great, very friendly.Anonymous from Rochester - Posted: 1/30/2025

Beautiful beachfront home with great views and beach access
Home was very spacious and had great views of the Port Aransas beach. The private pool was nice and having an elevator helped getting items up to the third floor.Anonymous from Pflugerville - Posted: 9/6/2024

Fantastic house with a great view!
We stayed here with my in-laws and husbands grandparents. Our rental requirements were an elevator, private pool and view. This house did more than deliver! The grandparents felt comfortable using the elevator on their own and were able to enjoy all the amenities of the house! The view from the third floor was more than you could ask for and the pool was perfect! There was also plenty of privacy since there were separate bathrooms for us all. We will be staying again next summer!Anonymous from AUSTIN - Posted: 8/20/2024

Dazzling beachfront home
This property was amazing! The house was very clean and is fully stocked with all necessary kitchenware. Having the pool was a huge plus for our family of 8. I was glad that I had brought our own pool towels, there are none provided. The views are amazing! This place was perfect! We would definitely rent again.Anonymous from Miles - Posted: 7/14/2024

Great place
Great location with very easy nearby beach access. Good neighborhood with almost no traffic so great for the kids to ride bikes and play outside. Community pool is so warm it’s almost too warm and the pool at the house is nice too. Elevator is really nice too for bringing groceries to the third floor kitchen.Anonymous from Monmouth - Posted: 4/11/2024

Our Favorite Beach Destination
This was our third stay at License to Chill and we have already reserved it again for next summer so you can see we are extremely pleased with the property. It is clean, has a well provisioned kitchen, the pool is large enough for our entire family, and the view is outstanding. The elevator makes moving in and out a breeze, and the second fridge and 1/2 bath near the pool is a great amenity. The boardwalk is well maintained and large enough for golf carts. We will keep returning.Anonymous from SAN ANTONIO - Posted: 7/15/2023

Three years in a row and it never disappoints!
We’ve found this to be a perfect place for the extended family to gather for a few days. There is comfort and beauty throughout the house and the kitchen is stocked with everything one might need. The elevator has its own personality, so read the instructions and follow them to the letter.Anonymous - Posted: 7/6/2023

TAMUK College Graduation
Finding this gem was the absolute best for my family's gathering. The view was absolutely gorgeous, the home was to die for, and the area so peaceful. Renting the golf carts made it that much more exciting. We will definitely be back.

Best Port A house we've stayed in!
We frequently rent houses and condos in Port A, and this by far has been the best. Having all of the living space on the top floor was so nice because there was plenty of room for a large family to spread out and you look at stunning views all day. This house was also the most thoughtful and best stocked - meaning while usually rentals are stocked with the basics, this had everything and more you could want in even your house at home. We hosted Thanksgiving for our family here and there was plenty of serving dishes, cookware, plates, etc etc. There was nothing we needed that couldn't be found. The weather was terrible this trip, but with the stunning views and large living space, we still felt relaxed and enjoyed the views even though we were stuck inside. One note: The two primary bedrooms with en suite bathrooms are not on the ocean side which is unusual. In the end, it didn't bother us but worth noting if that's important to you. Also the bunk beds in one room appear to be more kid sized only, but there are plenty of large beds in the other rooms to pick from. However, if all the kids are teens this is something to consider. The house was very clean and in immaculate condition. I wasn't sure about the location being inside an RV park but if you aren't familiar with Gulf Waters, it's not your usual park - the spaces are owned and built out by owners, and there are requirements for RVs staying there so all are very nice. It was extremely quiet and very safe. This end of the island is much quieter than closer to town but it's a very quick drive to any restaurants or anything you need. Highly recommend this property.Anonymous from New Braunfels - Posted: 11/28/2022

A Wonderful 3 days with a License To Chill!!!!!!
Everything was perfect. The property was clean and ready to go when we got there. Everyone I can in contact with was very professional and friendly. This place is so wonderful, we did not even leave to go out to eat. Location, Location, Location!!!!! The amenities are great and the property inside is most beautiful. My family had a wonderful time and will certainly be returning.Anonymous from Garden City - Posted: 8/5/2022

Perfect for Large Family
This was our second trip to License to Chill and have already scheduled again for 2023, so you can see we really love this property. Clean, spacious, great views, boardwalk is close, and the private pool make it the perfect beach getaway.Anonymous from SAN ANTONIO - Posted: 7/16/2022

We chilled again this year, and will next year, too.
There were thirteen of us celebrating our annual family Fourth of July gathering. Our accommodations could not have been better, bedrooms, bathroms, well-appointed kitchen, two refrigerators all made for such a comfortable vacation. And having our own pool made it even better.Anonymous - Posted: 7/12/2022

Wonderful Family Vacation Property
This is a wonderful family vacation property located right on the beach. The house was very clean and equipped with everything a large group could need. The pool was also a huge asset especially in the afternoon when the beach got too hot. The only thing to be aware of is that if you are renting a golf cart only specific companies can bring them into the Gulf Waters subdivision so double check first. Port A Escapes had an easy check in and check out process and accommodated a late check in easily. We would recommend this for any large groups or families and would definitely rent it again ourselves.Anonymous from Dripping Springs - Posted: 6/22/2022

Really awesome vacation home
We loved License to Chill. It was just beautiful. Great location and near the beach. The pool was perfect and really added to our vacation. The kitchen was FULLY stocked and the place was very clean when we arrived. It's a little wonky to find as you have to drive thru the RV park to get to the home. Fantastic view of gulf. Hardly any negatives to report. The elevator was on the fritz a few times. Once we got used to operating it, it seemed to work ok. This was my first visit to Port Aransas and we loved it. The water was warm and clean and my entire family loved the waves.Anonymous from Metairie - Posted: 6/15/2022

seaside escape
This was a wonderful location for our entire family to enjoy! The only issue we had was that the elevator was broken. We were notified of the problem before we arrived and were given another option if we wanted to change locations. We opted to remain in this house and it all worked out fine. We had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at License to Chill!Anonymous from San Marcos - Posted: 5/4/2022

Exceptional
Prior to our arrival, Port A Escapes, the property manager, was very responsive to our questions. Easy check-in and even easier check-out via mobile app. The house, including kitchen, was well maintained, very clean, and very well appointed and stocked. Wonderful ocean views. Conveniently located to beach (short walk over a board walk, which also can handle beach buggies as well as pedestrians). Beach buggies available for rental and can be delivered. Private pool. A truly exceptional property providing a truly exceptional beach vacation. Thank you!!Anonymous from Austin - Posted: 8/25/2021

Beautiful Views
Enjoyed our four night stay at License to Chill. Wish there was a set of interior stairs to get to the first floor without having to use the elevator. Our group consisted of 13 adults and one infant. We couldn't get one of the TV's in the Master BR to work. The private pool was definitely worth our stay as we used it alot. I also felt the beach was less crowded. I would consider staying here again.Anonymous from San Antonio - Posted: 8/6/2021

Beautiful house and wonderful views
Beautiful house with wonderful views of the ocean. The main living area is on the upper level which provides unparalleled views of the ocean and beach. Unfortunately, we were there during incredibly cold weather and were unable to use the 3rd floor balcony or pool, but we look forward to staying again in the future as it is a great house for hosting a large group and for entertaining.Anonymous from Saint Louis - Posted: 2/17/2021

January Snapper trip
Absolutely wonderful property! Will book again! Next time I’ll bring trash bags and kitchen towels. There were only 3 bags for our stay, and no kitchen towels at all. However, the view alone makes up for the small stuff!Anonymous from Falls City - Posted: 1/21/2021

Sister's Memorial
The home was very nice and comfortable! We celebrated my sister's life, she passed away (9/28/20) ..., the home was great but it sure would of helped knowing there was an elevator upon arrival (after 10pm) owner Brenda (guessing) told us there was an elevator..., I wasn't looking for one! LOL! A sign over the "elevator door" would be helpful. Minor stuff, no toliet paper or towels, hair in the master bdrm shower and poor kitchen stuff (i.e. liquid soap, dish towels).., again minor stuff but for the $$ you'd expect these items to be there..., overall great home!Anonymous from Royse City - Posted: 11/10/2020
Thank you for your 5 star review and trusting Port A Escapes in celebrating your sister's life a memorable one. We have addressed all your minor stuff with housekeeping, as for the elevator sign I will get with the owner. We look forward in booking your next vacation getaway.Port A Escapes staff

New Favorite Property
License to Chill had absolutely everything we needed to enjoy our annual Father's Day trip to the coast. The house was spotless, the kitchen fully stocked, there were games outside and plenty of pool toys! We did have a few problems with the elevator and had to reset the breaker but we eventually figured it out.Anonymous from HELOTES - Posted: 6/24/2020

Amazing beachfront house
This is our 7th annual family vacation and we all agreed this was the best house yet. Lots of room and a gorgeous view. The pool kept the kids busy when we weren't at the beach. Well stocked kitchen. It took us a day to get figure out the elevator. The 2nd floor elevator door needs adjusting to stay tightly closed. Other than that easy fix, it was perfect.Anonymous from HIGHLAND VILLAGE - Posted: 6/18/2020

What a Great Place for a Wedding!!
License To Chill could not be set up any better for a small wedding celebration!! The downstairs outdoor COVERED patio was perfect for the ceremony. We had 44 chairs set up with plenty of room for all. The pool and dunes were a beautiful backdrop for the sunset wedding. The upstairs great room area was plenty big for the reception dinner and party. The large balcony provided extra room to enjoy the panoramic views of the Gulf. The elevator made wedding set up and moving guests a piece of cake. The house is decorated impeccably and has 6 bedrooms to help with housing guests. Parking was a little limited but we had guests park on the beach and easily shuttled them across the golf cart friendly boardwalk. We had a great weekend largely due to this fantastic property.Anonymous from Austin - Posted: 12/2/2019
Hi Jeff! We are glad Port A Escapes was able to be a part of the wedding celebration! Thank you for the review. The wedding sounded beautiful!Port A Escapes staff

Can you say PERFECT?
This home was perfect for our four generation gathering away from home for all. The home was beautiful, and exactly as advertised. We will definitely rent again in the future. Two nice-to-haves (safety wise) would be safety bars in the showers, and bars to hold onto getting in and out of the pool. This place is definitely a gem!Anonymous from San Antonio - Posted: 9/22/2019

License to Chill 2019
This is our third summer renting in Port A. My entire family said we hit it out of the ballpark. It was perfect for our special needs nephew. Also, having bedrooms on one floor and family gathering areas on top floor is a great idea. One large family room means nobody is left out of activities while allowing multiple groups if necessary.Anonymous from Colleyville - Posted: 8/8/2019

Fabulous pool!
The photos of this house do not do it justice, plus it now has a very large pool in the backyard. The house was definitely one of the best stocked home we have ever rented in Port A. TONS of serving platters, bowls, plates, coffee mugs, silverware. Everything you need for a house of this size.
My only recommendation would be to have instructions on the operation of the elevator, front door and cooktop. Maintenance was very responsive but renters shouldn't have to call to learn how to operate the cooktop. It is not intuitive and were a group of 12 women!
Guest should also be aware that the only way to get to the bottom level is via the elevator or to go outside and back through the garage. Not a reason to miss out on this fabulous home but something to be aware of.

Wkd with family and friends
Had a great time, house is beautiful, management company is responsive. Had a few issues and they responded in a timely manner. Unfortunately it was a holiday weekend and getting the proper people there to fix our problems was an issue, but that's understandable. Otherwise, was a great stay and the pool was completed just before arrival - literally minutes before we arrived - so that was a bonus!! (They did not promise that it would be complete)Anonymous from Austin - Posted: 5/29/2019

Perfection!
We had an amazing time staying at License to Chill. The house was immaculate, and is so beautifully decorated. The view from the 3rd level is out of this world! I could rest my eyes on that view forever! We want to come back when the private pool is finished. Overall, great stay and great accommodations.
