Howard L S. February 3, 2022

I took my kids and their spouses for a long weekend to the Pearl. The view was just what we wanted. We visited the beach but primarily stayed at the house due to Covid. The kitchen was fine for our cooking ( although we had to buy another coffee maker). We all enjoyed the house. This was a return visit as we had rented this house last year.

Cameron G. January 17, 2022

We stayed at the Pearl of Port A from Christmas through New Years as our "collective" gift. We had a party of 10 including our family with 4 young adults and then we had both sets of grandparents. Our goal was to enjoy the ocean and each other for a quiet relaxing week! The Pearl is a great house in a great location for a beach getaway. The house is configured for guests to relax with a view of the ocean on the 3rd floor as the primary living space and then the 2nd floor has most of the bedrooms. I would come here again in a heartbeat - very close access to the beach, and plenty of space on the beach to spread out. We rented 2 golf carts and used those to navigate to and from the beach and around town (legal routes only). As we are relatively frequent VRBO users I would add some suggestions compared to what my wife and I have experienced in other rentals to make the Pearl even better: 1. Check in process - not a big deal, staff was awesome but we drove in to the office to get a code for the garage. For code based rentals - which are common, could operate via text? 2. Upgrade and make the 3rd door entrance to patio fully accessible. This is actually really important for the flow of the house since this is the living area. We called and were told we could use the door but to be extremely careful - and we were, but I would offer taking this away as a limitation with a permanent solution would be great. 3. Hot tub is a great offering - we used it daily as we typically do on vacation. This one needs a lot of work, one of the spouts was not working so was covered up with a makeshift solution to keep water from draining off the backside. 4. Final recommendation - add posted signs for how to use the hot tub at or on the breaker box. This is what we typically see in vacation rentals and there are some extras on this hot tub that I didn't know what to do with. Hope this helps!

Good rental. Location, views etc very good. House was clean and easy to use. Easy check in. Hot tub and hot tub area could be cleaner. Sand in bottom of hot tub. Overall good though.

Brian N. April 3, 2022

What can I say. The house pretty, great view but I paid way to much for a house that had a lot of deffered maintenance that your maintenance people saw first hand. Doors warped, broken doors, fogged window that needed to be replaced, the closer on the storm was broken. The screens were gross. We never went into the hot tub for fear it wasn't properly taken care of. We are also locked out upon arrival and took over a hour for someone to get there to find out once you got in the garage you could go up the elevator (didn't know there was an elevator nor how to use it). One of the maintenance people had to help us figure out how to use the TV's It's a shame that the owner of this investment hasn't taken of this house. I suggested to management that the owner should have given us a partial refund. They never responded. We did have a good time in Port A

We loved how close this house was to the beach, how private and not crowded the beach area was, and the wide boardwalk so you can drive your golf cart to and from! The house was nice and is beautiful but some minor things that the owner could do would make a HUGE difference: curtains in the master to help with sunlight, trash cans in all rooms and bathrooms, bunk beds need more slats for support, TV's in all rooms need cable, door on top floor deck is super hard to open/close, extra blankets available. Fairly minor stuff that could make a big difference. We LOVED the beauty of the Gulf Waters area and the staff were great. Also great job to the staff of PortA Escapes! Helpful and friendly all around! We will be back to Gulf Waters for sure but may try one of the other homes.

Donna C. October 24, 2021

A great beach front house. Loved waking up to see the ocean. Great location. Just a short walk over the board walk to the beach. The house was spacious but could use a furniture update.

Nicole W. October 19, 2021

House was exactly as described- we had a great stay and enjoyed ourselves. The open family space was great for us all to hang out together!

Jane O. August 10, 2021

Beautiful house! We have stayed in many rentals and this had everything we needed. The main room with kitchen and living room is gorgeous. Be aware that the elevator was not available for our use and there are a lot of stairs, with the main living room as the top floor. Also it shows 2 garages but only 1 is available for use. The bathrooms were clean and very nice. Loved sitting out on the deck and its proximity to the beach is great. We rented a golf cart but it is a 20 minute ride down the beach to Port Aransas town center. We used it to go to the beach everyday which was really nice. We would definitely stay here again.

clean, great beds, elevator!

House was great. We have stayed at this house several times with our family and have always enjoyed our stay. Port a escapes always corrects anything that arises.

Stephanie D. March 4, 2021

The house was clean and had everything that we needed. We will definitely be coming back.

it was good,3rd floor door to the deck does not shut properly

Great views. It was ok but wouldn't stay there again. Doors to rooms are not solid so you can hear everything. Couldn't get spa to work.

Steve S. September 2, 2019

4 couples get together each year. Guys fish and girls shop. This place worked well for us. Plenty of room. Great porch to enjoy the sunset and cocktails. Very pleased

Sue T. June 21, 2019

The Pearl of PortA was the perfect setting for our annual Girlfriends Getaway! We enjoyed the glorious views, short walk to the beach, picturesque RV park with its lovely waterways and Tiki Huts, the house's delightful decor, beautiful kitchen , great table, TV sitting area, nice bedrooms and baths! Our favorite places to be were the balconies with their comfortable furniture and the sounds of the surf! Elevator was great for the move in. Nice pool... appreciated time out for adults only! Great helpful people at property manager and Gulfwater! The beach, restaurants, shops, weather, and relaxed atmosphere of Port A and Rockport did not disappoint! We are looking forward to our next stay! Thanks!

Jamie H. June 30, 2019

We had a few issues in the beginning and all were addressed and taken care of by property manager in a very timely manner. I highly suggest renting from property manager as they are really on top of it. Harry and the office staff were great!I would suggest to the owners to update some furniture pieces in the living area. Loved the large table in the dining area!A few outside pieces were broken. Not a lot of kitchen items- We bought or brought extra serving/mixing bowls, cooking utensils, cutting board, corkscrew, and cups. We mainly used paper plates and our own solo or styrofoam cups. Great views and enjoyed our visit! Will come again!

Michelle C. May 8, 2019

Property was great. Hot Tub could have been warmer. Loved that the place had a lift. There is no insulation so you can hear everything, but this was a family reunion so it was all good. The view of the ocean from the master bedroom was amazing. We did have a lovely family reunion and would recommend this home. Very close to the beach, five min walk. It's in an RV Park, we didn't mind. Everyone was incredibly nice.

Anonymous November 2, 2019

We love this house. We were not happy that the hot tub was not clean upon arrival and finally three calls later someone came to clean it. I think that I wouldn't have been so upset if the property manager had just communicated with me rather than feeling ignored. That is not my typical experience with property manager and will let this go. We will be back because we love the house and location for our family. Porch furniture is getting older and needs replaced. One chair broke and several others were unusable.

Frances G. August 16, 2017

Excellent.
The house was well furnished with all amenities as well as being very comfortable with 2 or all 10 of us. With a balance problem to deal with, the elevator was a welcome solution. We did have trouble finding our entry into a luxury RV Park. A bit unexpected. Also a fire alarm battery failed one morning about 4:00am. We informed management and they sent someone to repair the next day.

Beautiful home with amazing ocean view. The home is new and well decorated. The beds were all comfortable and there was space for everyone. We loved the 2 decks and view. Loved having aan elevator. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone.

A few things to note, there is a bedroom on ground floor that has no interior connection, we were going to use the room for kids but didn't feel comfortable so far away. 7 of the beds are twins. The doors do not block any noise. If someone is in the bathroom on 3rd floor everyone can hear. Also recommend renting a beach buggy for trips to the beach and taking out trash.

This home is not brand new and they shouldn’t be able to advertise as such. It’s a nice house, but has wear and tear and at least a couple years old. Also, this house is listed as non-smoking, but you can smell stale smoke the moment you walk in the garage and there were cigarettes in an ash tray on the porch. However, this review is mainly regarding the poor property management. We rented the property for 2 nights at NYE. We showed up to the house at 5pm and it was 58 degrees inside. Spending close to $800/nt, you would hope property management would turn the heater on for you. At bedtime for our small kids (1, 2, and 4) the house had only reached 63 degrees. We called property management and they sent out their HVAC guy to make sure everything was running smoothly. The outcome was the system isn’t strong and we just had to bundle and wait. At midnight I think the house finally reached 70 degrees. Also, the house was stocked with near to nothing! There were 2 towels in the whole 5 bed, 3 bath house! There weren’t even hand towels to dry your hands. No hand soap in bathrooms, no laundry detergent, 1 dishwasher sample to use at checkout, no extra blankets and 10 hangers for the whole 5 bed house! There weren’t even batteries in the remote! We were in awe. We love to travel and have stayed in many homes and have never experienced anything like this. Another strange thing is on the 2nd day, we went out to explore the area and when we returned it was obvious someone had been in the house. Pretty creeped out, I called property management and they said that they sent housekeeping over to clean up the patio cigarette butts and a maintenance guy to place batteries in the remotes. They never gave us any heads up and I had left out my purse and valuables. This made us feel very uncomfortable.

Needless to say, we would never stay here again or with any Port A Escapes property. Paying $2200 for 2 nights and to deal with this, it was a joke.

Our stay was almost perfect. This house is adorable and the view is spectacular. The elevator is a lifesaver for unloading the heavy things to the third floor. Do yourself a favor and rent a beach buggy. It is so fun and makes the trips to the beach easier especially with little ones.

Kim B. June 14, 2017

Beautiful 3 story home on the beach. Outstanding 180 degree views of the beach from the wonderful outside decks. House is brand new and is tastefully decorated. The beds are excellent...I've never slept so well. The house is a 5 minute walk across the boardwalk from the beach, but I do recommend pre-ordering a golf cart, as it makes frequent beach trips and carrying gear a lot easier. Just a beautiful stay.

Pamela P. July 24, 2018

Beautiful home with great views! The kitchen was well equipped and the house is furnished beautifully. Bed were comfortable with nice fluffy pillows. Just a few things I wish had been provided...more bath and kitchen towels. A few more blankets and a baby gate for the stairway. Overall our family had a wonderful time and made many great memories. We would love to come back and we will high recommend this home to family and friends.

Excellent - loved the house & Port A Escapes was awesome to work with

Anonymous July 8, 2018

We have rented from Port A Escapes on several occasions. Their staff are always helpful and friendly. I appreciate the conventient text notifications you receive leading up to and during your stay. It has been an annual tradition for our family to visit Port Aransas around July 4th. While you have to be careful with some listings, this home has a true unobstructed view of the beach. We were slightly disappointed with a few items in this home. The downstairs room is marketed as a”bedroom” however it is not connected to the home through an interior and the room has an exterior entry door on the side of the home with no window covering. . We were intending to use this as a sleeping room, but no one felt comfortable. The call function on the elevator was not consistent. We were traveling with my 84 year old grandmother and there were times we could get her down to the ground level, but not back up. There was not a single glass bowl or plate provided in the home to reheat items in the microwave. Another factor in the home we selected was televisions. With different sleep schedules and morning/evening routines several wanted a TV in their room. When going to bed the first evening we realized there was not a cable box in 2 of the rooms, and ended up playing ring around the rosey switching rooms. The grounds of the resort the home is located in is very well taken care of

Beautiful house. A few electronics did not work. 2 DVD players and a tv did not work and the dishwasher did not work but overall the house was great and we would stay there again.

BJ H. August 13, 2018

HOUSE WAS PERFECT, we really enjoyed our stay...

sherry s. July 24, 2018

We enjoyed our stay at the Pearl; it was clean and close to the beach. The only element of the home that I would change is, the doors to the bedrooms and the bathrooms. They are constructed of shutters, which removes all privacy. Also, one last bit of advise - take mosquitoe spray! The mosquito population is out of control.
