Could use some kitchen towels and basic spices but it was no big deal as we brought most of our own. Lots of stairs in case that makes a difference for some. Carpeting in many areas if you are allergy prone. Many games and areas in the house to spread out yet still be together. We loved the place and would rent again . Beautiful porch and chairs to enjoy especially in the evening. Close to boardwalk to beach for walking or using a golf cart if you rent one.

We stayed at Bella Vista - Managed by SILVER SANDS VACATION RENTALS - in Port Aransas in April…read more2026, paying a lot for a rental that fell far short of what we paid for. When we arrived, the property had not been properly cleaned or inspected. Issues we encountered included: * Sheets with hair on them * FILTHY floors throughout the home - not sand from the beach, dirt from floors that had not ben mopped or cleaned. We had to wear socks most of the trip to keep our feet clean. * A dead, decaying bird on the patio by the pool * A dirty grill (and no way to clean it) * A dirty pool we never once used * Dirty appliances * Non-functioning ceiling fans, stove burners, and bedroom lights * Most TVs not working * 2nd floor patio door that wouldn't open A technician was sent to address the TV issues and we want to be fair -- he was polite, worked hard, and also cleaned the grill and removed the dead bird. We appreciated his effort. However, he had to come in and out of the house most of the day, which significantly disrupted our family vacation. We also had to spend our first hours their washing bedding for seven bedrooms. A property manager never came to the home or has ever contacted us. We were told they weren't feeling well that day, which we understand -- things happen. But with nearly a dozen issues, many of them cleanliness problems that should have been caught before check-in, it would have meant a great deal to have a manager acknowledge the situation. We have yet to hear from anyone from Silver Sands regarding this. We reached out to Silver Sands Vacation Rentals regarding the issues and they did not respond appropriately. For what we paid (including a $600 cleaning fee), we deserved a clean, well-maintained, operational and properly inspected home. We had many other properties to choose from and wish very much that we had chosen differently. We would NOT recommend this property or this management company based on our experience and will not stay at a Silver Sands Property again.

When I needed a realtor to sell my condo I googled "Best Realtor in Port Aransas". Keith was #1. I…read morecan tell you from my own experience google was absolutely RIGHT! He communicated with me throughout the listing and the sale. My place was on the market LESS than a month. His skill of advertising and getting buyers is the BEST. I got a low bid and he took command and got me 14k MORE! He walked me through step by step and never left me with questions unanswered. I can not say a negative thing about my experience. I live 3000 miles away so trusting him with every aspect of the sale was HUGE! NEVER LET ME DOWN! If you want to sell your property this is the guy for you!

Selling my property, the title company didn't bother to discuss the extra $30k lien on the title to…read morefind out from me if it was valid. The HOA builder put a fraudulent lien on my unit stemming from a scheme to profit off Harvey damage that I refused to participate in. When I questioned why they only confirmed with the builder if the lien was valid, they informed me it was in the middle of an attachment among the many other attachments they sent me and they had no obligation to affirmatively check with me about whether the lien was valid and that level of notification was adequate, even if they have no record I opened the document since it's not signed, and there was no email discussion around the issue. Whomever processed the file didn't recognize that regardless of whether the lien was valid, if it was stale it was unenforceable. We did get it straightened out at the last second, so they get 2 stars for that, but this was completely avoidable and a little basic communication would have resolved this quickly and easily.

They provided false information about the costs of managing the property to get us to buy. In order to avoid legal action, Marnie adjusted their property management rate, but after a few years decided they were not making enough money off of us to continue to manage. She then breached our contract that stated our booked guests were portable and stole all of our booked guests. She refused to provide full financial disclosure of our property's rental income and refused to review accounting discrepancies that have led us to believe her management company was skimming money from us. In addition, we found our property to have been completely neglected by her management company. Every appliance in the house was broken in some way, yet we were never informed. Guests reviews were so bad we couldn't transfer the reviews to a new listing.
