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.

Fabulous place to stay. We traveled to Port A without booking a hotel. Drove around and stumbled on…read morethe Beachgate. When we walked into the office we were greeted by wonderful staff members who gave us a great room at a great price due to it being off season. It was fabulous. Our room had a small balcony with side view of the beach, large refrigerator, coffee maker, toaster and microwave. The bathtubs were amazing. Deep enough to get a full soak which was great after a long drive. It was attached to a one bedroom efficiency which also had a refrigerator and kitchen appliances. The property is RIGHT on the beach! Plenty of rooms to choose from. You can book a one bedroom condo and add two additional (attached) one bedroom efficiencies which also have bathrooms, kitchen appliances and a full refrigerator. Great for large groups. Everyone can stay together and still have privacy. They also have laundry facilities on site and in some of the condos. AND they welcome dogs! $25 per dog per night. We had boarded our dogs. Next time they are coming with us! The property is within walking distance to a restaurant too. Great HEATED pool and jacuzzi as well. Special shout out to MIRANDA who assisted us with finding the right room for a return visit. Coordinated with other staff to show us three options for our next stay in May. Highly recommend this place. The reviews of the Beachgate (on Yelp) do not represent this property accurately.

This time around my sister and brother in law and thier kids also came along for the first time. Becky the property manager greeted us as we arrived at our 4pm check-in. She explained everything in detail and walked us through the cabin and made us feel very welcomed. The unique one story cabins are arranged in a horseshoe configuration and are named according to their theme, and in the middle a beautiful courtyard is shared with gueats. We actually stayed in their latest newly remodeled two story cabin called The Marlin. It's located right next to the main property. At night it's very safely lit and your vechicals are parked under the structure. It sleeps 10 with two full baths and all the amenities you need to make your stay enjoyable. It has a second story large balcony and a small third story balcony as well. Access to the beach is at walking distance or a short drive. After hurricane Harvey the cabins sustained damage and there was even a waterline marker when the storm surge came in. After alot of hard work and tireless vollenteers the newly remodeled cabins are better than ever. Becky was even kind enough to show us inside The Rock and Roll cabin and the remarkable improvements they made. The Dancing Dunes is highly recommend which ever cabin you stay in. Check out their Facebook page or website to make reservations in advance because they do fill up quickly. We're definitely coming back next year and can't wait to make memories again.

We enjoyed our stay here. Quiet property, cute and comfy. Very friendly front office staff. The…read morespace is tight and there's no real living room, but we had enough room for our group of 5. The rooms had window AC units and a fan in each. We had no issues with the cooling system at all. Location was also great, close to the beach, shops, and restaurants. They also offer a pool pass at a nearby property. Only thing I would say to pay attention to is that EVERYONE in the place must be 23+ unless with a guardian. We were all over the age limit, but the occupants next to us had to leave because some were under 23.

Kitchen was stocked with dinning and cooking stuff but bring your own spices. Place was clean,soft beds with nice enough linens. Don't plan on anyone sleeping on the futon couch, very uncomfortable. Now the shoe drop. It was unbearably hot in the room. They have small window units in each room that are loud and don't work worth a damn. Middle of July over 100 outside crappy AC is not a good mix. If your going in the cooler months it's fine for the price but avoid in mid summer.

The unit itself, number 41, featured furniture that looked like it was from resale shops. Beat up, old, and basically depressing. That said, the paint on the walls, the kitchen, the bathrooms were upgraded, clean and nice. The area rugs were a little worn and dirty. Just a little depressing for me. Note that there is no shampoo, hair dryer, or any of that sort of small luxury in this unit. You will have to bring your own. Would not return to this particular unit.

We were extremely disappointed with the condition of the home upon arrival. The property was not…read moreaccurately represented in the listing, and several issues raised serious safety and habitability concerns for our family. We found evidence of mold, rotting doorframes, exposed electrical outlets, exterior doors with severely rusted or missing doorknobs, and bunk beds that were unstable due to missing screws. We booked the home as a family with 3 children ages 3 and under, which clearly there were safety concerns upon arrival. Outside of those concerns, the furniture was stained and filthy and the whole place wreaked of bleach. We documented everything and contacted the hosts as we packed up and left to find another place to stay. Unfortunately, they denied our refund request and eventually stopped responding altogether. We then escalated the issue to Airbnb support. To Airbnb's credit, after reviewing the documentation and condition of the property, they ultimately refunded us in full. The entire situation was stressful and not at all what we expected when booking this home. The listing needs to be removed from all platforms until thoroughly addressed, and the management company needs new leadership in place. I cannot recommend them in the meantime.

Each of them is almost identical in style (2 bdrm, 2 bath down and a small kitchen/dining/living area with a loft up stairs). There are some issues with smells at times (I've been told to skip Nana's Nest), but we haven't had a "terrible" experience like others. I've stayed in Hula Hut (a fave! especially if you get the bottom bungalow to go with), Hang Ten, Arrowhead, and my parents enjoyed Villa4Rita. Not all of them have an ocean view, but you get close enough. The pool is always a hit with the kiddos and is clean and friendly. It has a safe feeling because there is one way in and out, but still watch for traffic. TIP: This is very nice if you're on a budget and I would recommend contacting Beachcombers at www.stayinporta. com if you want the easiest search method and NO FEES.

I will NOT stay there again because there is zero neighborhood security, and our experience was ruined by a massive family throwing all-night raging parties throughout the weekend. We couldn't use the pool because it was taken over by the party crowd, and we were forced to deal with the loud music, loud children, loud, drunk "adults" until the wee hours of the morning. During the daytime, the children were free to continuously honk the horns on those ever-present golf carts. I tried calling 311, but they never sent anyone out. It sucked.

Longing for surf and sand, we scheduled a long weekend in Port Aransas and found a fantastic house within 5 minutes of the beach. "Villa 4 Rita" is dog friendly and can sleep a total of eight. The setup includes two bedrooms, one with a queen bed and the other with twin beds. An open loft sleeps 4 but it has a low ceiling and the stairs are treacherous. Melissa made our trip fantastic. We got her take on restaurants and took her up on a few of her suggestions. Check in and check out were as easy as the beach breeze.
