The property was exactly as described, clean, well maintained, and ready for our arrival. Any questions we had were answered quickly, and the level of customer service really stood out.

Thank you to the entire Life in Paradise team for your outstanding hospitality. We look forward to booking with you again!

The dish washer smelled rotten, the ceiling fans were covered in dust and the furniture looked dirty and from the 70's. The internet would not work. The lights didn't work.

It could be nice with a little cleaning and updated furniture wouldn't cost that much.

The Dancing Dunes in Port Aransas is a true gem. My family of 4 has been coming here for several…read moreyears and our 3 night stay was memorable. 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 stayed at Costa Del Rey 102 and the rooms were decent for what we needed them for. The overall appearance was clean and nice. It was well equipped with everything we need for cooking and our stay. We will be booking through this company again for future visits! Side note, it is my understanding that Starkey Properties does not manage the actual property just the condo I hope they make the actual property owner aware that the pool is not being serviced, it was filthy. This wasn't a huge deal because we spent most of out time at the beach but it still would have been nice to spend a day at the pool.

Peaceful when we wanted peace; fun when we wanted fun. No need to fuss over whether or not I brought everything I needed for the beach. If I forgot something or needed to pee - the house was 200 yards away. Everyone could kind of do their own thing (chill on the deck in the sun or take a nap in the shade, post up on the beach, watch a movie, cook) and at the same time, there was room for everyone to be a family together in the evening. We did The Black Marlin for dinner the first night (spectacular food and pretty good service). We also took advantage of the kitchen for a home-cooked meal the second night. I'm a pretty picky eater and a picky cook, and this kitchen had all the equipment I needed for the weekend. Most importantly - it was the best two nights of sleep I have had in a long, long time. So relaxing.

It was equipped with a fridge, microwave, and dishes. The host also included extra towels, beach towels, dishwashing liquid for the dishes, shower necessities and a broom to sweep if we wanted. I loved the extra outdoor shower to rinse the sand off and the porch chairs to sit and relax. Although it had WiFi, I loved that it did not have a television as I caught up on some reading (I had an iPad and headphones for hubby to watch Netflix ). Book on Airbnb and find this gem, Flora outdid herself fixing this place up. I also loved the original paintings.

La La Land was a gorgeous home and we would definitely stay at this unit again. Unfortunately, our most recent stay included several service and maintenance issues that impacted the experience. While the staff was courteous, response times were challenging when problems arose. The most significant issue occurred on our final night when multiple fire alarms sounded in our unit for an extended period of time while we were traveling with an infant and toddler. Because maintenance was not immediately available on-site, it took quite some time to resolve the situation. I truly believe our experience would have been very different had maintenance personnel been available on the property to respond more quickly to urgent issues. For a resort of this size and caliber, having faster on-site maintenance support would greatly improve the guest experience and help prevent minor issues from becoming major disruptions. Cinnamon Shore has so much potential to provide an exceptional vacation experience, and I hope management continues investing in the operational side of the resort to match the beauty of the property itself.

Very Disappointing Stay -- Property Was Not as Advertised…read more Property: Salt and Horns by Silver Sands Vacation Rentals Address: 845 Park Place, Port Aransas, TX 78373 Unfortunately, our stay at this property was extremely disappointing. The home is advertised as a higher-end Port Aransas vacation rental with amenities such as a private pool and hot tub, but what we experienced did not match what we felt was represented when booking. During our stay, we encountered numerous problems: * Pool was not working and was not clean * Hot tub did not work * Outside stair handle was broken * Back door handle was broken, and doors did not properly work or lock * Master bathroom toilet would not flush properly * Downstairs toilet was loose/wobbly and did not flush properly * Back sliding door would not lock at all * Broken chair on the patio * Wasp nests around the patios * Trash around the perimeter of the property * Refrigerator would not shut properly and the light did not work * Dishwasher smelled terrible * Open cereal/food was left in the cabinets * Most concerning, bunk-bed steps came loose while a child was climbing them Some of these are inconveniences, but others are legitimate safety and security concerns, especially doors that do not lock and bunk-bed steps failing while a child is using them. When families spend their hard-earned money on a vacation rental, especially one advertised at this level, they should reasonably expect the major amenities to work and the property to be clean, secure, and properly maintained. The location has a lot of potential, but based on the condition we experienced, we cannot recommend 845 Park Place in Port Aransas without significant improvements being made. Our biggest disappointment wasn't that one or two things went wrong -- things happen. It was the number of problems throughout the property and the feeling that many of them should have been caught before guests were ever allowed to check in.
