Disappointed Vacationers

Comment: We were extremely disappointed with the location of the house. I think the management company should have told us that the house backed up to a busy highway! Had we known, we would NEVER have rented it!! The house itself was roomy and well laid out and the furnishings were nice. The bed in the master was not comfortable-too much movement. Housekeeping was NOT good! The windows were very dirty and the patio had not been swept in a long time. The area rug in the living room was very soiled and there was dirt under the sofas. The bathroom rugs were full of sand. The barbeque grill was so filthy that it had to be scrubbed before it could be used! Management definately needs to be checking the condition of their properties before people check in.

Comment: This house appears small but was perfect size for all 10 of us. Perfectly located next to the pool and not too far from the beach. House was clean and everything worked. The entire family loved the house and we will be back!

Comment: The house itself was absolutely everything a vacationer with a large family could ask for. The house is absolutely beautiful and had all the amenities needed to accomodate us in all aspects. The only complaint that we have is the pool near the house. It was not clean/maintained. The bottom was discolored and after talking with others who were staying in the subdivision and had stayed before, it appears that the pool is always this way. Other than this pool, it was a wonderful experience.

Sea Turtle was all you could ever want.

Comment: We stayed for 3 nights at the lovely Sea Turtle house. From the moment you walk in, you just start smiling. Nice furniture, huge TV, well stocked kitchen, beautiful bedrooms with cute linens. We used the washing machine to wash our sandy swimsuits and sprayed off our car and feet with the hose that was located near the doorway. Showers had good water pressure and althought the house is near HWY 361, did not hear the street noise. Used pool to rinse off after the beach, little bit crowded with small children and their parents. Parking was good for the three cars that stayed at the house, some houses in this area have poor parking, but not at the turtle. Would stay again in future. I have stayed at Port Royal, Mustang Royal, Village Walk and Coral Cay in the past and the Sea Turtle outshines all the rest.

Loved our beach getaway

Comment: We loved our getaway and the Sea Turtle was a great part of our enjoyment. Everything was handled very well by the Port A staff. We were truly pleased with the accommodations. The only complaint we had is that the floors were a little dirty in the main living room. Not unacceptable, just a bit of build up under the couch, where our 4 year old kept losing things! But we will definitely come back for our next beach getaway... Thanks!

I ask specifically for a home with easy access to the beach because we had a 16 month old and a preg

Comment: When I called to request another property, the manager was very snooty and did not offer to try to help. I would never call them again.

Cute beach house with a great kitchen!

Comment: This would be a great cottage for two couples with kids. There are two bedrooms downstairs, each with its own bath. The kids can all be upstairs - one room is full of bunkbeds, the other has a pull-out couch (although its mattress is almost non-existent). For those who like to cook - the kitchen is perfect. We really liked this cottage!

Lovely Beach House

Boerne, tx, United States [08/19/2009]

Over All	Management	Cleanliness	Location	Condition	Recommend

Comment: The home is beautifully decorated & all the bathrooms, oven, stove, garbage disposal, T.V.'s etc... were in good working order when we arrived. My only complaints are the road noise from the highway behind the house & no Gulf or beach view. I would stay there again but for a lower rental amount, or off peak period.

Sea Turtle is nice. Location of Sea Turtle not so much.

Comment: We really enjoyed staying at the Sea Turtle over the 2009 Christmas vacation. It was in excellent condition. The only complaint we have is that there was no indication that this house was right on Hwy 361. Lots of road noise and a long way to the beach. Otherwise, it was a great find.

Great House, Great Management

Comment: We had a wonderful time staying in Royal Sands and Port Aransas Escapes couldn't have been more helpful when making our reservation. I would definitely recommend this location (sub-division) and will stay again!

Comment: I was disappointed with the grill that was sent over to replace the missing grill. They brought a small Weber and for 10 guests, it was a challenge to BBQ. The kitchen was stocked better than any I have ever stayed at. The appliances were great. The house is homey and comfortable and very nicely furnished. Overall, it was a great property!

Very nice but not what I expected

Comment: The house itself was very nice however the location was a little farther from the beach than expected. Also, the floors were not clean, there was a problem with some bugs in one of the bathrooms & the garbage disposal was not working. Got the garbage disposal working the next day.... Outside of these few complaints, the house was very charming. I loved the kitchen with the granite counter tops and the quality appliances. The decor was charming as well. Our favorite decorative item was the dive helmet in the kitchen. :)

Spring Break

Comment: The home has a nice design and was spacious enough for two families. The road noise may make difficult to sleep for light sleepers.

Sea Turtle

Comment: Nice house, but a little too far away from the beach. The property should have a wagon or something to use to help get your supplies to the beach. There is no balcony, and the outside area in the back faces HWY 361. Asked prop mgmt if there was a grill which they said no so we purchased a small grill only to find a grill on the back patio. Also asked a about internet connection but prop mgmt did not know, and found a router upstairs on our last day. Cute house, clean and was good but would not stay there again. I shoud have asked for the specific address and Googled it before renting.
