  BJ B from Spring, TX recommends this vacation rental

  We had a family vacation for 12 people and had lots of room. Everything is close by for convivence. The only complaint would be the futon was broke, so we had to put the mattress on the floor. Also if you have a place rented by a large group we should have a bit more supplies. We had to bring extra paper towels and toilet paper.

  The living area (loft) upstairs was great - our older kids had a place to hang out separately. There was wifi even though it’s listed as not provided. Parking was right by the door. Kitchen supplies are minimal compared to some other places but no problem if you mostly plan to eat out.
  Location was good - no beach view or anything, but very quick walk to the convenience store and maybe a 10 minute walk to the beach. Very clean!

  Staci M from PFLUGERVILLE, TX recommends this vacation rental

  This was the perfect place to stay for a large group. We had 14 people all over the age of 17 and everyone had a comfortable place to sleep and more than enough room. We also had several cars and there was plenty of parking along the street next to the condos. There were 3 full baths and a large laundry room, which was a plus for our large group. The kitchen was well-stocked with lots of pots and pans. The only negatives is that there is not a view of the ocean and the pool was small, but other than that, the place was great. Also, there is not a Keurig as the description states, but there is a coffee maker. Would definitely recommend this as a place to stay.

  Kathy G from San Antonio, Tx recommends this vacation rental

  I thought the house was a great location, about a 7 minute walk to the beach and the house was nicely decorated. We had a group of 14 ppl and it slept everyone comfortably and we had plenty of towels and toilet paper. The bedrooms and kitchen were a bit snug but we managed. The downside were the amenities featured for this listing. We could have used some extra blankets for the beds not in bedrooms. Also the wifi does not work at all and the internet and phone service is spotty. Only 1 tv out of 3 worked and the microwave did not work. Maintenance got the TV's working after 24 hours of us checking in and the microwave didn't get replaced until the last (3rd) night we were there. But I'm sure all those items will be fixed before the next guests come in, except the wifi. Maintenance had no clue how to fix it. We had a great time as we spent most of our time at the beach. And it was an unexpected pleasure not having internet/wifi to just unplug for the weekend.

  The condo was super clean, had the basic necessities in the kitchen, and the beds were super comfortable. The kids really liked the lockers for their belongings in the bunk bed room, and the teenagers liked the loft with the twin over the queen bed for more room. I highly recommend this condo! We had 6 adults and 6 kids and were happy with the space and the large dining table downstairs for eating and games. The pool was great to enjoy after being at the beach, and having 3 bathrooms was wonderful.

  Tamara M from Leander, TX recommends this vacation rental

  Spent 3 nights during spring break with 12 teenagers and we had a great time. The house is in the perfect location and can sleep a ton of people. I don’t think we would stay here for a long trip simply because the kitchen is very small with no storage and I cook every night and bring almost everything with me but for a short trip, if you eat out often or shop on the island it’s perfect. Loved the ladies of Port A Escapes and I’m already trying to book our longer summer trip in another rental with them.

  This little condo has every inch utilized to make room for a large family to all stay in one place. Get rid of the ottoman though. It takes up space and is caving in. Otherwise, it worked perfectly for 10 of us and we had a great time.

  Keely A from Abilene, TX recommends this vacation rental

  We love Gulfshore Condos for two main reasons: 1. Location 2. Accommodations. These condos are right on Beach Access Road 1-A, which means you are within walking distance to the beach. It is also the closest access to the part where you can drive you car on the beach but still be close to town. We like to back our trucks up so we don't have to carry all our stuff. If we have to go to the bathroom or we forgot something we hop in the golf cart and we are back at the condo in 2 mins. There is also a beach store and gas station right next to the condo. These condos are all four bedroom three full baths. There is also an upstairs loft area that can either be another tv/hang out spot and/or bedroom. This particular unit slept 15 but we only had 11 and it was plenty enough space. The downstairs kitchen/dining/living area is a bit cramped but when you add the upstairs loft and the outside picnic table areas it compensates. Now for the downsides to this particular condo. It wasn't cleaned properly upon arrival. The bunk rooms sheets were dusty and needed to be removed and washed before our kids would sleep in them. The living room furniture is looking run down and could use replacing. It is also too bulky for the space. I recommend a smaller sectional to hug the corner by the window and replace the big bulky ottoman with one of those slim ottomans or two small ottomans thst can be used for seating. The kitchen table is also very bulky. I would go with a skinner table that's easier to move to sit behind. There is no garage access and that to us is a big downside as we had a lot of stuff that had to be left outside overnight.

  My wedding party, wife and I stayed here the weekend of our wedding. The property was beautiful and had good accommodations for everyone who was staying. Just had an issue with parking (other occupants from other units parking in our spaces) but besides that it was an overall good experience and I would definitely recommend this location to others.
